I had trouble getting her to “pop off” and stay asleep. I employed Elizabeth Pantley’s gentle removal technique (watch for the sucking pattern “suck-suck-suck-pause” and right after the pause, use your pinkie finger to break the latch gently; try try again until the baby settles without asking to nurse again) but my daughter kept a tight grip on my breast with both her hands and woke each time I tried to extricate myself. [...] [...] Later on as I tried gentle methods to improve my toddler’s sleep, I wondered whether I could create a twist on the newborn swaddle–the “toddler swaddle.” Even as my daughter was cutting back on the night-nursing, each session was difficult for me because she would nurse and refuse to let me go.

The pediatricians assured the mother that she absolutely should listen to her own instincts and respond to her baby’s cries. They talked about the dangers of letting a child “cry it out” including depriving the child’s brain of oxygen and flooding the brain with stress hormones. They recommended co-sleeping, using a co-sleeper next to the bed or at least moving the baby’s bed into the parents’ bedroom (which by the way is the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics to reduce the risk of SIDS for babies younger than six months old).

I’m happy to report that some progress has been made since that post! Last night my toddler slept six and a half hours straight (from 11:15 p.m. to 5:45 a.m.) without any crying or any assistance from me or my husband. After I went in to nurse her at 5:45 I had trouble falling back asleep because I’d gotten such a good stretch of slumber! My body apparently thought that was it and I should get up for the day. Fortunately it didn’t take too long for me to drift off again and I got another two hours of sleep in before my daughter was up for good shortly after 8 a.m. “Mama! Hold hand! Mama! Go downstairs!” [...] [...] Remember I posted a couple of weeks ago about my efforts to get my toddler to sleep through the night?
