Little Noah has figured out his sleep. I credit several things to this new development. The first is just being big enough to not need to eat during the night. At his 8 week appointment, Noah weighed 11 lbs 6 oz and was 22.5" long. He's gained over 5 lbs since he was born (he dropped to just over 6 lbs in the first few days). That has to help, right? Treating his reflux has made a difference, too. We started him on Ranitidine BID and I can definitely see a change. Lastly, just plain luck. I have enough experience with kids now to know that sometimes they're good sleepers and sometimes they're not. As soon as you think you've got it figured out, something will change. So we've just been blessed to get between 6-8 hour stretches at night over the last few days. Noah has been sleeping from about 10-6. It's amazing. AMAZING.

| He sleeps best with his feet crammed against something. It must make him feel more secure (i.e. remind him of all those months crammed against my ribs). |
I'm experiencing cuteness overload...Em, he is darling!!! I guess Alan helped a little, too (c: Glad to hear he is giving mama a little rest during the night...that is always when I start enjoying life again. (c: Congrats on your sweet new(ish) little angel!
ReplyDeleteso very true! i'm glad he is finally sleeping well. we are now re-training ALL of our kids to sleep at their regular bedtimes again. road trips definitely take their toll. it will be nice to sleep again. ;) your little noah is such a cutie pie.
