What a Difference a Month Makes

I was reading back through my blog entries from May today and realized that I hadn't bothered to update anyone on Konrad's sleeping habits. I know, how could I neglect to inform you of such vital information, right? Well, actually it is pretty big news that I feel we really ought to share.

In an earlier post I mentioned we were excited because he slept for 3 hours and 45 minutes straight. Since that post we have been continually improving our numbers. Last night Konrad went to sleep around 8:30 pm, waking for a brief feeding around 10 pm and was back in bed by 10:30 pm. We didn't hear from him again until 4:30 am this morning when I again fed him. Afterwards, with a little coaxing, we got him to settle down (admittedly in our bed) until 8 am. So, in less than a month we went from less than 4 hour stretches to 6 hour stretches and nearly 12 hours total in a night. Amazing! The best part? We never needed to use the "cry it out" approach. Mother nature and our little boy did it all on their own.
