So either the whole solid foods thing is the cause (well, at least a primary contributor) or it's just a big time coincidence, but ever since we started the rice cereal, Carson has been sleeping through the night. I mean literally, not the book definition of 6+ hours. To me, sleeping through the night is when MOM gets to sleep through the night! :-) He's slept 11-12 hours straight for the last four nights, 7pm to somewhere between 6-7am!!! HALLELUJAH!!! HALLELUJAH!!! HAL-LE-LU-JAH!!!
He doesn't fight going to bed at all... bath then eat and he is out!!! Still not much of a napper, which can make the days tough, but I'll take that any day over having to get up at night. He usually only takes 2 naps of about 30 min to an hour. Some days it's three and some days he might conk out for a little longer, but on average, he just doesn't really want to sleep during the day. He really fights napping in his crib, so lately at least one of those naps has been in the swing. Yesterday, it was in his door bouncer. Yes. He fell asleep in it after jumping for over an hour. At his 4-month check-up, I asked the doc for some tips on napping and was told that some kids just aren't nappers. If he's getting all the required sleep at night, then that's fine. Looks like that's the bucket we fall into! Let's just hope it stays that way!!! :-)
Congratulations!!! What a great feeling! But how in the world do you survive with only two tiny naps?? You deserve an award!!
