I was determined last night to try out the advice from Rich’s article on reducing night-time feeds.  At 10:30pm sharp, Aidan had his last feed for the night and went to sleep without a fuss.  At 1:17am, the l’ll guy woke up.  I sent the hubby in for a quick diaper change and a reassuring pat.  Aaah, back to sleep.  3:54am, awake again.  Another diaper change, and time for some nursing (usually Aidan wakes up for a feed at around 2:30am).  Quick feeding, and back to sleep.  7:04am, awake once again (sigh), another feeding and diaper change.  Aidan’s in the mood to play, so he hangs out on our bed between the hubby and me, explores around, sees us asleep and curls up near my knees and passes out.

9:14am, Aidan’s still asleep.  Ah, finally.  He actually slept in (wow, this rarely happens)

We’ll be trying this again tonight to see if we can prolong the first night time feed to a decent hour
