I learned today that the technical definition of a baby “sleeping through the night” is midnight to five in the morning.

*Blank stare*

Ok, well little EC did something more like what I would consider sleeping through the night last night. 9 pm to 4 am. Granted, that’s a little jet-lagged, but given that she ate at 8 pm, and therefore went 8 hours between feedings, I was pretty impressed.

So, next time someone asks me if my baby is sleeping through the night…I’ll let them know that’s child’s play. A full night’s sleep—we’ve discovered it’s possible, and that’s the metric I’ll be tracking. Veteran parents will probably tell me that it’ll be awhile till we get there consistently. We’ll see.
