...that Jill will keep up her latest sleeping habits. For 2 nights now she slept from 11.30 pm till 7 am. I feel like a different person!
Now that we completely switched to bottle feeding I can bring in a better schedule in the day, so Jill gets woken up at 11 pm for her last feeding. When I was breastfeeding she would usually fall asleep exhausted around 9 pm and wake up around 2/3 am. I wouldn't wake her up later in the evening, because with breastfeeding you are supposed to feed on demand. Well that was alright for 3 months, but now it was time to look at my needs (I was just exhausted). So now that we can adjust her feeding and thus can shift her sleeping habit it goes much better (with both me and Jill, we wake up much happier). The first couple of days she still woke up around 3/4 am, mostly out of habit I think, because she would hardly eat, and now she starting sleeping through it. I think the formula fills her a bit better too. Also during the day she only wants to eat every 3-4 hours and with breastfeeding I was very glad to make it to 3 hours.
So now keeping my fingers crossed....
