Last night was Kennedy’s first night with 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
YEAH!!!
Great strides were taken to get to this point mind you. We started with a book, “The No-Cry Sleep Solution” by Elizabeth Pantley. After reading 20 pages I realized we were overlooking the obvious, give her what she wants. We started with warming her crib with the heating pad, turning down the lights, imagine that, and then after a couple more nights of interrupted sleep, the “womb” sound machine. The book also suggested we put her in her crib before she is totally asleep, mainly because babies get confused if they wake up somewhere totally different. I realize this might be a one-time event but it sure does wonders for my mental state with a longer period of sleep.
We'll see, tomorrow might bring 2 hours.
