Saturday/Sunday MOTN

[awkwardpenguin]

We are entering hour three of wakeup #1. And she barely napped today. I've given up on identifying the four month wakeful and instead declare my kid just won't sleep.

My biggest fear is all the newborns will start STTN and I'll still be here starting MOTN threads every night all by myself.

[preppy]

Don't fear! My newborn is def not STTN, lol. She did a monster feed at 10:30 then DH wanted to try the bassinet instead of taking her per usual so I did and now I might kill him. She woke up (as I knew she would) and then ate on the other side and hadn't gone down since. He took her to calm her down and kept being like "I think she's hungry". Dude she ate for an hour 20 mins ago she's not hungry. He told me to sleep while he took care of it but unlike him I don't have the ability to sleep through her crying. So he finally went downstairs for an hour, and just brought her back up. She ate for about 2 mins and is now asleep on my chest. He's annoying me tonight for the first time since we brought her home. I guess it was bound to happen some night.

[awkwardpenguin]

preppy, I'm impressed you made it this long without being annoyed!

DD is finally down! Going to grab some sleep before her 2 am wakeup.

[awkwardpenguin]

namasteak, how's your little one doing?

[water*drop]

Don't worry. I do not make good sleepers, so even though sometimes I don't get out my phone, DS and I are definitely awake many times each night.

He's waking every 2 hours so not unusual but it lets me check on him so that's nice. Fever is pretty much gone (99) and the humidifier has helped loosen all the mucous up so he's breathing easier. Thanks for asking!

Me too! Especially because everything gets (or at least feels) worse at night.

AP - hope you got some sleep!

[starburst]

I'll probably be here with you. DS's sleep is getting worse and worse instead of better.

[namasteak]

I'm glad he's nursing well but I really need to go to the bathroom!

[preppy]

We slept for about two hours and now we are up and feeding again. She wouldn't take the left side much yesterday but I got her to latch now and she is gulping it down. I expressed s little first so she wouldn't pop off and choke and it seems to have worked which is nice.

I hate when that happens!!

[glinda]

My SIL had to put her dog down last night and now I'm up all teary about it and telling my dog he can never die.

I didn't even particularly like her dog but I just feel really bad for her.

[namasteak]

I thought he was asleep but he pooped himself awake. Swaddling works well for us but it's a PITA for MOTN wake ups!

[mcfelix]

Up after a stretch of almost 3 hours! She was pretty fussy for an hour or so before she finally went to sleep. She only nursed for 10 minutes just now so I am not confident she'll sleep for very long. Once I finish this bottle of water, I'm getting back in bed.

I am both looking forward and fearing the day we break the swaddle habit. Girlfriend needs it so badly and it works almost immediately, but it makes sleeping in public and settling down such a challenge.

[kellsbelles]

I'm so nervous about flying for the first time w my son I haven't slept That'll make the 5:30am wake up so much more fun. I'm sure he'll be just fine and it's less than an hour flight. I'm not the most graceful of flyers myself so even more nerves to add.

Number one rule of baby. Always pee first

[namasteak]

Fx the sore throat i have is just from post nasal drip and not something worse!

[namasteak]

Well that was a long wake up (1hr)! Hopefully all the nursing, a huge poop and a diaper change means a decent stretch of sleep.

[kaycee]

My kid only wants to sleep on me or my husband. I just want to go to sleep in my bed.

This thread made me have to pee.

[turtlegirl]

DD just woke up after a 3 hour stretch of sleep! But she woke up doing a weird sneeze/cough thing and sounds kinda congested. I really hope that means she's not getting the cold DS2 has. But I'm not holding out much hope since 2 night ago he literally sneezed in her face at bedtime :-(

[brandienee]

My kid is not the best at getting the attention of sleep deprived people.

He woke up to feed an hour ago, I heard him and made an effort to get up. Instead, I dreamt that I fed him. And woke up an hour later to his quiet frustration. At 3 am I need full on rage, baby.

Mother of the year right here.

[dottyblue]

My kid needs to poop. Or I need a gas mask. Either will work.

We are on day 3 or 4 of no poop for this kid (EBF, so no big deal yet). He is gassy and it is RANK. DH just walked through on his way to the bathroom and was like "is that HIM?!" It's not me, so yes.

Also night sweats are gross. My hair is soaked in sweat a good 2-3" from my scalp. I don't sweat much elsewhere, it just pours out my head.

Wake up number 2 for us and I'm grossed out.   My apologies if this is TMI

[dottyblue]

brandienee he'll be fine. You clearly needed the sleep.

I did that to DS1 a few times and he isn't scarred. DH was regularly confused by my sleep deprived antics. I would most often pop a boob out, fall back asleep dreaming I was feeding DS and then leak milk all over the bed. *-)

R is such a noisy sleepwr! I can't tell whether he's fussing or just making baby gerbil noises most of the time.

[nmosrob]

I'm here with you guys awkwardpenguin & starburst. Like water*drop, I don't always take out my phone, but am always up multiple times a night. I think we're going to sleep train soon :/

This is how DS2 is, and why he sleeps on his room vs ours.

I just put him down less than an hour ago. I think he woke himself up with a cough. He is already pasing back out on boob, let's hope this wakeup is short

[mcfelix]

namasteak - I have a sore throat and I'm pretty sure it's from post nasal drip. Ugh.

DD's last stretch was a little over two hours. I'll take it! She's very grunty right now. Hope we get another good stretch!

[blueberry10]

Why the hell won't my kid sleep?!? I was up with him from 1:30 to 2:15 and now I've been up with him again for another 45 minutes. Go to sleep, punk!

[preppy]

After a 2.5 hour stretch we are up again feeding. Hoping this one gets us till maybe 8am? I would love to sleep in:)
