Sleep

Little Bird slept from 9:30pm until 5:20am last night. I am amazed at how much easier it is to cope emotionally with a newborn that sleeps. I really struggled with Bear in the early days. Weeks. Months. He was a terrible sleeper. Still is. He is good at staying in his bed, and goes to bed calm and happy, but he still wakes several times a night, and takes a long time to go to sleep. He just doesn't seem to need it. Bird on the other hand, seems to love his sleep. He sleeps in lovely long blocks, which means he is subsequently nice and hungry, so feeds well too. Which I think helps develop a positive cycle.
