Avocado Update

Aidyn is doing really well with his Avocado. I haven't really seen an improvement in sleep yet, but we've only been doing this for 4 days now. Because it's high in calorie, he is supposed to sleep longer since he shouldn't be as hungry at night.

He did however sleep until 5:15 am this morning!

For over a week now we've been on the same schedule, which has been WONDERFUL! Eating at 10:30pm, going to bed, and waking up at 4:30am. He'll eat and then sleep until 7:00am. When he wakes up then, he isn't hungry...weird. So I've been putting him in bed with me. We'll lay there and "talk" for about 30 minutes and then he'll go back to sleep, usually until about 10-10:30am. And we start the 3hr feeding cycle again until the evening.

Yesterday and today, though, he's been off schedule. Lastnight he ate at 8:45pm instead of 7:30pm like he should have. He wasn't hungry at 7:30pm. He was fussy after he ate, and as much as I didn't want to, I went ahead and put him to bed at 9:30pm...an hour early.

He woke up at 12:45am, but I was hoping he'd still sleep until 4:30am like "normal". Our new "normal" I gave him his paci and he went right back to sleep. He woke up again at 3:00am. Fussy but not crying like when's hungry. I went in, covered him back up (he'd kicked his blanket off) and gave him is paci and off he went again. He slept until 5:15 this morning! Wow!

So...essentially, he ate at 9:00pm and made it until 5:00am - that's 8 hours! Yay!

Hopefully we'll get back to a "regular" schedule that we can stick to. It makes things so much easier!
