ssshhhh sleeping through the night
I want to shout it from the roof tops but had better stick to whispering instead. We seem to have cracked sleeping through the night.
For the last 2???? weeks Kayleigh-Mae has pretty much slept each night through, apart from 2 nights where DH let her nap too close to bedtime.
She usually goes down for the night at about 10, but it can be as early as 9.30 or as late as 11.30 and doesn't wake til about 7 or 8.
I can't tell you how much of a big thing this is for me as my other 3 children were still waking in the night until they were about 18 months and DS2 still occasionally wakes in the night. Although he just comes and gets into bed with us now, rather than waking us up crying.
This morning Kayleigh-Mae woke at 7 to be fed, which I did lying down in bed with her next to me, after about 15mins she went back to sleep, despite my DS2 being in the bed next to her kissing her, and is still asleep now
I feel like a different person now that I'm getting proper sleep and I'm sure DH thinks I'm nicer to live with now
Hope the rest of you ladies start to get the goodnights sleep you deserve, if you're not already doing so.

I must say Oliver is improving during the night too (fingers crossed!)

Don't think I could keep her up until 9.30...she'd be asleep in my lap.

Benjamin is sleeping from 7.15pm till around 4am, wakes for about a 20 minute feed then back down (usually without dummy, whoop!) to anywhere between 6am (yawn) or 8am (yipee!!!)...
KayeCee, as a short term fix you could try something like black sugarpaper to keep the light out?!
