Hi all,
Jadyn is finally sleeping through her 45min mark for the first nap. Second one is a hit or miss, about 60% sleeps through it. I am so happy!! I darkened the room pitch black with blackout and I think it helped. I also top her off for both of the naps for about 5mins.
Lindsey's mom, I too have been rocking her for her winddown time, after I top her off, and I stand up from the glider and rock her in my arm for about a min and put her down. I think I might be cheating because I'm putting her down when she's pretty much in her stage 1 sleep. :oops: But it works really well, so I'm ok with it.
Taylor's mom, wow, that's great your lo sleeps from 7:30 til 8am. I'm very happy with mine going from 7:30 til 6:30am or 7am, but I would love it if she would go towards the 8am rather than the 6:30 am. :wink:
Still doing the gradual weaning and it's going well now. She hasn't had the paci in her mouth to sleep at all after 5-10min of sleep. I remove it very slowly now and she doesn't notice it much anymore. What's funny is I give her the paci for the naps during the wind down and she knows what's coming. She won't take it any other time except the sleep time.
Something new she's doing these days: She doesn't yawn when she's sleepy anymore. After being awake about 1 hr 40 mins, she starts this squealing, loud!! And if I don't put her down within 10 mins, she screams & screams til she's red in the face!! Has this happened to anyone? She used to yawn & yawn and get sleepy eyes, but now it's this squealing loudly and almost like laughing and having a good time then seconds later is the screaming!!! I had to come home from work, after I'd only gotten there 30mins. My sister called & Jadyn was screaming so loudly I couldn't hear my sister trying to explain what was going on. She was passed out by the time I made it home. I drove like a crazy woman home!!!
She is so easy going any other time and so very sweet that I just can't stand it!!! She's still chewing everything in sight and drooling like crazy. She is smiling all the time and finally stopped crying when a stranger is talking to her. She doesn't smile at them necessarily, but at least she's not doing her little lips and start crying.
Hope to hear about your lo's updates.
