sleeping on his own (night 3)


Yesterday, Josiah didn't get a morning nap b/c of church. I tried an afternoon nap a little earlier than yesterday, but I think he was already overtired. After crying for 15 minutes, Bill went in and bounced him to sleep and then put him down in his crib, but he only slept 20 minutes.

Since Josiah had barely slept all day, he was way tired in the afternoon. I just bounced him and held him for another nap. He catnapped for 25 minutes.

But during bedtime, he went to sleep with less than a minute of crying!! He woke up a few times during the night, but again, was able to go back to sleep on his own. He woke up around 6:45 to 7:00 in the morning, but was able to tolerate being in his crib until it was time to get him at 7:30.

Josiah seems to be doing phenomenal at night. I remember having to get up frequently with William in the middle of the night even after he would cry himself to sleep. But Josiah seems to be a super-baby when it comes to sleeping at night. It's his daytime sleep that we really need to work on. I think that will take a while to tweak, but I think we're off to a good start. =) I've also noticed that the front of his sleep sac is often wet when I check on him. I think it's b/c he pulls it up to suck on since he loses his paci when he cries. Maybe he won't turn out to be a thumb-sucker after all.

(Sorry about all the detail in the previous few posts. It's more for my memory than anything else.) =)
