bribery - it works every time.
J went to bed at 7:30 last night. Normal bedtime is 8. Hubby and I did the normal nighttime routine - plugged in the vicks nightlight (they ROCK!), turned on the cool mist humidifier, turned the radio to static, kissed J goodnight and wished her sweet dreams. Before hubby laid her down he whispered to her, "Sleep until 6 and you can have what ever you want."She woke up at 4 AM. Close. Better than what we have gone through this week. J nursed and when back to bed.
I woke her up at 6:30 AM. She slept through my alarm in the next room buzzing for an hour.
She can sleep when she wants to and the bribe will now be a part of the nightly routine.

Will try the bribe tonight with AC. She woke up THREE times last night (her new record). It was actually a good thing (well, an OKAY thing) because I was engorged when I got into bed. I nursed her all three times, but still succeeded in leaking all over the d&*^(m place. You'd think I'd be growing out of that by now...
Oh, ML. It is so good to know that there are "others" out there that have babies that get up - a lot. Huh about the leaking. I would have guessed that your body regulated all that by now.
Ohost was my word. Isn't that what you call out when you are out of wine at a dinner party?
