Night #3 = success again (but less sleep for me)

So just quickly - last night we stayed at my mom's house. Kind of a trial run for those times when I want a night out or a night off and I leave her there overnight.

She has her own room at my mom's, with a playyard for a bed - which she's never slept in before. I was worried it might screw things up with her sleeping in her own room/crib.

In actuality, she slept better than she ever has. Ever.

She fell asleep around 9pm and didn't wake up again until 8 hours later.

Oh yes, this would have been absolutely delightful - if I hadn't been up every hour after 1am checking on her to make sure she was still breathing.

Today, I am completely exhausted and feeling rotten.

So now that we're home again I ask (beg) Ruby for a repeat, and this time I plan on taking full advantage of it and sleeping through the night as well.

Thats so great! See Mommy knows what Ruby wants - she just needs to trust herself. I laughed at you getting up to check that she was breathing - that will so be me in 6 months!

Good luck at home!!! I hope she is a super-sleepyhead!

Hope she keeps up the good work! She sounds a lot like Baby M. I was worried about him sleeping through the night and we never had issues.

Funny--this is not the first time that I've heard tales about babies sleeping better than ever in a play yard...I might have to give it a try some night when I'm desperate!
