Milestone-Sleeping Through the Night (wk 9)

So most of the books consider sleeping through the night to be six continuous hours (at night obviously:).  Lauren has been doing 5-51/2 for a couple of weeks, but I was waiting for a good 6 hour one to use as the “official” record.

Last night I fed her at 10:30 and put her back to bed at 11:00pm.  I woke up at 5:00am having leaked all over the bed (too much?) and wondering why my baby hadn’t called for me yet.  I of course immediately start to wonder if she was still alive and breathing so I go check on her.  She was breathing fine and starting to move around a little.  I went and got back into bed to wait her out at which point (I should have known) she immediately started to whimper for her breakfast… I fed her and put her right back to bed until 7:45am.

So six hours!  The next step is getting her to go to bed between 7pm and 8pm and dreamfeed for her 10/11:00 feed and stay asleep until 5:00am.  Yea for a good night sleeper!
