Dd is killing me softly. She's been on my boobs since he brought her to me at midnight. She's wide awake and sucking my chest every time I try to pull her off of my boob.
2am and I'm still at work. This is the first time this has happened at the new job,. I figure I still have close to 2 hours of work left. And a 10 am meeting tomorrow. FML.

Justjen that sounds awful.
1:30 . Wake up #1 here. I guess I shouldn't complain, but Chase is almost 2. I'm so over night wake ups, but I don't have the energy to night wean, which I know will solve the problem.
1st wake up. It's 2am here. She went down about 11 so not a terrible stretch. She isn't really eating though- she was woken early bc of hiccups (wtf?). So we will prob be up again before too long.

I actively worked at moving her cluster feeding up last week. I started shoving a boob in her mouth every time she made a peep starting about 3pm. She had been cluster feeding from like 6pm-1am. Now it's more like 330-1030. Muuuch more doable. Makes life rough for my H bc I'm nursing basically every moment he is home. But it saves my sanity.
Just a thought if this is going to become a thing for her!
#bragplaint Wake up number 1, which, great - I just got to sleep for 7 hours straight! But it's the worst timing. My alarm goes off in 45 minutes so I'm really just up for the day now.
Bernadine have you tried to nurse in the side lying position? Not great still but being able to relax and doze off while nursing is sometimes better than nothing. And if your milk is in and nursing is going ok, consider a pacifier if you haven't tried that yet.

DD is awake and babbling in her crib, although it sounds like she's going back to sleep. I've been up for an hour and a half and might just get up for the day. I woke up in pain and took pain meds, but can't fall back asleep.

I'm scared to try. I have really large breasts, I'm scared she'll suffocate.
I hate my non sleeping baby. He had crappy naps yesterday so put him to bed early (6 instead of 6:45/7) and he has been up fussing or babbling since 3:30 am. The night before I got 2 hours of broken sleep. I just want to die.
I'm with Nata. Tell us what we can do to help. Book a hotel room for 2 nights so you and your DH can each take a turn sleeping?

You poor thing. Bring him over to my house - I was up most of last night with DS2 anyway.
