How long Natalie stays asleep varies a lot--sometimes it's only 1.5 hours until the first waking, sometimes 4 hours. Sometimes Dad can get her back to sleep walking her, sometimes she needs to nurse. On a couple of occasions, she's slept 7-9 hours without waking, so I know there's hope. I would definitely recommend the snack trap. Best of luck on your trip and with the sleeping.

Your baby and mine sound so alike! Putting Zora down for sleep has always been a major production, and then she doesn't stay down for long. I suspect it's because she has always been so active- she has never laid in one place long enough to doze off on her own. Z has also always been a major car hater like N, because she just hates being tied down in the car seat. That has been getting better recently, though. I gotta try the snack thing for the long drive we are planning this weekend. It's so reassuring to know that someone else out there has to really work to get her baby to sleep. And reassuring to hear that it gets better, even by tiny steps. Can I ask how long Natalie sleeps on her own, once you have gotten her down in bed? Maybe your reply will give me hope!
