Last night was the first night Megan has slept through the night. She went to bed after 8:30 last night, woke up around 1:30 last night...then put herself back to sleep, and then woke up this morning around 6:30. We were very happy.
For the past couple of weeks we've been working up to this. We cut out her nightly feedings altogether, and then when she would wake up in the night I would go in there and pat her head a bit. The whole idea was to get her calm without picking her up. Then for the past couple of weeks I had been going in there around once a night, but she would quickly fall back asleep. I would sleep on the floor in her room for a bit, just to make sure she would stay asleep. So last night was her first all-night sleep.
The funny thing is we're going to Texas next week. So now that we've got her sleeping better we'll just pick her up and put her in a new environment, bed, etc. I'm sure that will help. HA!
