A slightly better night . . .

Katie slept very well until about 4:00 in the morning. She was very good about it though . . . she was wide awake when I went in and gave her a pacifier. I put some music on for her very low and she put herself back to sleep, or so I thought . . . She actually spent the next hour dozing (I know, cause I was up every 15 minutes making her happy). When she finally had enough aroung 5:00 I decided to try some food. I really didn't want to because I thought maybe she would start waking up for a snack all the time, but if the girl is hungry, I don't want to make her suffer! So . . . 6 oz of formula later, she was sound asleep again.

I'm not sure why she suddenly needs food in the middle of the night again . . . Maybe I need to be doing more solid foods during the day than I am . . . I will experiment and see what works for my growing baby!

I've read that giving some fruit or cereal or high protein food right before bed might help too. But a thick bottle in the middle of the night might work as well! Don't feel bad about it. It'll all work out in the end.
