Thank you to all of you who gave me advice about how to get my little bug to sleep. Since she was sick for about 2 weeks I didn't want to try anything new,but now that she's feeling alot better Julien and I have been experimenting. The last 2 weeks have been trial and error, and we've found something that actually kind of works. First of all, I stopped swaddling her and just put her in her little baby sleeping bag. She rolls on to her tummy and actually sleeps. We decided to get the angel care monitor to help calm our fears about the tummy sleeping, and it's been really great. We still have major issues for daytime naps (she will only sleep in someone's arms or next to someone) but at least now we get a little sleep at night. She goes down around 9, wakes up at 12am, then 3, and then around 7. She wants to nurse every time, as the longest she can ever go is about 4 hours before we need earplugs for her squeaks and squeals, and since she's not the biggest baby on the block and she only nurses for about 5 minutes I let her.
Anyways I have to go; those squeals are getting pretty ear piercing right about now.
I'll write soon,
Becky
