He sleeps!

Finally, he sleeps through the night.

Last Saturday, the baby slept from 11.30 pm 'til 8.30 am (I had to wake him up!), so we started hoping that 4 months of sleep deprivation were coming to an end.

Alas, the next days, he woke up at 3 am again. He didn't cry, he just made some sounds, so we got up, changed diaper, prepared milk etc.

Tuesday night, he was awake again at 3 am. It was my shift (my wife and I take turns), but I was exhausted and didn't want to get up; apparently, I fell asleep again, and so did he.

Wednesday night, my wife also resisted the urge to get up at the first sound, and yep, he fell asleep again.

Last night, I didn't even hear him, so he probably slept straight until 7.00 am, just like mum and dad.

That's three nights in a row with a normal, good night sleep of more or less 8 hours for all of us!

Hurray!

Hehehe, it's tough to overcome that instinct to leap to baby at the first sound. Subsequent children and sleep deprivation temper the reaction time. Has he started on baby food yet?
That will be an adjustment period too, but should help him sleep longer without waking up because of hunger. How much does he weigh now?

My little stinker used to be a midnight rambler. Active throughout the night till daddy went to work, then sleep much of the day till I stumbled home. Coffee and a series of combat naps were my survival kit.
