STTN

This day seemed so far not so long ago... but SE is sleeping through the night now!  She was waking up twice every night for milk.  My problem is, it's hard for me to fall asleep once I'm awake. So I was pretty sleep-deprived!  I didn't dare take afternoon naps on weekends either for fear it'd be even harder to sleep that night.

My precious-es

And because she does STTN... I could stop breastfeeding. :)  I stopped pumping and it was just cold turkey. She didn't ask to nurse that day nor the few days after, and after that I just told her 'no milk'! With JE, I stopped pumping but continued direct nursing for another 2 months.

So now I can sleep through the night and don't have to go off twice a day to pump milk. Very soon I can stop making 2-3 rounds of baby food weekly too.  Wow I'd have so much time to myself! Heh heh.

  1. wow congrats!! what a milestone.. Lil Pumpkin took a very long time to sleep through the night and I really wondered if that day would actually come. Glad she does (mostly) now.. it really is such a wonderful feeling to get proper rest at night! :)

  2. Ai, yeah! Undisturbed sleep is something you appreciate only when you don't get it!
