| |  Oh my gosh... 5 sleeping through nights!!!!!
A gorgeous gorgeous friend (SamiH  ) sent us an Amberbebe necklace for Jazz, it arrived a week ago.
We put it on her straight away.
That night was pretty bad, usual for her though, 4 wake-ups, including about 2-3 hours awake at midnight, frequent feeding and just all round restlessness (poor thing is getting molars, all four are BIG RED AND NASTY!).
Tuesday she had an AMAZING day sleep, about 20 hours after we put the necklace on.
We went to Pink that night, and SIL and niece came around to look after her.
She went to sleep easily, only a little whinge. She woke up at 11.30pm when we got home, but I gave her a little cuddle and she went back to sleep, then she woke at 3am for a feed, and back to sleep until 7am.
A great day sleep on Wednesday, and Wednesday night she slept 7pm-11.30pm, she was awake until 1.45am, but slept until 7.30am!
Thursday night she slept 6.30pm-11.30pm, and then 1.30am-6.30am!
Friday she wasnt wearing her necklace  And she woke up 4 times, and up at 5.30am.
Necklace back on on Saturday morning, and she slept 7.30pm-3.30am, and 4.30am-7.30am.
Last night was 6.30pm-2.15am, and 3am-6.30am. 
We've also been consistent with our NCSS plans, since July 19. Hard to say if its the necklace, or the plan, or both BUT  She also stirs a few times but rolls over and goes back to sleep We are only feeding once a night now, and with that and the extra sleep I am beginning to feel like a new woman! LOL!
WOOHOO for gentle methods!!!!! The amount of people who told us to let her CIO can all go eat their words  I don't want to get used to it, but I'm just so glad that she CAN do it!
