Baby learned to sleep through the night
Good morning!
I've been up since 5.50 am, thanks to the fact our baby/little toddler finally learned to sleep in his own bed (yay!) so I sleep really well now, too. No more tossing and turning in the night and wake up super tired in the morning. This is awesome!
A little over a year ago I posted a blog about our older child and how he didn't sleep that well so we had to go through a sleeping school. Well, that worked for some time (he was 11 months when we went to sleeping school) but he went back to his old, bad habits of not sleeping at night when he was around 1,5-2 year old. So that's why I was a bit worried of how I'd cope with it with a new baby but it turned out babies can be totally different. Our little guy, aka baby, learned to sleep in his own bed, from 9pm-6am in just 3 nights!! I'm still a bit surprised, in a good way of course, that how easily that transformation from sleeping in our bed to sleeping through the night in his own bed went.
I think he learned so easily because our daily routine is pretty much the same everyday:
1. we wake up at 7 am, eat breakfast and take big brother to day care at 8 am.
2. come back home and play until 9.30-10 am.
3. eat lunch at around 10-11.
4. naptime at 11.30-2pm (he sleeps usually 2-3 hours)
5. snacktime when he wakes up, usually at 2pm
6. pick up big brother at day care at 2.30pm and play there for a while with big kids :)
7. go to park or come home and play until 4.30pm
8. eat dinner at 5pm
9. play time, tubtime
10. eat snack before bedtime at around 7-7.30 pm
11. playtime, reading books, brushing teeth
12. bedtime at 9pm.
13. QUIETTIME IN THE HOUSE at 21.30pm :)
That's it. Our days really go by like this, with this routine and it seems to help both kids sleep trough the night.
Ok, time for another cup of coffee in a very quiet house. Yes, they're all still sleeping and it's almost 8am - they tend to sleep in during the weekends which is totally fine with me ;)
Enjoy your weekend!
