Now we just need his Merlin sleep suit to get here so we can lose the dang swaddle. Or as I'm sure Luke would refer to them- miniature straight jackets. My god, how he hates those things.
Every day gets better and better!

9 weeks old
Last night we switched from the Rock n Play to the bassinet. He wasn't attached to it like Piper was, and he wasn't sleeping great anyway, so why not make the transition to flat sleeping like the rest of us. He went down like a ton of bricks at 11...for 30 minutes. At 11:30, he chugged 3oz and wouldn't fall back to sleep until after 12. Then he woke up at 4 and 7am. And he's still sleeping (it's after 8). So there you have it...crappy sleep, but transition complete.

7.5 weeks old!
Updates on Luke:
He's almost 8 weeks old!!!
Jan 7th-10th- he slept through the nights! In a major way! 11pm-6:30/7am. And half the time, I had to wake him up to be fed.
Last night, he woke up once around 3am. Which is still obviously totally fine because up until this point, he's been pretty unpredictable and torturous....wanting to go to bed at 12,1, or 2am. He's becoming such a little sleep rockstar.
Here's what we did to achieve the 11pm sleep time:
Between 7-9, get him to nap. This is always almost impossible, so it means wearing the ergo carrier and forcing it.
At 9pm, take him out and feed him 4 oz of formula. He is breastfed, but he snacks on me and is terrible with big meals, so this is my way of knowing that he is getting a good filling meal.
After food, it's playtime.
At 10:30, bath!
11pm - Swaddle, breastmilk and bed. Some nights he goes to bed awake, drowsy or completely passed out from boob.
Let's hope it keeps working!
Xoxo
