Mommy has decreed that our new bedtime is at 10:00pm. So we eat, burp and change our diaper around 9:30pm and then we get put in our bassinet. Where we get left there if we fuss, but picked up if we cry. But we don’t get rocked or played with, just picked up, maybe patted and put right back down. If we continue to cry, we get fed again and put back in our bassinet.

We started this new routine two days ago. Two nights ago we put her down at 10pm and she didn’t go to sleep until 1am(!) with me feeding her four(!) more times. It was very frustrating. Then last night it was a little better, but she didn’t sleep long and kept me up through the night. But tonight, she went down at 9:45pm and is still down at 1am! She fussed for a long while and finally nodded off. We watched a movie (the Queen) and relaxed. She’s so incredibly cute. I just want to wake her up and cuddle her. Bad mommy!

Hopefully the new bedtime will avoid the scenario below:

Hey mommy! I’m awake! Play with me! Watcha doin’? Sleeping??? I’m boooooooored. Hello!
