Sleeping Through The Night

Erik has experienced his first, "sleeping through the night" last night!! For the past two+ years, Erik had been waking up in the middle of the night at exactly the following intervals (11pm, 1am, 3am, 4am, 5am, 7am), give or take one interval, if lucky.

For those who are counting, yes, Erik wakes up 6 times in one night. Prior, he would always get nursed back to bed. However, since Daddy and Mummy (plus Grandma Katy) have braved the new frontier of "weaning" in hopes of discouraging Erik from waking up and accepting others as comfort besides Mummy's boobs.

So last night was an anomaly! Erik slept from 10:45pm to about 6:00am. He stirred but was quickly patted down back to sleep within meer minutes and didn't wake up until 7:30am! That was absolutely different than previously. Erik didn't even ask to nurse like the past few nights. So that in itself is a milestone for Erik! YAY!

Daddy thinks its because Erik went to sleep LATE, thus was just purely exhausted. Mummy hopes that it will be the start of a trend that will last! Keep your fingers crossed!
