Is anyone else up? Fri MOTN

[bowies]

Oh hi! If this was a weekday this would be wake up time.

My parents are in town which messed with bedtime routine so it's thrown us all off. Oh well. Hopefully he's got a couple more hours of sleep in him after he finishes nursing.

After 5 nights of sttn, DD has started waking up at 4.30 then after a feed she is back up at 5.30. Um, no.

I might have to do daddy boot camp like heygrey

It's 5:30 and I'm really hoping this is MOTN and not being awake for the day.

I've got the pregnancy insomnia. At least once a week I'm just awake from 3 until 4 or 5. Boo.

Magnesium helped me with pg insomnia. I used "Natural Calm," but you could take straight supplement pills.

Same here. It's nice to know someone else is feeling my pain.

Up for wakeup #2. Sorry to those with worthless MOTN husbands, I feel your pain. Mine is a heavy sleeper and will help if specifically woken and asked, but he acts so exhausted and dramatic about it the next day that I rarely bother.

Up again. I can't seem to keep this kid awake long enough to eat enough so that he's satisfied for very long.

I am up. I was up early yesterday and didn't fall asleep until close to midnight. I didn't nap at all yesterday; everyone else had fallen asleep while we watched a movie. I think this is a side effect of the anesthesia. I am also getting chills/hot flashes from the dropping hormones.

Worse night here! He is just waking up.all.the.time. He's sipping as opposed to eating which means he's never full.

Went through the calendar tonight, his brother did the same thing at 15/16 weeks which I remember clear as day because I was in the US with my parents and DH was in the UK. DS2 is 14 weeks, maybe he's starting early.

I started here letting him to go school awake but drowsy. And if he wasn't start eating to remove from the boob.

I miss having a newborn - both my boys were fabulous sleeping newborns.

Sigh, I'm so exhausted. Was up at least six times last night and asleep before 10?

I am on maternity leave, so I am spending 5 days a week with the baby and what is turning into several overnights. I am getting really good at soothing and stuff he seems to prefer to chill out. How do I teach this to H without undermining him as a parent?

You leave him and the baby alone together. Your H will learn via experience, the same way you did. He will probably learn how to soothe the baby in his own way, not the same way you do. And that's fine.

Good luck with the boot camp, heygrey!

it was successful for the first night, I think! up 3 times with h and now I'm nursing at 5:15. this is the longest he's ever gone without nursing. if he does it with less wake ups tomorrow night I'll be happier.

I'm awake too unfortunately. Ds got his two month vaccinations yesterday and seems to be a bit under the weather. He doesn't want to be put down and his reflux is acting up because he keeps getting himself worked up. Poor guy....I feel so bad for him.

Is he drugged? Tylenol is your friend.

Can we give Tylenol this young?. I should probably know that.... Off to Google...
