Two steps forward, one step back...
Something like that!
We have recently hit the milestone where Isla is able to fall asleep on her own in the crib. After feeding, burping and a few minutes of hugs and cuddles, I can put Isla in her bed and she will turn her head to the side, cozy into the plush blanket, and fall asleep.
Doesn't that sound amazing?
It totally was for one day! Although we are still working on this milestone, it seems we have also managed to hit a growth spurt at the same time. I guess you can't win them all!
Isla went from sleeping from about 8 or 9pm to 4 or 5am, with a quick feed and back to sleep until 8:30am....to...fussing and eating every hour or two! aaah! My growing hate of the Sleep Sheep has not helped matters, where she is waking instantly as soon as the stupid sheep stops emitting it's calming rain sound (does anyone actually use the other sounds??? The "whale" setting totally freaks me out)
I know that it is just a phase, and she is growing and therefore needs more food and a little more attention, but it is definitely frustrating :(
Let's hope she grows quickly and gets back to "normal" soon.
On a brighter note, she LOVED going to visit dad at his work yesterday. She did incredibly well at school, and although appeared very wide-eyed when placed in front of a room of 30 kindergarten students, she was a model baby. I was pretty proud of her :)
