When DH is in town 4 nights/week, I'll try to sleep in our bed, but always end up with LO since it's easier for me to just fall back asleep next to her after I nurse.
Last night I decided to experiment.
I put LO down at around 6:44pm.
At around midnight she woke up and crawled out of her bed crying.
I picked her up, put her back in bed, lied next to her and patted her back. She wasn't having it and kept crying.
So I nursed and she fell asleep.
I went back to my bed and she SLEPT TIL 6am. I don't think I've had 6 hours of sleep in.. months?
She woke at 6 crying so I went to her room, nursed her and she slept until 7:30am.
Feeling good this am!
Will see how tonight goes!
