You may remember me mentioning that we had to up Xavier's meals to 6 ounces a few weeks ago. Well, as soon as we did this, he began sleeping for extended periods of time throughout the night. By extended, I mean 8-9-10-even 11 hours!
The first few nights were stressful. I didn't know if sleeping this long was normal this early and I actually got less sleep than if he had been up all night. After extensive research, however, I realized that he is just a REALLY good baby and he is starting to sleep all night!
On average, he eats around 6PM, goes to sleep around 8pm and wakes up at 4AM. We get up pretty early so this 4AM feeding doesn't really bother us. We have talked about trying to keep him up later and hold him off foodwise for a little longer but it boils down to us catering to his needs, not our own :)
Regardless of his schedule, he is a wonderful baby and we are so blessed to have him. He brings so much joy to our lives!
