Part 2....We are making HUGE progress!

This is the homestretch of the night weaning adventure.....

Night 7 (Monday, February 23)
Tonight went actually quite well.  The lil' Miss went to bed and nursed.  She awoke around 3ish and wanted to nurse.  I told her that we could not and that we had to wait till the morning.  She only whined a small bit and fell back asleep.  She did awake around 5:40am and this was before the 6:00 time I had originally set.  I told her "No" again and that we had to wait till the sun shines.  She definitely threw a little fit that was lasting around 15-20 minutes and I began to give up and give in.  I told her "OK, you can have milk." She began to turn her back towards my chest and ended up falling asleep. So in the end, I honestly did not give her milk during the set time frame.

Night 8 (Tuesday, February 24)
Can we say a WINNING night it was!!!!  
This girl went to bed (side note we have stayed up later with our snow days and delayed days) at 10:00pm and honestly did not awake again till 5:15am.  I could not believe it!  I typically awake around 2ish and it takes me about an hour  to fall back asleep.  I was amazed that she did not awake during this time.  I watched her sweet face, asleep in a deep state.  Around 5:15ish she awoke and asked for "milk."  I began to think, she had slept the seven hours I wanted, so what the heck.  I nursed and she fell back asleep within a few minutes.  She proceeded to sleep till after 8am.  It amazes me how her body is learning to sleep on her own and without "crying it out" or the need for "milkies" every time she awakes.  I am excited for what is to come in the next few days of this adventure we have embarked on.

Part 3 to come!
