You may have guessed that yesterday i was pretty... flustered would be a good word. i was so afraid of being awakened 4 or 5 times overnight for D to eat about 2 ounces each time and then fall asleep.
Well, i'm happy to say that she slept through the night! She woke once around 8:45 and just needed me to rub her back to fall back asleep. Then she didn't wake again (at least not when she didn't fall right back asleep on her own) until 5:15. She ate a 6 oz bottle (maybe could have had more...?), then slept again until 7:45. Dude! That has never, ever happened!
So now i'm left with the conclusion that A) i'm a douchebag for trying to put more food down her gullet than she actually needs, and B) she actually does better without it (eats more and sleeps more!). So yeah, i'm not feeling really confident as a mommy at this point.
So far today, she's eaten more than she used to with the old strategy, so that's a good sign. She has, however, slept a grand total of 35 minutes during naps since the 7:45 waking. 15 minutes at daycare and 20 at home.
Yay for Pre-Toddler D and getting back into her regular rhythms!

You are a wonderful mommy! All of us have a learning curve! D is lucky to have such devoted parents.
