I put Alex to bed right around 7:30pm. He woke up around 10:30pm to eat which makes sense. He had 3 tablespoons of oatmeal at 6:45 mixed with 2 oz. of formula. I gave him the additional 2 oz before bed but he typically eats 6oz. at a meal. So that makes sense. Slowly figuring it out here.
It is 5:42am now and he hasn't woken up ALL NIGHT! I did...but he didn't. Every 2 hours I pretty much woke up and went in to check on him.
Alex has started sleeping on his side with his face pointed sort of down which completely freaks me out. But he is strong and has been holding his head up since birth so I hope that human instincts will take over here. He did roll onto his stomach at one point. I heard him start to cry a bit. This was around 5:15am so I got up figuring he was up for the day. When I went in there he was on his STOMACH! Ahhhh!!!! Sheesh kid. So I rolled him back on his side and put a long semi-hard caterpillar stuffed animal under his arm to keep him from rolling. And now...I am watching him like a hawk on the video monitor. Great gift by the way.
We are slowly figuring out how to sleep through the night and it has not required the "cry it out" method which I am just not strong enough to do.
Will I get a full nights sleep soon? Something tells me that he will, but I won't for awhile.
