We now have a nightly routine. I feed her at 9:00 pm, go to bed around 10:00 pm, and Jes stays up to feed her at 12:00 am. Sometimes she’s practically eating in her sleep at midnight. With this plan, I get about 6 hours of sleep before she wakes up again at 4:00 am. That’s when I pick her up and feed/change her in the livingroom and she sleeps in the bassinet on the chair while I sleep on the couch for the rest of the morning. That way she can fuss as much as she needs while Jes gets enough sleep for work in the morning. It’s been going well so far and last night was about the same. However, a certain little baby woke up again at 6:30 and didn’t want to go back to sleep. So, I plopped her next to me on the couch and hung out with her until we both fell asleep. When Jes got up to get ready for work, he found us sleeping together like this.
We didn’t wake up until 9:00 am for her next feeding. Afterward, she was in such a good mood that she was perfectly happy just sitting under the blanket with me on the couch.
