Last night...

... she slept for 6 and 1/2 hours straight! While I slept! We put her down at 7:30pm (she falls asleep on her own now!), she woke briefly when we came to bed, so I fed her and put her back down and she slept until 5am. That means I had uninterrupted sleep for over 6 hours. A first. I actually woke first and wondered if she was okay. Seriously folks. This methods works. If you've got a baby (older than 4months please) who's waking every hour for comfort, let the baby fall asleep on its own (when drowsy, with clean diaper, and full). The idea is that the baby knows where he has fallen asleep, so when he wakes up at the end of the sleep cycle he's not startled by no longer being at the breast (or wherever). So simple!
Had enough? Probably none of you even have young children. Oh well, I'm excited.
