So LO slept a long stretch in the night!

He had an extra bottle yesterday (prob the growth spurt) and his evening bottle at 8pm (usually 7pm). He was down in his Moses basket by 9pm. OH did the usual trying to give dream feed at 11pm but he was sooo asleep he didn't take a single drop. So OH came to bed expecting to be up in an hour or so, as usually he has 11pm feed and then next at between 2 or 3ish.

So the next thing we know it's 4.30am! So he went 8hrs between feeds - yay!! And 7hours sleep. Am pretty pleased! Even if it doesn't happen again for a while at least I know it WILL eventually be a pattern and hopefully the full night :)
 
Isnt it the most amazing feeling!!! Knowing that it's possible made my early morning a whole lot easier. Last night was the first night Kane slept for more then two hours at a time. He slept for six hours straight! I was so happy it was hard to fall back asleep.

Do you still swaddle?
 
I know what you mean I couldn't get back to sleep after his 4.30 bottle I was excited! LO on the other hand went until 7am!

We never swaddled jack as he always got upset and just wanted his arms free. I guess we're lucky that he has always been ok sleeping on his back - at first with a blanket round his tummy and now in a gro bag :)

I wish I didnt have to swaddle Kane he is only happy when swaddled. Kane likes to sleep on his back and on his stomach (he is really gassy- and it helps him get rid of some). I'm trying to get Kane to self sooth or learn to keep his soother in his mouth, he isnt good at either yet :( whats a gro bag?
 
We use grow bags too and I've been told a billion times he won't sleep through without a swaddle when he's so small so this gives me hope!

It's like a blanket but has poppers around the shoulders so LO can't get under the blankets and get smothered. You can get different weights for the seasons. This is the exact one he's sleeping in right now! X
