We have been putting Tevye down in his crib at night. Usually between 8:30 and 9:00 at night he falls asleep after being fed and I try to put him in his crib – most of the time he settles in, sometimes he doesn’t and we have to start the whole process over.
Usually he wakes up sometime between 11:30 and 2 in the morning. Sometimes a little earlier. Sometimes a little later. He isn’t sleeping through the night yet, but he is beginning to sleep more…. regularly I guess is the right word.
Last night I put him down somewhere around 8:30. Laura and I then watched a couple of shows on television and went to bed, knowing it wouldn’t be too long before Tevye would wake up and need to be fed again. But it didn’t happen right away. He didn’t wake up until 4:30 in the morning.
Now, I know that was an anomaly. I know this isn’t going to be a trend, at least not yet. But let’s face it, at six months you take every little victory you can get.
ADDENDUM
The following night he was up at 11, and 1, and 2, then from 3 until about 5. Then up again at 5:30. So, you know, it all balances out.
