After being transferred back to her bed after her cold (she slept in her rock n play), she was not the normally good sleeper that I knew she could be. She fought the swaddle and was awake every hour or two, so we decided to throw the swaddle out and just deal with it. We had about two weeks of 1-3 hour sleep sessions. Thankfully we could quickly get her back to sleep fairly quickly. However, near the end of her third month she was back to sleeping her normal long hours (8/9-3/4 and then down again until 6:30/7). She is still waking up for one feed, but our goal is to try to get rid of that soon.
Napping on the other hand is difficult for Mommy. She sleeps fine at day care 2 naps of 1-2 hours and does the same for Grammy and Meme. However for Mommy she only likes to nap being held. Over two days, I can normally get one nap of any length in her crib. She does nap nightly around 5/6 for like 45 minutes, but this one I normally snuggle her because the day away is just too long.
Eating habits:
Olivia started this month eating about 3 ounces every 3 hours then one day she jumped up to eating 6 ounces every 3 hours. This lasted for a few days; she was downing about 35 ounces+ a day. Then she slowed down to 4-6 ounces every 3-4 hours. The doctor would still like her to eat less frequently with more at each feeding but what can you do?
