When will I learn?

We went through another really crappy sleeping week last week. Lily was back to being up ever 1-3 hrs and nursing her was the only thing that would calm her down. I was getting so tired and so frustrated, mostly because I was worried that she was falling into bad sleeping habits and I was concerned that I was adding to those bad habits by nursing her to comfort her. We were pretty sure that she was either teething (the thing that we blame for every bit of crankiness in this house!) and/or having a growth spurt. Well, lo and behold, she slept great last night (and pretty darn good the night before). She slept for 5 hrs straight, then 4 hrs straight with only one feeding in the middle of the night. I should have known that she would sort herself out again and I feel silly for getting so frustrated/worried. This pattern has repeated itself numerous times and I keep getting caught up in the same cycle of worry and annoyance. Maybe I'll remember this post the next time that it happens and I'll remind myself that this too shall pass.
