I want to document her sleeping hours so I remember
Week 1 Sleep for an hour and a half at a time and eat 2 oz. (While trying to breast feed. I was breast feeding, giving her to James to bottle feed, then pumping. Talk about NO sleep :)
Week 2 Sleep for an hour and a half at a time and eat 2-3 oz. (Still TRYING to breast feed)
Week 3 Sleep for 2 hours at a time and eat 3-4 oz.
Week 4 Sleep for 2-1/2 hours at a time and eat 4 oz.
Week 2 Sleep for an hour and a half at a time and eat 2-3 oz. (Still TRYING to breast feed)
Week 3 Sleep for 2 hours at a time and eat 3-4 oz.
Week 4 Sleep for 2-1/2 hours at a time and eat 4 oz.
This week Madison has been sleeping 3 hours a night and yesterday she slept (during the day) for 4 1/2 hours. I have been trying to get her to stay up during the day but its impossible. Hopefully she is over her growth spurt and will start sleeping more! My goal: By 6 weeks have her sleeping 4 hours a night and start sleep training.
(Before you read this or think I'm crazy..hear me out.. I know Maddie is young.. But I am a mommy who is ready to work with her little one to get her to sleep....)
I know some baby books are not good but I am going to try this one!!! This book is called,"The baby sleep solution". It guarantees to have your baby sleeping 12 hours by 12 weeks!!! I am GOING to get her to sleep through the night!! I'm going to give it a try. Everything I have tried so far has worked. :)
In other news:
Madison peed all the way through her diaper, night gown, and blanket last night. I got her out of her crib to feed her and she even soaked me. So, I decided it was time for size 1 diapers! She is such a big girl now.... almost 11 pounds!!!!

There is hope for sleep again~ I've been lucky, my baby is a sleeper! She doesn't nap much during the day but at a month old she was only getting up once in the night to eat, she'd sleep a 4-6 hour stretch...now at almost 4 months, some nights she will wake up to eat, and some nights she wont. Most doctors say that before a month old you should wake them up to feed them on a schedule, but after that you can let them make their own.
Try whatever you can! Dont let anyone talk you out of it. I know some mommies swear by the sleep books and some think they are silly. I say try whatever you can. Life as a mommy is a lot easier with a few good hours of sleep!!! Hang in there. I promise youll get more sleep soon!
