New night time routine
We'll after much talk and huff and puff, I finally bit the bullet and night weaned Sofia. I used Dr. Jay Gordon's method which worked rather well for Sofia. I think she was just ready. She stopped wanting to nurse without much fuss. Only two nights did she cry for more then 30 minutes total. I was really surprised. Last night we took another step and moved her into her own bed. Albeit it's right next to my side of the bed so I can pat her back if she wakes up. But last night was a dream as she only woke up twice and was easily soothed back to sleep. What prompted us to move her out was the fact that we couldn't roll over anymore without waking her up because she is a light sleeper. She is currently napping in her bed!
She naps one hour totally undisturbed. I think the pillow also helps a lot. She seems much more comfortable with a pillow. Who wouldn't be...
Now the only problem is I am having spurts of insomnia because I'm not night nursing anymore. That relaxation hormone is gone, so falling asleep is a bit harder these days. Although I miss her little arms strewn across my back or face, I really love having so much space to spread out!
