My girls slept throught the night last night, from 7:30 pm to 5:00 am. I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!! From having to get up 10 times a night to sleeping throught took about 1.5 weeks. For those completely frusterated, THERE IS HOPE!!!! our nights were plainly horrendous (sp). Just had to share
Please share the details- what did you do??!! Great that they slept all the way through the night. What a blessing!
We used to take them into bed with us because we thought we were getting more sleep that way, how wrong we were. Even by getting up 10 times a night, we got more sleep. So we started putting them in their cribs about a month ago, then about 3 weeks ago we started swaddling them again, since it seemed that their hands we waking them up, they were constantly flailing them. We bought them each a tiny blanket with a teddy bear attached, which they love having against their face(its to small to be smothered in), and then of course they have their soother. When they woke up we would go in there, and rewrap them, put the soother in and put their blanket against their face. We would feed them if they came after 2:30 am, slowly we moved their time up to 3:00 then 3:30 then 4:00 and last night they went till 5:00 on their own. I don't know how long it will last, but it's a start.
That's always exciting and I'm sure it's the most rest you have gotten in MONTHS!!! Congratulations and hopefully you get excellent sleepers like mine... In bed by 8 and sometimes sleep until 8 on Saturdays. It's great!
Great news!! You know it seems I can handle anything during the day ... but night time is a whole new ball game! So glad to hear you have hit that milestone!
you are very lucky!! my girls just started to both sleep through the night about 4 nights ago!! and they just started to take better naps! whew!! it only took 11 months
