...but Whitney slept ALL night last night without needing a binky! She did still wake up at 5 a.m., but that was because the last time I fed her was between 5-5:30 p.m. the evening before. Yesterday, she sucked on her fingers twice, instead of a binky, when I was putting her to sleep. Knowing this, I decided that swaddling her so she couldn't reach her arms was probably a bad thing. So, now I swaddle her bottom 1/2 and leave her arms free when she's sleeping. As I'm typing this, I'm thinking, "Duh, Amanda! In every ultrasound I had, her hands were by her mouth--of course she finds that comforting."
The other wonderful part of this is that all day today, I have put her in bed awake and she has gone to sleep on her own. I cannot even explain how wonderful that is for me! It's like the fact that she's supposed to be sleeping at certain times is finally clicking for her. Woo-hoo!!
