Evolution of sleep

After five months of sleeping apart from the awesome husband, the time has come for us to be reunited!

For two nights in a row I've returned to my own bed. The change was made possible by baby's ability to move confidently on his own and to self soothe when he stirs up in the middle of the night.

I've slept in the nursery since his 2nd month out of concern that he may flip onto his face and not have the dexterity to get back up, and suffocate. :(

Well, the time has come for me to get back to my good old bed, and I rejoice being able to chat with the awesome husband until we fall asleep. Although, I must admit, I also miss spending my nights with the tiny bub and hearing his delicate sighs while he slept.

Anyway, I wonder if it's a coincidence that baby has been sleeping through the night since I moved away.

The first night he woke only at 4.40am, after going to bed at 9.30pm. He fed and returned to sleep until 7am.

Last night, he went to bed at 9.15pm and stayed in till 4.50am. He was wide awake sit on his feed though, and it took quite a while to pat him back into slumberland.

But oh what progress! Baby is becoming a big boy!
