So last night was not so bad-except my husband let me fall asleep on the couch for 3 hours while Maggie was supposed to be eating and he was playing a video game! He said he thought I was just watching TV! So-I missed a big part of my bed time sleeping and had a major neck cramp but Maggie did go from 10:45 to 3:30 without needing to eat. She woke up once at 2:30 but a paci and a few rocks of the cradle and she went back to sleep. She woke up again at 6:30-i got up to fed her because Annabelle heard her crying and woke up-but after a few minutes of eating she was out again. So she slept til 8:00 and then she was really ready to eat.
What I learned from her yesterday is that with the floor time and increased attention to keeping her intriqued, her tummy was much less upset and she was more ready to sleep last night! SUCCESS! I cant say she has a consistent schedule by any means, but we do have a routine that is working. Eating-then playing as long as she will take it-sleeping and then it is usually time for the next feeding. I have to wake her up for the next feeding, but she is more than happy to go along with it.
The other benefit of this new plan is that Maggie and Annabelle are starting to interact more. They played with Annabelle's dolls, played on the activity mat together and Annabelle loved seeing eye to eye with her in the Bumbo! I even got some great pictures of Maggie playing like one of Annabelle's dolls and some smiles from Maggie that I will post in a little while. It is time for Maggie to eat so I have to wake her up from her pleasant dreams!!!
