Tylenol commentary and Weekly Sleep Log

don't let this grin fool you! ;-)

Someone found my blog by googling, "sleep log," so I thought I'd share G's sleep log for the week. Teething has re-entered our lives in full force, after a few days off. I guess some babies aren't bothered by teething...my daughter is not one of them. She has two bottom teeth and I guess the top two are working their way down. My commentary on Tylenol is at the end of the log.

This night (Sunday night into Monday, which will appear on next week's sleep log) we gave her Tylenol at bedtime as per my mom's advice to see if it helped G avoid the early night waking (ENW). Instead of the ENW we had the past 2 nights, she slept until almost 5 am... I don't like the idea of giving G Tylenol all the time, but her sleep was on a bbbaaadd downward spiral, and my husband and I were walking zombies too. Nothing worked at her night wakings, nursing would only buy us an hour or two, and she was not hungry at all. And that's just as bad of a habit as medicineevery night and wanting her (and us!) to get sleep.
