Sleep? And my thoughts on scheduling.

Does anyone out there know what sleep is like? Can you help me to remember? Seriously, Penny woke up at 1045 last night and did not go back to sleep until 8 am. At which point she actually slept a little bit longer than normal such that I got almost 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. That's the most I've had in a month. Everyone says you can't put a baby on a schedule until they are 2 months of age - it just isn't neurologically possible. But, our pediatrician said that by about 2 months she should put herself on a schedule so I should see evidence of her moving toward that over the next month. I can't wait! Actually, I think last night (and today) she is having a growth spurt. She has eaten at least every two hours (with the exception of that "long" stretch this morning). It's frustrating, but right now it is very important to listen to her cues and feed her when she gets hungry. Trying to feed her on a schedule would not only be dangerous given her small size and how easily she could fall off the growth curve (and we don't want her to go below that 10th percentile mark) and also during a growth spurt it is important to feed frequently because it stimulates my milk supply to increase. I know that a lot of you out there feel differently about scheduling, but I assure you I am a very rational person and the science indicates that babies under two months can't be scheduled - and can't be spoiled. As for the book "On Becoming Babywise" I recommend that people read the American Academy of Pediatrics position on that book. A summary can be found here: http://www.ezzo.info/Aney/aneyaap.htm
I don't have anything against the book per se, but it is certainly not meant for babies Penny's age.

On the flip side, "The Happiest Baby on the Block" is awesome! I highly recommend it. So many people recommended that book and dvd, including our baby class instructor. I finally bought the dvd and it is so great. Whenever Penny is crying Tray and I can usually make her stop in a matter of seconds. Not always, but I would say the majority of the time. It doesn't necessarily make her sleep, but it will make her stop crying. It's amazing.
