Definitely progress! I never thought we would get there. Last night she slept through until about 445 and DH said she was unsettled after that. I fed her at 615 and then she went back down. I woke her at 740! Crazy!! I really want to get her onto 7-7 and it seems like we are getting there. Yay! Of course we have a pedi appt at 230 today and since she woke up so late, nap will be late. Argh. I'm going to try to move the appt later but not sure they will be able to do it. I'm tempted to cancel it altogether since we are just getting into a good rhythm but DH says there will always be something so we should just deal with it. I do think he has a point.

Hope it all went well! I think your DH is probably right that there is always something, especially with subsequent children.

Ended up being able to move the pedi appt to next week. Yay!

Things generally a lot better. Taking decent naps. Sleeping 7-7 or 730. Waking up still a couple of times in the night but settling quickly. DH is still on her floor. I am nursing her around 6 but she is going back down. Slow progress but moving in the right direction. I have been sleeping in the basement so actually getting decent sleep! Whoo hoo!

I have seriously felt like a new person this week! It's amazing. Last night I didn't get in bed until almost 2 because I was working and then up and down with kids etc in the early morning and up at 830. Felt like I have for the last few years all over again! So incredible what a difference it makes. Early to bed for me tonight!

Not sure at what point DH stops sleeping on her floor. It's so much easier for him since then he doesn't have to get up to settle her, and I don't have to worry he won't hear her. But it could be a prop at this point? Not sure

Is she still waking often? I guess I'd have him start moving away toward the door until he's out and then see what happens. :-\

Once or twice a night. Last night not until 5. He's basically laying there and saying a sleepy phrase and she goes back to sleep really quickly.
