Re: Thankful Thursday
I'm thankful Jeff is going to take E's new 10 pm feeding. Maybe then I can string 3 hours of sleep together.
@mana8503 how often is E waking up at night now? have you tried to soothe her with a paci or rocking her instead of feeding at night when she wakes up? I slowly at some point stopped feeding Bear when he would wake up in the middle of the night since they don't really need it since they're eating so much now during the daytime. esp if she ate 19 oz during the day! Bear only gets 15oz.

@amccul20 - She's been going to sleep around 730-8 (I'd prefer 8-830 but she melts down around 7). We've been getting up at 10, 12, 2, and 4, or 3 of those times on a good night.
I was feeding her all those times when she was sick to keep dehydration away. Since she's better, I try to rock with a paci if it's less that 4 hours. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Last night I feed her at 10, and she refused to stay asleep when I laid her down. Finally at 1130 I fed her again and she stayed asleep. I've tried putting her in her crib drowsy, but awake with her sea creature soother on, it's only worked once. I go in and just put her paci in, and she spits it out and screams.
It's been going on since Christmas. I thought it was being in NC, then she got sick... and now 4th leap/ 4 mon sleep regression/ growth spurt? I know I need to be consistent but some nights I try to get her to self sooth, other I just feed so I can sleep.
She only had 14 oz yesterday! I told mom to only give 3 oz after morning feeding and she's been fine with that. I've been pumping 17, so that does leave Jeff a bottle. I'd rather him take a feeding at 10, even though it's 2 hours, since he goes into work around 11, and hope she skips to 4 am.
<:-P
@mana8503 its so hard!! the 4 month sleep regression was really hard for us and lasted like 2 months!
then he was sick.
so we're finally getting some sleep again!
you just have to figure out you're groove. we did sleep training with Bear like @klm42404and it worked well for us.
