sleeping trial and error

Filed under: motherhood stuff, Rosie stuff - Administrator @ 11:58 am

So, we have been trying to get Rosie down for sleep at night with some kind of a loose “schedule” - putting her to bed (in our bed) between 8-9pm - whenever she starts showing signs of tiredness - rubbing her eyes and etc. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t. Some nights she goes right to sleep - other nights she fusses and won’t sleep until 11-12 - there is no rhyme or reason to her pattern - so we just have to “go with the flow” - my new mantra… Last night she went to sleep around 9:15pm after fussing for about 30 min - If she lets go of her death clamp on my nipple and if I can slowly ease myself out of bed without waking her - I can go downstairs and pretend I have a life for a few minutes/hours - all the while anxiously checking the monitor for any sign of her stirring so I can run back upstairs to the bedroom and stick my boob in her mouth before she wakes up completely :-) - sounds like fun - huh?
