Restless

Last night, we had our first truly difficult night with Milo. All day yesterday she wanted to be awake, and not fun-awake, either. She was fussy and difficult to please except by feeding her. She seemed to be hungry every waking moment of the day, so I fed her a lot because we’re doing on-demand feeding right now. So, because she was so restless during the day, she was pretty restless at night, too. She slept for maybe 60-minutes, then we’d feed, swaddle, and rock and shush her back to some tenuous form of sleep. Somewhere around 60 minutes later we’d repeat the process. All night. This morning, we managed to get her to sleep at around 9:30am, and she slept until about noon. Today we’re going to try our best to get her to sleep much of the day so that she can have a more restful night. I’m crossing my fingers.
