Sleeping

Found in an email sent to a friend on Wednesday, October 12, 2005 7:22 PM:

. . . I took your message to heart and shortly thereafter started putting him in his crib. And boy, I was still waking up, but what little sleep I got was a lot better sleep. And Jacks was sleeping really well (6-7 hr straight for a week or so) until I started back to work and he started daycare (2x/ week). Now no more than 4 hrs in a stretch. Oy. Current MO has him in bed about this time of night (7:15), and all three of us getting up every day (weekends included) at 7am. Only allowed to feed in bed if he wakes up close to 6am (ok, sometimes 5am). Hoping he soon remembers the 6-7 hr stints and remembers how much we all liked them :)

Ok, off to put him to bed. Send me some pictures and I'll give you access to ours.

Fondly,
Bridget

But but but . . . .

He's so cute and cuddly and it's so much easier to sleep while he's eating if I'm in my bed. I think I understand what you're saying, though. He has a hard time getting to sleep unless he's in someone's arms. I've got a couple sleep books that I hope to get to, now, though, I find myself focusing on getting some breastfeeding questions answered.
