Easy come, easy go.
Remember when I talked about how great Falco had been sleeping lately? Well, that comes and goes, at least in the nap department. He’ll have a couple of days where he goes to sleep for naps with no problem and sleeps for an hour and a half or so for each nap. Then, there are days like today when he sleeps maybe a total of an hour and a half all day long, and yet he acts tired and cranky all day because he hasn’t gotten enough rest. Those days are frustrating, let me tell you. I have heard and read that daytime sleep gets a lot better for babies at five or six months, so I hope that will hold true for us.
As for nighttime sleep, he still does pretty well, but sleeping through the night was a one-time thing. He needs to eat once per night and sometimes he needs his pacifier once or twice in addition to that feeding. He does a very good job with the bedtime routine though, and I really think we have it pretty good at night even though he’s not sleeping straight through. Going to bed at night and sleeping until morning is a distant memory for me, but I’m sure it will happen again someday.
