Madison seems to be doing well sleeping in her crib through the night. Two nights ago, and last night she's gone down at bedtime, around 9pm-ish with 5 minutes or less of crying. :) She's slept straight through until 4am-ish, which is when she normally wakes to be fed. After her feeding, she's gone back to sleep with 5 minutes or less of crying until 8:30am-ish, which is when she normally wakes up for the day. THANK GOODNESS!
However, I will admit I really miss all the cuddling and waking up to her sweet face each morning.
Naps during the day...now, that's another story. Yesterday was tough. Lots of crying. :( Not a lot of daytime sleeping. Today has been better. She went down for her morning nap with less than 5 minutes of crying, and slept for about an hour and a half. Here she is...apparently she is a side sleeper!
This afternoon she went down around 3:30pm, easily, and awoke around 4pm. I'm letting her fuss a bit now, and hoping she'll go back to sleep...we'll see...
I have always been pretty consistent with Madison's bedtime, so I attribute that to her being able to sleep at night so well. Her naps have never been super consistent, so I think that's why we're struggling a bit more. I'm trying now to get her on a better napping schedule to help her sleep better during the days.
It's still horrible listening to her cry during the day, and there are still moments I feel like I made the wrong decision. I'm probably going to gain 10 lbs. in the meantime, because for some reason, I feel like eating a ding dong while she's crying will magically help her go to sleep. Yes, I am cursing Josh for stopping at the Hostess Bakery Outlet, and cursing myself for having no will power. Geesh!
But honestly, right now, I do feel like she's improving. So, for now...we'll continue.
