Hey, Big Sleeper!

Big news, folks--we only had one middle of the night feeding last night! Andrew nursed at 10 pm and went right down to bed. He woke up at 1:30 am for a diaper and I suggested that we see if he'd go back down without a feeding, since there was no doubt he'd let us know if he were hungry. I just knew he was going to start crying any second, but he didn't! He fell right to sleep and we didn't nurse again until 4:20 am. We've always had at least two feedings middle of the night feedings, so this was a big change. Only time will tell, but this may mean we're on our way to sleeping through the night!

A big key to Andrew sleeping well at night is having him swaddled in his sleep sack, like below. This is what Jacob calls the baby burrito!

I LOVE the baby burrito! He's gonna make a great outdoorsman... I sleep just like that in my sleeping bag =).
Glad you're getting some sleep. And congrats again. May your bebe lead a healthy, happy life.
