Sleeping in her cot!

Freya slept in the cot for the first time last week On her 2 month birthday, lol! She'd never even led in it before as, since I put it up before she was born, it's been where I've stored all the clean laundry that's waiting to be ironed/put away!!

I'd had a big tidy up in the bedroom that day and was so fed up of not having any space my side of the bed (I have the cot and the Moses basket between me and the wall!) that I ironed and put away all those clothes, moved the basket into the living room for daytime naps and made the cot up for the girly!

She actually went to sleep in her basket in the living room with us at 9pm but when I went to bed a few hours later I transferred her into the cot. She was fine. Slept as well as usual and didn't protest about being put somewhere strange after her 5am feed. It's a bit sad as she's still so diddy!

We've had no problem at all since then either. Freya's a star at bedtimes, she really is. Has her last feed at around 8pm, gets put into the cot where she settles herself to sleep by 9pm and then sleeps right through without a peep until 5am when she feeds and goes back to sleep for another couple of hours.

Last night she slept right through. What I consider right through anyway! To me, any time before 6am is the middle of the night!! 6am is the earliest I'd dare to call morning, lol and 6am is when Freya woke up this morning! I've been really awful at getting to bed myself recently (am often up until 1am finishing my jobs and fiddling about on the computer!) Last night I got to bed at 11pm and it was sooo lovely to have a solid 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep!


(P.S - for those of you who haven't heard the name Freya before it's pronounced Fray-ya as opposed to Free-ya!! Thanks 'Canada Jen' for pointing out it's not a common name that side of the pond!)
