She slept 10-245 not bad but not 10-5 like last night. She's pretty congested so I just cleaned out her nose hopefully she won't wake up until like 730.
The last two nights have sucked. He's been in bed with us before midnight both nights and slept horribly even in our bed.
I Usually feed him, roll him to his belly in the middle of the bed and then get a couple of hours without anyone touching me and I can move a little. Not so much the last two night, wakes up the second he's moved so I've been lying on my side not able to move or even stretch the last two nights. I'm not only sore, I'm Cranky too!
I felt horrible when we got home from the zoo at 6pm so went right to bed with him (dehydration headache). G and DH woke me up at 8:30 until G finally crashed at 9:15, an hour plus after her usual bedtime. At midnight DH woke me up and I made him change A's diaper. Shortly after A started cluster feeding so I've been awake mostly since midnight. At 4 he pooped a ton so I got up to change him. And now he's wide awake kicking his feet and waving his arms. Sigh. He had almost settled right before pooping but I couldn't let him sit in that for hours or risk it escaping his diaper onto my bed.

We had a horrible night. Horrible. Ugh. Up every 1-2 hours and at 3 just couldn't settle. Up from 3-5. Fell asleep and then DH woke us up at 530 getting ready for work. And X woke us up again at 630 screaming. I give up. I will never sleep again.
It took me over an hour to get him to sleep 745-9pm then he woke at 11 as usual but I didn't feed him as usual. He only cried for five minutes
Then he woke at 2,4 and 630. Not bad
We really need to get him in a pack n play and sleep sack
Did you cut out all motn feeds? I need to sleep train soon so I'm curious. A is still nursing every 1-2 hours.
no just the first one. I still feed at 2, 4, 6 etc. Just trying to get ONE decent stretch of sleep. I am ok with 2 night feedings for now. Just stop waking at 10-11pm! you aren't getting fed!
I've also been wondering if I should try a "dream feed" at the time I'm going to bed. usually what happens is I go in, he's asleep, and just as I'm drifting off he starts crying.
I wonder if I just went in and picked him up and fed him then would that solve the problem. but then he's still having a feed every 2-3 hours and I want him to not need that
also it's kind of risky. What if the one night I was like FINE I'll do a dream feed. He was going to not bother waking anyway and thus I've ruined everything.
