William's sleeping since my 'cry cry cry' post has been up and down. Shortly after the post I began weaning him to the bottle. When he finally realized that the bottle would actually give him milk whereas momma couldn't anymore- he took right to it. Quickly thereafter sleeping improved- getting up 2-3 times a night with the first stretch up to 5-7 hours. Then. Things went downhill. My sweet little darling began cutting molars! I wasn't expecting those until the rest of his top/bottom front teeth came in! Then he began cutting two more top teeth. So fun.
Regardless of all the new teeth, congestion, and fevers (that come with teeth) last night Monster slept from 7pm-5am! Granted, it would have been great if he'd have pushed back that wake up time an hour, but still! What a miracle. Did I sleep that whole time? No way. If William keeps this up then mommy will get to work on some sleep training of her own. I still haven't had the guts to let him 'cry it out', but I always held onto my (maybe overly optimistic, but seemingly realized) belief that he'd get there on his own. I just am hoping that last night wasn't a fluke!

Congratulations!! I hope he keeps it up! Good luck tonight!
Maybe he was hungry? Anna kinda did the same thing...started having night wakings until I switched her to the bottle exclusively. It just got to the point where nursing wasn't enough for her.
That is awesome! I hope he will do it again. Oh enjoy more sleep for a little while!! :-)
Oh yay! Good luck keeping it up. Oh it's so hard when they get sick!
That's great news!! I hope he keeps sleeping for you. O was up 5 times last night, she's getting her incisors and her ears hurt. Poor kid. At least they should be in by the time they get to see each other in May.

Hey there, taking at peek at your blog!
I remember those days, I used to celebrate if I got one full night of sleep in a week. You're doing great, this will be a nice break before the little one comes along! good luck!
Molars? YUK! Good luck and YAY for longer sleeping! He'll get the hang of sleeping after the trauma of teething is over. I have faith!
