Sleep update

Last night was the best night we've had with Reid to date.

After his 6 month appointment yesterday, I told Christian we were instituting tough love with Reid and that the "factory" was closed prior to midnight.  I feel confident that Reid shouldn't be eating prior to midnight, and really should only need to eat 1 time over the night, so I figure we'll start with the first awakening and go from there.  Well, he cried out at midnight on the dot, not 12:01 or 12:02...coincidence?? :)  The great thing is that he only cried for a minute or two and then slept until 4:45 am!!  By far the best he's done.

We put Reid in socks and also picked up a heater to help keep his room from getting too cold, since a couple nights ago I realized he was freezing when I went to him.  Maybe that was what has been bothering him all along?  We'll see what happens tonight in that department, but I would love it if it was the fix and didn't require any tough love from us :)

Praying we have this figured out soon so that better sleep can begin happening for the whole Lauffer family!
