7.5 weeks old!

So, apparently having two kids is really time consuming. I don't know how the true bloggers do it. 

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!
