Sleeping through the night…the follow up
I have to say, since my last post, I’ve been getting about 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night. What a blessing! Especially consdering we’ve been traveling since last month and have gone through 4 time zones (India, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Dallas). The little one has adapted wonderfully and gotten used to day and night across the globe, no problem.
Rich’s advice of calorie shifting was great. That coupled with my mom’s advice of 6-10-2-6-10 nursing cinched the deal. Basically, not just did work with the little one to shift their feeding times to days, I also nursed him at 4 hour intervals starting at 6am with the last feeding being at 10pm.
This has worked wonders! In between nursings, Aidan gets his fill of solids so I know he’s got a belly full.
Ah, a full night’s sleep. No replacement for that!
