Aliza woke up for a bottle at 03:30. This wasn't entirely surprising as she'd had bottle #4 at 20:00 and fell asleep before we could give her another one (she has 5 200mL bottles a day), but usually she manages to hold through a little longer. Oh well. I got up, fed her, went back to sleep, got woken up again at 8:30.

Speaking of which, I really hate having her down the hall. One, I don't wake up as quickly. Two, it's harder to settle her if she's being fussy. Three, she occasionally wakes up screaming, which she never did when she was in with us. I really think it's because she's afraid when she wakes up alone in the dark. In the dark with us, no screaming. In her crib in the daytime, no screaming. In her crib in the middle of the night.... *SCREAM* It doesn't work having her in bed with us for anything other than very short periods as we don't have a safety rail and there isn't really enough room for me to flip comfortably which I do a lot. I really wish I could work out a way (space wise) to 'sidecar' her crib; then she'd be separate, Neil wouldn't wake up from her being in the bed, and I'd wake up straight away when she cries.

This afternoon, she is mostly being Fussy. :(
