Thursday/Friday MOTN?

[Bernadine]

How's everyone doing? Dd hasn't been up before 3:30 in a while now.

We've been going weekly to a breastfeeding group. She had only gained an ounce since last week, but she transferred 4.3 ounces. Hopefully her weight is back on track next week.

DD woke up and ate less than five minutes but I don't want to put my sleeping baby back in her crib just yet even though I'm tired

... I'm also hungry, which is a real problem I've been having at night

Me too! I'm always hungry when she wakes up, but too tired to actually get up and get food, lol.

This has been the strangest night.

We took DD upstairs for her last feeding and she usually fusses because it's cluster feeding time. Instead she passed out so hard in DH's arms that he just put her in her crib and we decided to leave her.

I woke up every time I heard a grunt, thinking she was waking since I figured the early sleeping wouldn't last long. Since I was off my routine, I forgot to put nursing pads on before bed and woke up covered in milk around midnight.

Then our power went out, making the monitor beep like crazy, and me worry that we wouldn't hear the kids.

Now back to bed and hopefully sleeping more deeply now that DD ate and I'm not engorged!

Keep food near your feeding spot! I'm always hungry at MOTN feedings. But usually can't eat thanks to thyroid meds.

DS woke up MOTN for the first time in ages. Stress from starting daycare? Molars? I don't know. I gave him some ibuprofen and rocked him back to sleep, but of course he woke up when I tried to transfer him into his crib. Now he's crying. Ugh.

DD hasn't learned how to sleep in her bassinet yet. We've been trying all week but she's just up and fussy all night, so since I wanted to sleep tonight, I put her in the rock n play and got a good six hour stretch of sleep! I woke up to pump and now she's nursing.

I keep granola bars and dried fruit by my bed for motn snacking.

DS seems to prefer the left breast lately And it's now been multiple feelings where I can't even get him to latch on the right. I'm now painfully engirged on the right, and leaking like crazy and I can't get him to latch on that side.

In happy news, I got 4 hrs of sleep in our first stretch of the night.m

Up and pumping per usual. I'm coming down with a cold which means I need to stay away from the NICU for a couple of days.

We are in Australia. It is 6 pm on Friday here. The boys have been sleeping since 4 and I am 100 percent sure they will be up all night tonight. The flight was so easy and they've been great though.

DD has some sort of tummy bug. She hadn't thrown up since noon yesterday so we thought we were in the clear. Nope, woke and pooped and barfed at 5. Shiiiiit. At least no one else seems to be sick...

Ugh crap. I was hoping she was ok.

Dd has become a totally crap sleeper. Ugh this is so exhausting

[bananapancakes]

Oh no, @vicmo. I hope she feels better soon.

[belovedbride07]

Oh no, bowies. I'm sorry. I hope you feel better quickly!

We're on overnight feeding #3, the second since the adults went to bed. I really wish they would sleep longer than 3-hour stretches. Plus I know I kicked DH out of bed a while ago and he got DS back to sleep and I did the same with DD shortly after we went to bed. I'm so tired!

ETA: And we got them down and I was just snuggling back into bed when they both started crying. I gambled on the wrong crib; DD went back to sleep without intervention, but I'm now in the rocking chair with DS.
