Milo seems fussed today; she has developed a habit of not waking calmly anymore. Instead, she wakes up super fussy and it takes a few minutes of cuddling/walking/holding to get her to calm down. I hope this is a short-lived phase.
Today, Michelle dropped off some lavender oil that I can use to help Milo sleep at night. I read that if you use it in a carrier oil and massage babies’ feet with it, it should help them sleep longer and more soundly. It’s also good in an essential oil diffuser, which I ordered today. I also ordered an essential oil book to read up on how to use it on baby’s skin, so I won’t be trying it in the massage oil just yet. But hopefully next week I’ll be able to diffuse some oil for Milo’s nighttime routine.
It was difficult to get our girl to sleep tonight. She kept waking and needing to be bounced back to sleep. Eventually, we just put her in the bed with us instead of the crib.
Milo still seems a little bit sick, though it’s hard to tell how sick she is; it’s probably only a drainage issue - it seems like it’s difficult for her to get the snot/mucus out. I’ve heard a little bit of coughing today followed by swallowing, so it seems like she is doing a good job of breaking up the nasty stuff. Hopefully this will work itself out soon, since I can’t give her anything to help.
I bought Adele’s new album. It’s divine.
