Not the best night, really.   :-\  NW at 11, 3, 6:30. Was really hoping for a longer stretch in there.  At least there weren't any crib parties which is what I feared with the longer naps.  Not sure why she needs 2 NFs now, though.  It's been at least a week of them.  How long do GS's usually last?

I think you were very lucky to get those long nights at this age! Maybe she's just going back to the 'normal'? She's on your milk exclusively, right?

We had a night last night where DS2 fell asleep early (for once!) and didn't make it to the second evening cluster feed. And he was up twice and then at 6.30 fed again. I counted that one as the first feed of today.

Will she take more at bedtime, maybe?

oof 2 weeks!

Yeah, you guys are right.  I can't complain too hard as I know from DD1, things could be muuuch more exhausting.  I'm fighting a cold and just feeling loopy so makes disrupted sleep harder right now.

We are definitely making progress with settling during naps.  She had 1 long (3hr!) nap today and I did have to settle her at the 40 min. mark, but it didn't take nearly as long as yesterday and then she kept on sleeping.  So feeling good in that respect.  I do find it hard still the lack of routine in general, but really that's not just her napping.  It's just every day is different with work stuff, DD1's activities, etc.  So, really, it's about finding several routines that will work with whatever the day brings.  I definitely felt encouraged today she had an a.m. catnap on the school run, long midday nap, and mini catnap while I walked the dog this evening then settled fine for bed.  So I think I'm slowly sorting her A times again.

Oh no! Hope she's better soon.

Having a rough couple of days here too, I feel your pain.
