Layna's Schedule Changing

Layna has been sleeping wonderfully through the nights and now Mommy and Daddy can finally get a decent night's sleep. Even though Layna still only falls asleep when moving - particularly when Daddy is walking around with her - she stays asleep when she is put down on her side in her crib. She looks so much more comfortable on her side. However, in the morning Mommy and Daddy can find Layna either on her belly playing, down at one of the ends of the crib, on her back but flipped around (her head where her feet were). She still is oh-so smiley in the morning when Mommy and Daddy get her from the crib and it is the best thing to see in the morning - your baby happy ... happy to see her Mommy and Daddy.

Layna's is finally falling on a schedule as long as it doesn't get disturbed. She will wake up around 5 for a feeding and go back to sleep for a few more hours. Eats again around 8-9 and by 11 is down for her "morning" nap, which can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Then it is play time and time to eat again and do whatever for the day. Mommy and Daddy try to get Layna to nap by 3 at the latest because she usually gets a quick cat nap in around 6 before it is time to take a bath and get ready for bed. Layna is usually asleep around 9.

Layna's eating schedule is about to change and not because she will be starting solids. Four ounces every 3 hours is finally not enough for Layna. Mommy is going to start giving her 5 ounces every 4 hours and hopefully in a couple of weeks Layna will be having 5-6 ounces every 4-5 hours. Adding the solid food will probably also help with filling up Layna's little belly.
