Then you might be there! My dd1 was a week late and she generally made those transitions early too. I really think their gestational age makes a big difference in these early milestones -- being born at 41 weeks (in her case) and being born at 37.5 weeks (in the case of my ds) made a difference for mine -- ds was in that sleepy newborn phase for what seemed like forever, while dd1 never really had one.
I agree about gestational age making a difference. I'm sure DD is ready for the transition.
Last night was much better. Our day and night was:
7:30 - I think she was awake and quiet - I didn't go in
Get up and E: 8:00
S: 9:15-10:45 - She went to sleep on her own - no paci or patting
A and E: 10:50-2:10
S: 2:10 - 3:45 - IS again (First time she's gone to sleep on her own twice in one day!)
A and E: 3:50-5:50
S: 5:50-6:10 - She fought this one a bit - I rocked her
A and E: 6:10-8:20
S: 8:20
NW: 10:30 (paci and quick pat), 12:00 (fed and asleep by 12:30), I think she fussed a bit sometime after but she went back to sleep quickly
WU: 7
I think the amount of daytime sleep was better yesterday because she was not wanting to play in the MOTN. It's the amount of A time that I'm not sure about. I know I just need to do some tweaking with the catnap and possibly A times because I think she's a bit OT by BT. Before the bad nights started a 20 min catnap and 1h45-1h55 before bed was perfect (she went to sleep fairly quickly and there were no OT wake-ups) but then she started fighting BT. I'm not sure how much A time to do before BT now. I'm also not sure if I should stretch her other A times a bit yet because of the IS. I'm thinking they're pretty right on if she's going to sleep independently (but yesterday may have been a lucky day - we'll see how today goes

Do you have any recommendations for changes to our routine?
