I am a researcher. Allison always accuses me of making every purchase way too intense because I have to research everything before I buy it. I read Consumer Reports magazine. I scour the internet for reviews. I compare different products to make sure I'm not only getting the best thing, but also the best priced thing.
It was no surprise, then, when I heard about the pregnancy and I began reading books, blogs, and bulletins about raising children. One of the books I read was Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, by Dr. Marc Weissbluth. Now that Louie is 4.5 months old I have read Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child approximately 6.5 times--twice before she was born, then again once a month since her birth.
Now that we've been following this method for several months, our efforts are paying off! Louie goes to sleep between 6-7 everyday and wakes up at 7:30 every morning. Normally she wakes twice for feedings, but as soon as the bottle empties, she rolls over on her side, closes her eyes, and falls asleep. Yay for a well rested family!
Earlier this week Alli and I were playing our new PS3 and Louie was in her bouncer. I noticed she was no longer squawking, so I looked over to see her asleep. Too cute!
