halojedhaI slept in the spare room. Leo took E to bed.
We got off to a bad start when they had a 5.30-7pm nap on the boob. I was just about to take them to bed when they woke up. Decided to let them have the milk, but knew that the sleep would disrupt bedtime.
I slept badly. This body didn't want to be away from E! Woke up every hour or so from heart-racing dreams of E needing me. I put earplugs in but even so, when I went to the loo I heard crying.
At 7am (the agreed time) Leo brought E through. They were so pleased to see me. We nursed and they immediately fell asleep.
Apparently the night was mostly crying. E refused to let Leo sling them, and only got about 2 hours sleep.
Oof. This is hard. Night 2 is I'm told often even harder. I still believe it's the best thing to do, but I'm looking forward to being in the room and supporting Leo and E through the transition.
