Day 131 - May 11

Cate has been a TERRIBLE sleeper for the last almost-two months. Our trip and her ear infection, along with a bunch of new milestones like finally eating real food, getting teeth, and working on crawling and cruising, totally led to a big regression in her sleep pattern.

We've been experimenting over the past week or so (after a middle of the night meltdown... by me) with different options for getting her to sleep better. We're having nominal success with things like no longer using a sleep sack and moving her pack n play to the spare room in the hopes that she just needed her own space. But she's still waking more often than usual and is harder to get back in bed.

I think the issue is the squishiness (or lack thereof) of her pack n play. We do have a mattress in there and not just the padded cardboard that comes with it, but it's not very cushy.

My conclusion is drawn based on two facts: 1) She sleeps really well in/on our bed, and 2) she sleeps really well on the couch.
