After the night before, I wasn't sure what we would be in for last night but we stuck with the routine (and our guns) and it seems to be getting better.
We started her bedtime routine at 7:20pm and she was in bed by 7:40pm. She cried for 10 minutes and was asleep. I thought I had hit the jackpot but of course, nothing is that easy around here. She woke up at 8:30pm and started to cry. I was starting to get the kids ready for bed and her crying was getting worse. After getting the kids in bed, i went in to find Don rocking her..... of course she was crying!
Once, I had her settled and routine done over again, I was able to put her down awake, she cried for 10 minutes and slept until 2:30am.
I waited 10 minutes to see if she would fall back asleep on her own but she didn't so after a quick feed and put back down awake, she wined once and was asleep until 7:30am when the kids got up and woke her up.
I'm still torn as to what to do in the middle of the night. Should I be giving her a quick feed or try to cut it out?
I know she doesn't "need" the feed and will continue to wake up for it if I let her but right now I'm just happy that she isn't up for 2 hours in the middle of the night, that i really don't mind if she is back out within 15 minutes.
I know I will have t cut it out at some time but just trying to focus on getting her to fall asleep on her own in general right now.
She is cranky this morning so I know she didn't get enough sleep last night. I'm going to move up her bedtime to 7pm tonight and see if she can get an extra hour or so in before the kids wake her up again tomorrow.
But all in all, it was a pretty good night.
