Are overnight diapers like a separate thing?

H doesn't poop or pee during the night anymore. Is that weird? The pee is something that started last week. She hasn't pooped at night for 3 weeks. Because of this she often has a giant poop first thing in the am and sometimes a butt explosion lol.

Really? I get poop but no pee? I can't imagine that. My older son woke up with soaked diapers until we night potty trained him a couple months ago. Even now we have to wake him up once to pee. I'm not saying your baby is weird or you should be concerned FYI.  Just not something I have experience with. Hope she keeps it up - will make potty training a breeze!

Yes, usually for older babies. They hold A LOT of pee. It's for when baby starts STTN because you're not going to wake them up for diaper changes.

Let it be known that I bitched my kid goes to bed too late, tonight he's been out since 9:45, it's now midnight & I'm still awake while he's peacefully sleeping. What am I doing?!?

[katelou]

i only have one pair of pj pants that fit postpartum. And they now have a giant rip. Wahhhhh

[willow]

I can't wait for L to not poop at night. He is pooping as I type this while I feed him lol. I hate it because it's so hard to get him to fall asleep after changing a poopy diaper. Ugh.

[madamewaffles]

I can't believe I get to type that Mr. A slept 3 whole hours in his crib!!! Idk if it was the shots but thank the lawd this dear child slept on his own. I randomly tried to put him in a loosely secured swaddle sack since it seems the regular tightness is too much for his gassy little tummy. He woke up hungry so I'm hoping I can get him back in there.

So my nips are hurting sooooo badly...I think they are blistered I fed him a bottle of formula and it was glorious! He was happy and I was thrilled. I think I need to ease into EBF for my nipples sake.

willow I'm right there with you r:poopy diapers. F has poop nearly every diaper change I'll say at least every 2-3 hrs. I don't see how this will magically stop any time soon

Ohh yes, nip blisters are the worst. Nipple butter FTW!

Breastmilk! I didn't even end up using my lanolin barely.

The Sims Freeplay is what gets me through feelings. I've been crushing this game since F was born.

Tonight so far:

Baby up to eat. Burp, change diaper, go back to bed.
-baby grunts forever in crib, finally stops
-then dog starts scratching at ears (double ear infection, got meds today but take 24 hours to notice difference) and shaking the bed and sneezing.
-baby wakes up from dog and starts grunting again.

Fml. This appears to be a cycle. Guess no sleep for me tonight.

[cavewmn]

willow hope you get some sleep.

So I fucked up my swipe by using my left pointer finger but sometimes holding W I will use my right thumb. A lot of the time my options are named I have never used!

[melody330]

Omg been up an hour trying to get B back to sleep. He's a grunting mess.

I woke H up to help and he notices he's stuffy. So at 2:45 am we are giving saline spray and nose frida'ing the baby. So. Many. Boogers.

MOTN right here for not realizing my kid couldn't breathe. H is up with him now putting him back down. I'm of course wide awake.

[littlesthobo]

Nobody is cute at 2:30am. Not the cats, not the dog, not even the baby. So you can all cut the shit and go back to sleep. I'm tired.

L is currently kicking me and worming all over. Dude, I'm trying to bounce you to sleep. Just relax.

[melody330]

Ugh. There isn't enough coffee for today

Yep, wide awake baby at 4am. Stop smiling at me, now is not the time. After 5 now and he's finally relaxing, but keeps popping back awake and struggling.

[melody330]

DS1 just woke up dry heaving. Ugggggghhhh.

[icaughtfire]

I'm ready for first nap! If I can get another hour or two of sleep I will survive.

[ellebelle]

Pretty sure we never went back to sleep after 5am wake up. What is up with this grunting? I don't remember it being this bad with DD1. It's impossible to sleep with it. I'm pretty sure we are moving to the crib in her own room once we get back from next week's vacation.

The grunting is the number one reason I moved him to his crib at 3 weeks. It's literally on another floor of the house, but I'd rather get up and go to him then try and sleep through the noise.

Well another rough night. Baby only gives me 1.5 hour stretches and takes an hour to go back down. Got desperate with the 3rd wake up so H gave him a bottle. E took it no problem but was still hungry so I had to get up anyway. Can't win. Gonna be a long day.

The grunting is what got DS1 kicked out of our bedroom way earlier than we intended. Best decision ever!

W was up a ton. So freaking tired. Of course today I have my appointment. No naps for me.

[glaze]

I don't think I got one hour of solid sleep last night. My head hurts. J was sleeping 8-1 every night in her crib and all of a sudden a couple nights ago she's back to waking up constantly. Noooooo.

E never even got invited to our bedroom. His noisy behavior in the hospital proved he was a poor roommate. He's been in his own room since coming home - no regrets!

[willow]

I've got a crazy frequent grunter over here too. Unfortunately not enough bedrooms for him to have his own so I have no choice but to lose sleep from it. Do they grow out of the grunting?
