Reagan's sleep

Reagan slept through the night for the first time last night! I don't expect this to be the norm (Katya slept through the night at 6weeks but did not do it consistently until 7 mo) for a while but it is still exciting. She slept from 9am until 6am!! I was really shocked, especially because she did not want to nurse before bed and so she had not eaten since 5pm. That is 11 hours without food and her diaper reflected that by not being very wet this morning. That I don't like because it is so important for babies to stay hydrated. I had to get up and pump at 1230 and if I had known that she would sleep for so long I would have pumped both sides. When she got up at 6am she nursed well, projectile vomited, then we played and read books, nursed again and then went back down at 7am.

She definitely is sleeping longer stretches at night. A 4-6hr stretch is not uncommon but we are still struggling with getting her to let us but her down. She is still sleeping in her swing.

We are doing great with her in cloth diapers and I once again prefer them to disposable. They are not leaking like they were with Katya; the laundering is going well and we have less blow outs in them than in disposables.

We have several projects going on which I will talk about in another post. Love to all, Brenda
