Well, we are approaching one month and Sahana is doing well. Last night she slept from 11pm to almost 5 in the morning! There have been some frustrating changes, though -- she's been harder to put down to sleep at her naps and at night. I guess she's growing and starting to become aware of the fact that she exists, so despite our Gitmo tactics -- making her stay awake for designated stretches and giving her most of her feeds during the day (which Andy calls "bottleboarding") -- and her being super tired when it's time to nap, she fights it. Andy reminded me that we went through the same thing with Paras, and he ended up being a good sleeper, so I'm hoping that it will be the same with Sahana.
I think Andy mentioned on his blog that Sahana is impossible to burp. It is really annoying. She gets these huge air bubbles and then refuses to eat anymore, and then it can take up to 30 minutes to burp her. If we put her down without burping her, she'll either spit up or wake up early because she didn't get enough to eat. So middle of the night feedings can take up to an hour. One day I told Andy that the night before Sahana burped both during and after her feed within 2 minutes, which meant that I got to go back to sleep within half an hour. Andy's response was, "Yeah, sometimes you have those magical moments." It's really sad that "magical moments" with an infant consists of expelling gas. Sad, but true.
Here is the latest video of Sahana, doing her daily tummy time.
