Have We Found Sleep?

Hello, 9 hours of sleep. Why have you strayed from me for so long? I'm glad you have returned!

Last night, homegirl KILLED IT with the sleep, going for 9 hours straight! NINE HOURS. Mommy and Daddy love that, Nyla! And how did we get all this sleep? We fed her to the brim last night. She had a bowl of rice cereal and applesauce and I nursed her until she was overcome with post-eating sleepiness. YES.

Don't judge that we fed our daughter that much to get her to sleep. Apparently this is the reason why she has been waking up in the middle of the night: she's hungry! So we're going to continue and see if this is actually the remedy for sleeplessness.

I feel like a new woman. Thank you Nylabear for all that sleep. The funniest part is that when I woke up and looked at the clock, I panicked because it's been so long since she's slept that much! I raced into her room to look at her and there she was, knocked out still. I was able to actually brush my teeth without her crying this morning. When she finally woke up, she didn't even fuss. She just rolled over onto her back, grabbed her little blanket, and started cooing and laughing at the ceiling. Apparently the sleep helped her renew herself too! Love it!

Happy baby = happy mommy
