Sleep training

"I am a bear!"


Ali is sleeping quite well at night. Most of time, she will be able to fall asleep on her own. She usually needs one feeding at around 4 or 5 in the morning. On a very good day, she can even sleep until 6 or 7. Daytime naps are a different story tho. She used to be able to sleep on her own and wanted to be held once in a while. However, ever since the roofing reno started, she had a very hard time falling asleep in the day. She can sleep through pretty much everything when she is held, but not so much if she is on her own.

"Yo, I am a gangster!"


We have been planning to teach her to take naps after our Portland trip, but too much happened during this time and we are postponing the start date until the grandmas are out of the house. Ali's grandmothers tend to agree that it is important to teach babies to sleep on their own and we should let them cry it out. But it is a totally different story when they are around. Both grandmothers started to tear up when Ali started crying. And at the end, they had to pick her up and hold her in their arms. One grandma even suggested that she would do all the household chores and let mommy take care of the baby from now on. Boy, oh boy!

"Wassup! You wanna hang out? Let's chill."
