Oh my goodness gracious me! Ol’ mummy learned something today. Oh yes she did. She learned that contrary to popular belief, her baby is not the most perfect baby on the block.
What?!
I know, but it’s true.
Little Anna, three doors down, who was born just a few days prior to August is sleeping through the night on her very own. Not even pseudo-sleeping through the night, like, midnight to 5 a.m., but the whole nine yards: 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. Scrap nine yards, that’s practically 12 yards.
I used to think my little August was perfect because he generally wakes up just once in the night and he sleeps unassisted in his big boy crib but clearly Anna’s doing sleeping better than he is. In other words, August brilliantly duped his mum into thinking he was more perfect than he is.
Or, perhaps August just didn’t get the sleeping memo.

For us, it was allll about the dream feed. To bed at 8, half-asleep feed at 11, then up at 8 or so. But — blurry here — I don’t think we even got to that point until he was 3 months. We did it until he was maybe 9 months old. A long time, but worth it for that precious long nighttime stretch.
