Sleeping times

Of late, Cheryl has developed this rather bad habit. She used to be able to take naps at a stretch of 2 hours or at least 1.5 hours.

There were times when she would wake up after 1 hour, but usually putting her back to bed was effortless as long as we could pat her quickly enough.

But recently, she seems to not be able to sleep as soundly. Even the slightest noise like the telephone or the door bell will wake her and no amount of patting will do after. Sometimes, only sometimes, carrying her may help.

This is not very good because then usually by 7.30 pm, she will be fussing and wants to go to bed. And if she sleeps so early, she will wake up for her night feeds more often. Now, she will wake up at 11 pm, 2 am and 5 am. Just a week ago, she would wake up only twice; at 1 am and 4 am.
