Good nights rest

Well for the past week we have been working with Mckayla to sleep all night, usually aiming for 8 hours. She normally only woke up once a night, but she needed to learn to sleep longer at night. All week we have seen slow improvement; we put her to bed and she cries herself to sleep after only 10 or so minutes and then in the middle of the night she woke up twice a couple nights then just once. Each time though got shorter and shorter, we'd just give her the pacifier to help soothe her to sleep faster. Friday night when I worked Chris said she did cry for a bit when he put her to bed but at night she only barely made noise a couple times but not crying, mainly just wanting her pacifier, and she was still asleep when I got home at 8 so that was over a 9 hour night! Yay! But the absolute best was last night. I fed her around 11pm and she played for about 30 minutes or so then got tired so I held her and swayed with her for about 5 minutes and she started to fall asleep so I laid her in her bed and she went right to sleep, no crying at all!!!!! The best part is she didn't make one peep ALL NIGHT!! She didn't wake up until 7am and then went back to sleep after I fed her then! WOOHOO we did it! Hopefully it will continue but it seems like we got her used to it!
