sleeping
I figured it out!
Submitted by Bogusia on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 02:44I figured out how to make Konrad sleep most of the night - make him very warm. I put on his winter clothes, his parka (it's summer now) when he goes to bed and put in a soother in his mouth (which eventually he spits out after he's asleep). This way, he can't move around too much, he's very warm and snuggly, and his hands are confined so that he can't pull out the soother from his mouth. With a blanket, he would always manage to kick it off and would end up uncovered. I thought of the "Parka" idea when I was trying to ignore his crying on a sleepless night sometime in the first month of his life. Ever since then, Konrad has slept very well, and consequently has been in a good mood throughout the days. (Oh, and never change a baby's diaper at night... it just wakes them up, leave it until the morning.)
It works so well! Try it yourself if you have trouble with your baby waking up every two hours at night.
