Cayman loves her bear. Or maybe the more truthful statement is, Mommy loves this bear. It plays sounds that mimic the noises of the womb. I turn it on for Cayman only at night as part of her bedtime routine. It gives that breaking distinction between naps during the day and sleeping longer hours at night. Cayman still does not sleep through the night. She wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat but she goes back to sleep quickly. Each time Cayman is in the hospital we take her bear with us. She is familiar with that sound and it seems to be calming to her. It's next to impossible to keep a schedule in the hospital and we play Cayman's bear for her more as a comfort measure than a bedtime routine. So every time we return home from the hospital Cayman's sleep schedule is all messed up. But I think because of this bear it does not take her long to get back onto a night-time sleep pattern. Only a couple nights and she has it figured out again...awake during the day, sleep at night.

i always had a favorite [my favorite] animal i put with georgiana when she went to bed. a bear and a glow worm that sings lullaby's. well, now she disassebles the gloworm, so that's out.and she doens't like the bear. she wants the bunny. but it took her a year and a half to have her own opinion on a nite-time sleeping pal!! so glad if it's helping her sleep. if cayman can sleep, kris and mike can sleep! sleep is good. still praying for you all. all i have to say is wow, cayman is a little trooper and all your love is helping her heal faster. you're all so blessed to have each other. hugs, love, and hopefully peaceful dreams.

Kadyn luckly has slept through the night since birth. I think he did because he never had to cry to eat when until he was a month old. He was on the NG (the one that goes into the nose) tube for 3.5 weeks, then when he decided he would rather suck a bottle for food he still slept through the night, and kadyn will sleep...from 9:30-8:00am. He is a sleeper, but he takes crappy naps. :-)
