Alright, it has been 5 months of terrible sleep. Everyone who told me... "Enjoy sleeping in now, those days are numbered!" I had nooo idea. These days, I consider it a good night when I get up once between 10-6am. (Albeit I am 'up' for about half an hour, diaper change, feed, burp). My mission: to sleep for a period longer than 5 hours at night. Not to much to ask is it??
The Plan:
My daughter currently wakes up at 2ish to eat, then sleeps until 6-7am. Often, she isn't particularly hungry when she gets up. After a recent stormy night, she woke up at 1:30, ate, and got up at the usual time. I thought if I could keep feeding her progressively earlier each night...
Night 1- woke herself up 1:30 ate, up at 6:30
Night 2- I got her up 1:30, changed her diaper, fed her, slept until 6:50
Night 3- She woke up at 1am!!! Ate, slept until 6:40
Tonight--- setting my alarm for 1am
Tomorrow- setting alarm for 12:50... and so on 10 minutes earlier each night
Wish me luck!!!!
