Cry it out no more!

It's now the morning after our 3rd night of "cry it out" sessions and man am I glad we did that!  Last night she didn't cry much at all (maybe 2 short screams really), played for a bit, then went to sleep without any trouble.  

AND

She slept for 9 hours straight!  That's SLEPT for 9 hours--not just 9 hours between feedings.  I got to stay up an hour after and still get 8 straight hours of sleep.  It was incredible.  She was up at about 5:45 am, but I was okay with that because I felt so rested.  Plus, that's when we'll need her up for work Monday.  O frabjous day!  Callooh Callay!

We got up and ate, and I was still able to pump out an extra 3 oz!!!  YAYYYY!!!  It just keeps getting better!  

I would have had more than that because I've been using a milk saver while feeding her, but I spilled probably a full oz out of it when I leaned over to put her down.  Idiot!  So mad at myself.  I could have used that, big time.  We've been feeding her on her normal schedule, then after her bath we give her another 2.5 oz of morning milk (I think it may be thicker) and then reading and going to bed, so that's why she's able to go so long (I think).  I need all the milk I can get!

Still: Great Success!

She's already napping again--poor girl is still tired.  She didn't play very long at all.  I doubt she'll nap for long, so I'd better go do my morning things.

  1. WOOHOO!! Glad it's been going well!

    And whoever said there was no use crying over spilled milk must never have worked so hard to MAKE that milk before spilling or he'd have been crying too!
