I learned 2 valuable lessons last night! 1) Never check in on a sleeping baby and 2) Remember the plan.....
Napping has been going really well. I can put her down awake now which I was never able to do before so I've been feeling good and confident about the way things are headed.
I've been reading alot of info from the Sleep Baby website as well which has been helpful.
So yesterday, Isabella had her 2 2hour naps and then was ready for bed. We did our nightly routine and put her down. She cried for about 30 seconds then was out. She woke up about half an hour later and cried for about 5 minutes but fell asleep again, I was so proud!
I went to bed around 10pm knowing you never know what the night is going to bring and as I'm lying there, I thought I should probably check on her to make sure she hadn't kicked her blankets off when she was crying (a classic Isabella move) Especially with it being -30 outside, her room was a little cool and I didn't want her being cold. So I snuck in, tucked her in and pow! She was awake. UGH! I was so mad at myself. Well, it took another 2 hours to get her back to sleep but by midnight she was out.
She woke up again at 3am and like before, it took 2 hours. But by the end of the 2 hours, I thought to try redoing our night time routine, so bum change, massage, nurse and bed. Not sure if it was because she was just ready to go back down or if it was the actual routine but it worked and she was out and lucky me got 2 more hours of sleep before I had to get up for the day.
I really have no idea what is going on with her. It seems like now that we have her naps in order, she is thinking night time is nap time too. She is also starting to teeth again so some fun meds might be in the routine for the next few nights as well ;0)
