No More Night Feeds...(for now...)

Since my last post Adrian and I have tackled the sleep issues and finally she is going through from 10pm without feeding! Adrian has been off work with a bad knee (hurt playing cricket - Freyja loves his crutches!) so it was a good time to sort it out. The first few nights we agreed a time that I would feed her and any wake-ups before that, Adrian would deal with. It took a lot of crying and a lot of getting up, but even on the first night it was obvious that it wasn't actually hunger - when I finally went to her she hardly fed at all, just suckled, so I put the dummy in and she went to sleep until the morning. The same thing happened on the next 2 nights then on Sunday night, she woke at 12am and 3am, both of which Adrian handled and I haven't been in since! Right now, she is needing settling once, at around midnight, but other than that is sleeping with only a few grunts and whimpers, which haven't needed dealing with. I feel totally shattered - I think my body is just not used to getting this much sleep!

I just hope I haven't jinxed it by writing this.
