Baby P's Sleep Schedule

Almost all babies have a hard time getting into a good sleep pattern. Luckily, Baby P was not hard at all! The first couple of weeks was rough, because she was wanting to eat all the time. She was also getting her days and nights mixed up and I wasn't counting exactly how much she was getting everyday, yes, I know dumb mistake.

Well, once I started keeping track of every meal, what time it was and how much she ate things got a lot easier! I didn't start this until she was about three and a half weeks old. I wish I would have started sooner! I had read all kinds of different posts about, getting the baby on a schedule as fast as possible and it will help you and baby sleep more. This was very true for Baby P! When I started counting a how many times a day she was eating and all the ounces together it was much easier to state a bed time! The last meal Baby P has is anywhere from 10:00 to 11:00, depending on how much time she could go between feedings. She has been sleeping all through the night since she was about 4 weeks old! She will usually go about 9 t0 10 hours without eating and sleep for about 8 to 9 hours! After she eats that last time she doesn't go to sleep directly after, so we sit up and play for about an hour and then get all swaddled up and sleep! Baby P HAS TO BE SWADDLED for her to go to sleep and stay asleep for me! We have two Halo sleep sacks and they are SUPER easy to use and she sleeps so good in them! She will usually wake up about 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning, which is super good sleep time for Baby P and Momma! Sometimes she will try to sleep past that but I usually won't let her unless momma just needs some sleep too! Our sleep training isn't over yet, I would really like for her to go to bed by 11:00 and sleep a little more, but sleep is sleep right now! She's right at two months old now, so she is staying awake for the most part of the day and only taking small naps throughout the day. She is also eating about every 3 to 4 hours, was 3 for the longest time but were working our way up! I feel as she stays awake more and eats more the sleeping schedule will get a little better, but for now this is what's working for us!

Keep in mind while reading this, EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT!! This is what is working for me and Baby P, this might work for you and it might not. It might give you some ideas or not! Just a little some things to try and help other momma's out there get some more sleep too!
