My Newborn Sleeps for 8 hours!
Jul

I think I have been given the perfect newborn. Ever since she was 2 weeks old she has been sleeping for 6 hours straight at night and this week she has been sleeping for 8 – 8.5 hours straight. She does get a little fussy before her naps and bedtime but if it means she’s going to sleep all night I’m fine with that!
The little problems she has had have been so easy to deal with. At 4 weeks old she caught pink eye from my little sister. A friend suggested squirting breast milk in her eye so I tried it a few times over two days and it went away completely! She has also a little bit of baby acne but washing her face and neck every day with plain water has been the perfect acne medicine for her.
With 3 very young children it is so nice to have a baby that doesn’t fuss much and sleeps through the night!

Sorry to make you both Jealous
I know, it is so nice that Miriam can go through the night without nursing! That doesn’t seem very common.
