The boy is sleeping through the night or what I have learned from baby number 2

Isn't that exciting??  Praise the Lord! Since he turned 12 weeks old, sweet Moses has been sleeping through the night like a champion so almost a whole week now and golly gee is it ever wonderful to get 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep.  Miracle!  How is this done, you ask?  Well I learned a lot with Lizzie but I was so new at it and I've gotten a bit better with Moses but as life goes, I'll forget if I don't put it down here, sooooo, future Nelda this is for you.

What I have learned about sleep and babies from baby #2:

• None of your babies will probably sleep through the night before about 12 weeks
• You start to see the silver lining though after the 9 week wall (yep I hit that wall again with Moses but it wasn't as bad this time around because I knew it would get better)
• The 45 minute intruder?  I'm still working on that but also that is better because of the best piece of advice I can give which is this LET YOUR BABY WORK IT OUT AS MUCH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!
• I guarantee you the more you let your baby work things out on his own (limited crying method) the more he will put himself back to sleep.  It works about 80% of the time with Moses.
• Dreamfeed, dreamfeed, dreamfeed.  Paul does it for me, bless his heart.
• Re-read the book The Baby Sleep Solution by Suzy Giordano, best book ever!  Simple, fast, and it works.
• Moses only lasts an hour awake.  Still not sure what to do about that.
• DO NOT OVERSTIMULATE BEFORE 3 MONTHS
• Hold him even when he is not crying so he doesn't turn all Pavlovian on you, capiche?
• Baby whisperer book is good too, but don't let her confuse you too much.  
• Two months really is when babies can self-soothe
• Um, I can't remember what else.
