Does 5am count as a night feeding? Anyways. We have a love hate relationship with the pacifier. Sometimes she can keep it in and it's good. Other times it's constantly falling out or she's taking it out and can't put it back. Periodically I put a ban on them out of frustration but I always come back...Mama Violethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08948308753068325315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020523209903869002.post-64079906308962200882011-02-28T10:44:58.891-05:002011-02-28T10:44:58.891-05:00From my own experience and that of my mama friends...From my own experience and that of my mama friends ... breastfed babies take longer to sleep through the night than bottle fed babies. Probably because formula is more filling and you can track how much baby is eating. Because Gavin is bottle fed, he's been sleeping through the night since a little after he turned 3 months. <br><br>That said, starting way before Gavin was sleeping through the night, my husband had to hold me back from checking out baby at every noise or movement. I was always so scared (and still am) of SIDS, so every little movement, I'd check to make sure Gavin was OK. I do believe I bothered him more times than helped him ... it took time, and I always check on him to alleviate my own worries, but I don't pick him up unless he's wailing. <br><br>Also, our pediatrician said most parents believe just because a baby gets fussy, it means they're hungry. He said to check on a number of things (sleep position, body heat, etc.) before assuming baby is hungry. For us, sometimes just giving Gavin a pacifier soothes him enough that he'll go back to sleep.<br><br>Parenting babies - it's a trial and error process. Hopefully you'll continue to figure out what your Little Miss needs.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.com
