Thanks to those of you who responded here or on Facebook about the eating/sleeping issue. It has evened out in the last week. Thankfully, Avonlea has spaced out her eating more as a result. Yay! Mommy can get more done! Her sleeping hasn't returned to normal yet. She's only going about 3-4 hours a stretch at night. And today, she didn't nap at all. Hopefully that will get better.
I now have a new question: Were any of your babies swaddlers? I have been swaddling Avonlea since she was 2 weeks old, which has been a life-saver for bedtime and naps. It's kind of funny--as soon as you "unlock" her arms, she wakes right up.
BUT--how do I transition her out of swaddling? I read online to swaddle her leaving one arm out, but that hasn't seemed to help. I also bought a different swaddle than the Swaddle Me, called the Woombie, which allows for a little more motion within the swaddle position, but she seems to wake up more and then gets really frustrated.
*sigh* How did you swaddle mamas get your kiddos out of a swaddle?
