The one question we get asked often is how Alli is sleeping at night. I have to say, she's been a really great baby at night. It's like she knows that it's nighttime and nothing is going on, so even if she is awake, she's pretty quiet and eventually falls asleep on her own. The daytime is a different story as she wants to be part of the action - even if she's sleeping through it.
Lately, our nighttime routine has changed. She has started going longer and longer between feedings. Currently, we only have one middle-of-the-night feeding, instead of two. While that seems great, my body hasn't quite adjusted, so I'm still up a bit pumping to relieve myself. But her "trend" for feeding/sleeping is to eat anywhere from 7-9pm, then sleep til 1-3am, and then she usually gets up around 6am. She cluster feeds in the morning instead of the night before, so we usually feed at 6, and 8, and sometimes at 10, but once in a while she'll go to the 3 hours after the first two feedings.
I've read (most of) Babywise, and I can tell you - I didn't do anything to try to get her on a schedule. This baby came pre-programmed, and I'm quite happy about that. She's like Bagheera - he came basically potty trained at 8 weeks when we got him and that made things SOOO easy on us! Way to go, to both our kids!!! :)
