Wow! What a night!

I don't know why... but Laura is having a really rough time at night lately...

Last night I can't count how many times she was up...
7:30 ate and in bed
9pm: up to eat
10pm: up to eat
10:25pm: just up - popped paci back in
10:50pm: CRYING - huge burp
12midnight: up to eat
1am: just up - brought her out to the couch to sleep with me
2:20am: up to eat
3am - CRYING - huge burp - all the crying even woke Rich up
3:30am - she had been changed and fed and was back to sleep
5:30am - up to eat
6am - fussing - big burp - brought her into bed with us...and she let us sleep until 6:45

Oy...if this is what "sleeping like a baby" is...then I don't want to ever do that!

I'm not sure why all of a sudden she's getting big burps in the middle of the night. She never used to. I never even used to try to get a burp out - but now I do (try) and it doesn't come up...and it ends up waking us all up a short while later...

I don't think she's anymore hungry(overnight) than she's been the past few weeks because she still only ate 4 times out of all those times awake...

I haven't read any super supportive articles about starting solids helping a baby sleep better at night - so we're not going to jump to trying that. What I've read is that a lot of people start solids thinking it'll help, but that it doesn't - it's just this phase that 4 month olds go through...

So, we'll just go with the flow...
