Last night was the first night Owen and I slept in separate rooms since the hospital. There was some separation anxiety on my part but it went quite well. He was inconsolable from about 8-11 and then finally fell asleep in his seat. He still woke up every 1.5 - 2 hours during the night but went back down as soon as he finished nursing. Although I would love a longer stretch of sleep I'll happily take not struggling to get him back to sleep outside of my arms. We'll see how tonight goes though. He was crying again and then I gave him a bath which he loved this time. Sometimes he likes them and sometimes he screams the whole time so I had no idea if it would chill him out or make things worse tonight. I kept him in the tub until he started crying which was maybe 15-20 minutes. He screamed for a while but then calmed down and fell asleep. Right now he's sleeping in his seat and we'll see how long he goes before needing to eat. I found a recording of a blow dryer and that seems to be doing the trick. Thank you white noise!
Sounds like he's waking up. I guess it's been 2 hours since he last ate so time go!
Sounds like you have a good plan going there. Praying it will just keep getting better.
