First of all I’m aware of how VERY lucky I am and am by no means complaining!
My nearly 7 week old baby has been an amazing sleeper and for a few weeks now has been sleeping 7 hour stretches at night, usually around 12/1 until 7/8am, this is obviously wonderful and I’m eternally grateful! However, up until I put her down for bed my evenings are spent holding her while she dozes and feeds or letting her have awake time on her gym etc. I do put her down to sleep around 7 or 8pm, but she treats this like a nap and is wide awake and ready to come downstairs after 45-60mins, so I effectively don’t get any spare time in an evening (I’m putting my older son to bed in the time she briefly naps), which is getting a little tedious.
So, while I don’t want to rock the sleep boat too much when she’s doing so well, I would like to get her in her room for a 12 hour stretch of sleeping and only waking for feeds like I did with my son. Any suggestions? With my son we just fell in to a rhythm and while he woke every few hours, he would tend to go straight back to sleep.
