Seriously, how can a 5 week old stay awake for 15 hours straight? Penny woke up at 4 am yesterday morning and did not go back to sleep until 740. At which time she slept for 20 minutes and woke up again at 8 to be fed (it was time). Craziness. However, after she ate she did sleep last night. She didn't sleep "through the night", but did sleep on a regular three hour schedule.
During her epic stay-awake episode Tray and I tried everything to get her to sleep. The swing, the bouncy seat, the sling, holding her, rocking her, bouncing her, letting her play on the gym, playing soothing music, white noise, attempting the pacifier, etc. All of these things "worked" in that they calmed her down and made her happy, but she still wouldn't go to sleep. It was like she wasn't even remotely tired. You'd have thought she would have passed out from shear exhaustion at some point right? But no, she wasn't tired. I sure was though. :) Imagine 15 hours straight of the above activities after having gotten the usual paltry amount of sleep the night before and you get the idea.
So question - how I am supposed to schedule her naps if she won't take naps??
