Really, we can't complain, because Henry is a pretty good sleeper. He's already "sleeping through the night" - which sounds really awesome until you find out that "sleeping through the night" is usually defined as three or four hours at a time. Factoring in feeding, changing, and then rocking back to sleep, it's not unheard of to get 3 hours of sleep at a time. Doing the math, that means in order to get 9 hours of sleep - status quo for Dad - it's at least a 12 hour cycle.
I'm learning, slowly, to deal with less than 9 hours of sleep.
Anyways, usually Henry sleeps pretty well. I say usually, because sometimes Henry has a different routine he'd like to try. On those particular days and nights, Henry is like this during the day:
And like this at night:
Babies, says the book, are used to sleeping all day and partying all night, because they got rocked to sleep in the womb when the mom moved around.
