Last night, the baby slept from 6.30pm till 7.20am.
I heard him once, about 1am ... he gave two teeny cries, then went back to sleep.
The annoying thing: Daves mobile phone started beeping at 3am. (!!!!) Of course he had his trusty earplugs in, so I had to get up and turn the fucker off.
And then Max had a nightmare, so came in at 4am. I gave him a cuddle ... which was fine, because, NO SCREAMING! I'm a new woman. And Rocco seems so much calmer. Obviously he has been sleep deprived too, the poor sweetheart.
When Max was a baby, there is simply no way I would ever ever let him cry, because he only ever cried for a reason. On the day Rocco was born, he was pulled from my belly and started crying like an air-raid siren. It literally took 10 seconds for me to think ... seriously dude, WTF!! I'm actually thinking of taking him to see a kinesiologist, I suspect he might have been quite affected by the circumstances surrounding his birth. I'll take Max too, he holds everything in and doesn't say much.
So, hopefully we are all on a new sleeping journey.
Thank you for your support.

Congratulations. I remember the first night Zach slept through the night. It was glorious.

Yay for sleep !
ReplyDeleteYay for sleeping babies!!! Glad he slept through and hope he continues to do so.
ReplyDeleteLack of sleep is totally the bane of motherhood...starts while you are pregnant and goes on forever. I used to laugh when I heard old ladies complaining they couldn't sleep but now I am headed rapidly in that direction I can really understand it. They have forgotten how.

I hope the success continues for many nights to come! Hurray for putting himself right back to sleep! That's one lesson I learned - if I stopped going in there every time she made a peep, she would go back to sleep in a few minutes. Good job!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Wow, that was a big sleep, he was tired!
ReplyDeleteSo glad for you - hope he keeps up the good work and continues to sleep like a champ. You're probably right about your boys needing something to get the events of last year out of their bodies. But what does a kinesiologist mean in your part of the world - I think it means something different here.
ReplyDeleteWahooo! Go Rocco, go Eden! And here's to many more nights of blissful sleep (though this time with no nightmares or annoying mobiles beeping.)

How wonderful! What a good baby. Hopefully Edenland will be a place of good sleep and rest for a while to come!

I am still not sleeping because of my kids...but it is because they are out LATE in CARS and I worry they are as stupid as they act sometimes and will run themselves into a ditch.
ReplyDeleteI'm going through the trials and tribulations of numerous night wakenings by myself (Sgt is deployed to the 'ghan). I became so bleary eyes it was easier to take G into bed with me but I had created a monster who would not sleep in his own crib any more. Tonight is night 3 of our Op CryBaby and so far it's OK.
