McKenna:

1.Yes!

2. About 8 weeks

3. Sometime between 3-4 months.

4. It was evening for her–right around bedtime (so 6 ish PM)

5. We went out as a family. She was happy if she was held or in motion, so we just left the house.

 

Brinley:

1. Yes. It was more mild than McKenna’s.

2. About 3 weeks.

3. Close to 4 months old.

4. Close to bedtime. It was the 7-8 PM hour.

5. She was fine during awake time, but had a hard time falling asleep. Because of this, I nursed her to sleep. When I did that, she was fine and it didn’t interfere with other naps at all.
