Ellie's sleep patterns seemed to take a spiral downward lately. Last Thursday night she woke up six times. She nursed three of those times and needed to be rocked back to sleep the other three. Needless to say, I spent Friday working on a solution.
We have changed Ellie's bedtime routine to include a bath, new diaper, massage, pj's, nurse, in bed. She did great the first night, then the second night she fussed because she recognized the pattern and didn't want to sleep. Last night she didn't fuss at all and went right to sleep. The new routine has her only waking up twice, both times to nurse. This is a great improvement; but I would still like to get back to one wake-up!
