Sleep

Liam has been sleeping wonderfully at night for over two weeks. We can now put him down at 7 (after his 6:30 feed) and he will generally go to sleep without any intervention from Soph or myself. He will usually cry a little at the start and sometimes a couple of hours in as well, but he's not really serious about it and goes back to sleep very quickly. We get him up for another feed at 10:30pm - ideally he is supposed to sleep through the whole thing but he usually wakes up when we burp him and change him. However he's still sleepy enough to go to sleep the moment we put him on his mattress. And for the last week or so we haven't heard a sound out of him until around 7am!

So I'm back to getting roughly the same amount of sleep as I was getting before Liam was born. Soph is still a bit sleep deprived as she used to go to bed a little earlier and wake up a little later, and Liam isn't letting her nap during the day as much as she'd like. In a week or two we're going to experiment with dropping the 10:30pm feed and seeing how Liam goes sleeping from 7pm to 7am. That way Soph will be able to go to bed as early as she likes, and start to catch up on hours and hours of lost sleep!
