Today we're giving a shout out to Chris, who is in Germany. And who also has the opportunity to get a full nights uninterrupted sleep. Just saying.

Yesterday I tried a new tactic in my Science Experiment titled "How to get your baby to sleep for longer than 2 hour stretches at night." I fed him an evening meal for the first time in the hopes that a full belly would encourage a longer night's sleep. Is it just me, or does it seem like Mr. Mischievious is laughing at my attempt?



Kid, follow Bailey's lead - take a snooze!

There was a positive beginning. I was able to put Max to bed succesfully with no crying, and was able to enjoy several non-whimpering hours before he remembered that his goal in life is to make sure that I never sleep for more than 3-4 hours per night. At 9:30 he got back in the game and woke up - and stayed awake until 12:30. Fun times. Then he took a "nap" and got back up at 2:30 and stayed awake until 4:00. Another quick nap until 6:00...and then up for the day.

Enter my new best friend:



I was delighted to discover that this little baby is 0 Weight Watchers points. I can, therefore, consume these to my heart's content....or until my heart actually explodes, whichever comes first. Don't think I won't. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Now, what will be unfortunate is if the massive dose of caffeine causes increased wakefulness in Max due to breastmilk consumption. Who am I kidding, he COULDN'T sleep any less than he does now...right??

RIGHT???



THIS JUST IN...I have discovered a clue that might indicate why Max doesn't need to sleep at night...he is obviously sneaking in naps when I'm not looking! I must be more vigilant!
