Phew - sleep at last!

If you had spoken to me 2 weeks ago I would have told you that Mackenzie is a bad sleeper, not weaning with any success and was getting quite tiresome and cranky. Now it's all changed!!!

The past 6 nights she has slept from 7- 7.30 until 7.45 am with no feeds! She wakes about once, maybe twice and all it takes now is for us to go in and lay her down and say "it's sleep time" and she's fine. She's having 2 day-sleeps still and eating 3 meals (though one is usually a nibble!). I am only feeding her 4 times a day now and think that I can cut down to three soonish.

So just wanted to say how happy I am that we have a sleeping, HAPPY girl who has a really good pattern happening. There is hope!

I think that's it Marydean - there is no way I would have let her to cry time after time, night after night. Because it worked so quickly I was glad we made the sacrifice but I can see how this doesn't work for everyone. I just love how quickly she can settle into a routine and cope with the change!
