Almost on a Routine
July26
We are almost on a routine with Lexi. We still have some kinks to work out, namely she wakes up crying from her naps after a half hour or so. Here is what we have achieved so far.
- Lexi wakes up at 7 am and is in bed by 7:30 pm! She sleeps all night (but she was doing this before)
- She only eats 5 times a day. What a RELIEF! What was I thinking feeding her 8 times a day. Live and learn.
- She naps 3 times a day…we are still working on her staying asleep for 1 1/2- 2 hours for her first two.
Perhaps by the end of the week she will be right as rain.
I totally hear you on the eating less thing. I came into motherhood thinking nursing was the answer to every cry, and things were so much better when I finally realized that sometimes K was crying because he was grumpy and tired, not hungry, and that I didn’t need to feed him again when I had just fed him an hour ago. Hope her naps get better. I think Kevin’s naps were pretty short when he was little, but now he will nap for a couple of hours with no problems, so I’m sure she will get better.
