Like Having a Newborn

So, Mia has stopped sleeping through the night. It seems that this always happens with infants after you come off of a big trip (This happened with Logan when he was about 2 months old). After adhering to her sleep pattern throughout the Cabo trip, Mia is now waking up at 1:00am the last 3 out of 4 nights and is wide awake. I just got back from holding her and getting her back to sleep. It only took 20 minutes to settle her back down. So, we'll see what happens. With Logan we did not know what we were doing so we completely accommodated whatever he wanted at 1:00am: feeding, holding, rocking. With #2 we want to show compassion and give some comfort, but know that if we make that a habit she will keep waking up for comfort, feeding, etc., and it will be habit.

Now that she is asleep for what is hopefully the rest of the night, I'd be wise to rest as well...so...here I go!
