More on sleep

A while ago I reported that Leilani had slept through the night. Unfortunately she did never repeat that, but she often sleeps for 5 hour stretches and sometimes slightly longer. Recently she started taking longer naps during the daytime, 1-2 hours, sometimes twice a day, and also started going to bed earlier around 9pm.

Since she never poops during the night, and pees very little, I never put her on the potty or change a diaper, from the time she goes to bed, until she gets up, so usually she never really wakes up. She eats in a half awake state, her eyes are closed, and even when the nightlight is on, if she looses contact she roots like a newborn to find the nipple again. Twice so far though, today at 5:30am and 2 weeks ago around 3 am she woke up, and wanted to get up. In order to wake us up now, she mostly touches our faces, and when we open our eyes she gives us a big toothless grin (note: in order to see that it must be light).

Anyway, she woke me up last night, and it was pitchblack outside. I tried to feed her, but she wasn’t not hungry. She started babbling, and playing with the pillow. I told her – whispering – that the night is for sleeping, and that she must not make sounds, and did not switch on the light. Both times I went back to sleep before she did, while she was playing quietly. The first time she must have fallen back asleep, and slept until morning, but today she played quietly until it got light and woke me up again.
