About last night

So Waylon ate at 9 and then went straight to bed. He slept great and I didn't get him up for a dream feed. At 2 he woke up to eat, and took both sides completely. He passed back out at 2:45 and slept until 5. Then I just rocked/patted him about 3 min and he went back to sleep. I thought, hey this is going good! Then it started... at 5:25 he woke back up and fussed/screamed/calmed down off and on until 6:40 when I decided to just feed him. He ate a bit and then went right back to sleep. Then he woke up at 8:30 fussy again. He did eat at 9, but only about half of a normal feed, I guess bc he ate right at 7.
So, until 5 we were having a really good night. Now I just need to figure out the rest!

Do you want the sleep nazi's advice?

Maybe he is going through a growth spurt and needs a few extra feedings? Try not to get too hung up on one bad night. I remember Ashley would go through growth spurts and nurse like crazy every month or two. So, I always just fed on demand. I figure if she was hungry, I should feed her. But, that is just me... I was never really a schedule person. We still are not huge on schedules around the house. We have dinner around a certain time frame, but it is not the exact same time every night.

I've been telling you what Dee Dee's been saying, as you already know. Quite frankly 9 to 2 is awesome IMO! But, hey, that's just me. I would have been in sleep heaven to have that. I was up every 2 hours for 45 minutes each time (so 1 hour and 15 minutes of rest at a time) ALL NIGHT LONG with Kylie. Oh and I just learned to go to bed when the babies did so 9 to 2 would have been 5 hours of sleep for me! That would have been great! It stunk going to bed so early when you work all day and only had the evenings to play with the baby and do housework, but you do what you gotta do.

Oh, don't get me wrong... the 9-2 was great, I thought. It was the crazy up and down thing that happens around 5 that irks me.
And yes, I want even the sleep nazi's advice!

little bump....
