We try to put him down between 7:00 and 8:00 and for the last week or so—knock on wood—he's slept through till 7:00 or 8:00 AM! Can You Friggin' Believe It?????? Let me tell you, my boobs felt like angry cantaloupes by morning. Ouch. But, the sleep is so worth it. <br /><br />Daytime? It's a whole other story. He still only sleeps in my arms and doesn't really let me put him down. I hope that he will start to be able to nap alone during the day but he definitely does NOT get 3-4 hours of daytime sleep! Ha. Maybe, like, an hour. Total. So, take each day as it comes and don't beat yourself up too much. That's my motto, anyway.Mariehttp://twonerdsandababy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633523040595852266.post-89481482580000580252011-12-08T23:04:31.327-08:002011-12-08T23:04:31.327-08:00Yeah, to a certain extent I feel like the previous...Yeah, to a certain extent I feel like the previous generation accepted the "suck it up" advice. It seems to me that babies cry for a reason, they sleep in the patterns they sleep in for a reason, they like what they like etc.. I'm not willing to accept that I have to be miserable to be the mother of a baby! <br /><br />I hope you can figure out Liam's naps, I'd offer advice, but I'm sure you've probably tried everything I can think of and you know your baby better than I do.Bethany Schweitzer Goshornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744077664028276809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633523040595852266.post-13715681158606036472011-11-30T15:23:33.671-08:002011-11-30T15:23:33.671-08:00Liam has been drooling/gnawing/fussy for about a m...Liam has been drooling/gnawing/fussy for about a month now, so I can totally relate to that crankiness. He has a tiny bud of a tooth through on the upper gum but nothing downstairs as of yet. At first people sort of scoffed at it, like, oh he's too young to be teething! But you know what you see, right? That sucks about the sleep. Liam is a terrible napper (well, he has been pretty much the whole time) and only naps in arms or in the Moby. Night times, he's ok—last night he was down from 8:30 ish to around 3 am (score!) but that's not the norm. <br /><br />It sucks when people just say, "Oh, that's just part of being a Mom." Like, suck it up and just wait for her to outgrow it! But you know that that's not going to work for you. You have to try things and see what works. I'm glad you found something!Mariehttp://twonerdsandababy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633523040595852266.post-14754555292202502562011-11-29T21:55:10.670-08:002011-11-29T21:55:10.670-08:00Oh God, yes, I am terrified of the teefs.

And he didn't. And he still isn't. And I realized I was the one who needed to change. <br />Each kid is different, try to learn from her. They teach you a lot about life without having lived very long. You'll be the expert at being Charlotte's mom, and that's what's important. <br /><br />And try to eat healthy!
