I’ve fantasized about the day that I would finally get to post here … & here I am- finally!

I hope I’m not jinxing myself, BUT Evan has been sleeping WONDERFULLY the past 2-3 days.

For nighttime he went from waking 3-5x/night (& even many nights ending up in our bed or the swing b/c he would never settle in the crib) to waking ONE time! He’s been going 7:30pm-2am & 2-7am.

For naps he was only napping for 20-40min stretches. Now he’s been taking 1.5-2.5hr naps!!!!!

I am so excited & happy. He seems more rested finally & I oboviously am too!

Now I’m scared to death to do any food trials (w/ TED) b/c I don’t want to rock the boat… I think I’m sticking w/ mild things like fruits & veggies.

We had like 7-8 days in a row of baseline diapers. Since I knew he was physically feeling okay I let him fuss a bit when he woke up @ 11:30pm (he usually woke like clockwork b/w 11-11:30pm). Dh & I had decided we would let him fuss for up to 20min. He cried for 3min then went back to sleep. Next night he didn’t wake @ that time… & then the rest just fell into place. For naps I did the same thing… let him fuss a bit when he woke after 45min & he went back to sleep. Then, the next nap he didn’t bother to wake.

I’m very pro-CIO when it’s appropriate (although I wouldn’t even call this CIO since it was really mostly just fussing). I would never have done this though had he not been feeling so well w/ good diapers.

He also started sucking his thumb (finally!). My 2yo also started sleeping beautifully when he started sucking his thumb too.

Yea, Erin and Evan!!!! I’m so glad to read your good news! Sounds like he is not in any pain anymore — sleeping past the 45 minute mark was always how I could tell our boys’ reflux/tummy pain was really under control 🙂

I just have to update again b/c I am just so floored…

Last night Evan slept for 10 straight hours (7:15pm-5:15am). A week ago he wasn’t even going 3!

Yay Erin!! What wonderful news. There is truly nothing in the whole wide world like a good nights sleep. I haven’t been keeping up, but what was the change? or was it that things finally came together? I sincerely hope things continue. Hugs!
