..to perhaps sleep like a newborn! 'Cause I'm telling ya, babies don't sleep all that great. In my previous post I had finally had some ray of hope come threw with my babies sleep. However, after that we had a short trip down to the US which threw our nap schedule out the door. Once we came back the poor girl caught a cold. Probably due to the lack of sleep from the trip. Finally after a week the cold finally dissipated. However, we were left with a mess of schedule/routine. She has always been pretty consistant with her naps but that was no longer. One day she was tired after an hour, next it was 3 hours. She would only stay asleep for 30-40 minutes and wouldn't go back down despite still being tired. So after 2 weeks of trial and error, watching her sleep cues very carefully because she is not the most obvious with those. I also downloaded an app called baby tracker. It lets you enter when they fall asleep and when they wake up. You can also track their feedings and diaper changes. For the first 2 weeks you get the charting option, which lets you compare each day in a nice little chart, for free. After that they do want you to pay but luckily I don't think I need it so I won't bother.
Anyways, for now we seem to be doing alright but as I have learned things can change very quickly. So never get comfortable with a schedule/routine, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment..lol
