Did her four hour sleep-a-thons follow big food intakes at all?
No, not particularly... I had hoped that when she was on solids she'd sleep better, but she eats like a horse (well, a small pony) and it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
I do keep trying to identify patterns, to the point of getting almost superstitious about anything that might have seemed to work, but there really doesn't seem to be any strong correlation between anything and sleeping-better. :-(
On the other hand is actually getting much easier to get to sleep (and get back to sleep), it's just staying asleep for longer-than-2-hour stretches that's the problem. And even the frequent-waking-for-very-short-times wouldn't be so much of a problem if it wasn't for the fact that I find it hard to get back to sleep once woken up - eg last night she slept for 4 hours, went back to sleep after a 10 min feed, but then I lay awake & just Could Not Get Back To Sleep for 2 hours. :(
baby and mama badgers snuffling at each other.
*snuffle* :) :)
Imitating these noises can be v soothing to small human persons IME.
Hee hee! Actually I did used to purr at her when she was very tiny & that seemed to comfort her sometimes. Will try badger noises. :)
Sleep, and badgers
