My mom came to visit during her spring break to help me get Zuma to sleep longer periods of time at night. Zuma was waking up every 2 hours until he was 5 months old, but I just didn't have the energy and I was just to tired to try and wean him of his night time feedings by myself, so I had my mom come out and help me by getting up with Zuma at night, it worked wonders! he now only wakes up once or twice. We love our abelits, she seriously changed our lives, I couldn't have done it without her. I was so beat down that if Zuma cried I would just sleep with him and stick a boob in his mouth, so he just ended up snacking all night. I wouldn't change that I slept with him though, it was great and it helped both of us bond to each other, and it was survival because I couldn't get up anymore to feed him because I was so tired! but the time came where it just wasn't working anymore. If Zuma knows we are in the room, he wants to play with us, and every noise Zuma would make, I would wake up to it...it just stopped working to sleep with him, now he sleeps in his crib in the other room with a cd that plays sounds of the heart beat and rain etc. It is working well for now, but I can't wait for him to be sleeping completely through the night, but let's be honest.. I love getting to hold and nurse him in the middle of the night even though I am SO tired. I just miss him and love being with the little guy.
