teach my baby to sleep through the night

I’ll get there, just a matter of time and patience. Now I’m just a bit tired.

He has learned a new way of sleeping. More often than not he sleeps in four to six hour streches so he only wakes up two, three or four times a night. I have changed a lot since he started to sleep better :). I have also learned not to wake up every hour or so.

six hours of sleep! Incredible! OK, I didn’t sleep that well because I kept waiking up every now and then, but I feel optimistic about this again.

He’s better now, the flu is over. And it shows! He woke only twice last night and three times the night before. Whatever we are doing it must be the right thing because it works. He still does wake up every four hours or so, so it’s not counted as ‘sleeping through the night’. When that happens a couple of times I’ll consider ticking this goal off as achieved :)

Our son got into the habit of nursing during the night and before i realized he had assosiated falling asleep with nursing. Now we are trying to change this assosiation. Our first step is to teach him to fall asleep by himself and it is going quite well. On the other hand the night wakings and the number of nursing times has increased. I hope it is due to his flu and when it is over things will change. Last night was good. At least for four hours he didn’t want to nurse (even though he woke up a lot). I’m optimistic.
