Actually I guess it's still technically summer, but it was 66° this morning so I'm rockin the booties and ankle jeans. It's fall!
In other news, for those not on the FB group, I finally broke down and decided to sleep train C. Last night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, so I feel encouraged to keep moving forward.

Good morning!
I'm having a rough time of today. I really need vacation.
At drop off, I was telling my dad how I was sick and all my mom did was bitch about how she's sick all summer.. So we both ignored her and started talking about something else. When I picked up Emma on Wednesday I was battling a migraine on top of whatever this is (maybe bronchitis? Idk) and asked her if I could just sit for a couple minutes with a cool pack to try to feel better enough to get us home safely. Well, when we finally got in the car (bout 15 min later) bc my mom started to bitch about "if you're here when your sister gets home don't tell her you're sick" and I just decided to leave at that point) I noticed a text message that I'm assuming she meant to sent to my sister. "OMG, she's still here, complaining about being hot and tired..." .....
I didn't tell MH about it because I don't need to give him more reasons to not like my mom, and I didn't mention it in chat bc it was too much that day, but it really hurt to see that, and I think that's the last straw.

Last night I sent DH in at 4 am when DD woke. I think that is going to be our first step to sleep training is to wean her off night feeding. It's a crutch and now it's too the point where I can't get her down after. It's his day off so I usually shower in peace and get to work early. Well he still wanted to sleep so I took DD while I pumped, like every morning. He finally came down and tried to fill the green bin while I stood holding DD. Annoyed.

sunfrogger88, That is AWFUL. I agree I would at least respond back with "thanks, point taken, I will pass on to "sisters name"
She should know she made an ooopsy and to sit on that. *Hugs*
She did say later, "hope are both feeling better" and I was just dismissive of her. Then she said "oh I'm so sorry I tried to push you out earlier, I had a bad day" but it's just very constant with the pity me party she throws. And I'm really over it

DS is having a rough week. He has had a fever for a couple days. We went to see the doctor yesterday and just got advised to use Tylenol. He was up a lot last night crying. He was feeling a bit better this morning and started crawling around the living room. Ended up faceplanting and I picked him up and noticed blood on my sweater. He cut his lip. Poor guy. He didn't need that on top of being sick. I should having been paying better attention.

That's our issue too. C wakes up eleventy times a night, purely looking to nurse. And I've been obliging him, much to my detriment. I just couldnt take it anymore. This is like a nigh-weaning/sleep training combo.

I was starting to wonder about this. At what point should I stop MOTN feedings. I only feed her once MOTN and only after a certain time, but I'm afraid we need to actually do some sleep training. I can't keep starting the day at 4:30am.

I know she can go the whole night and I'm not worried about her needing it, but she now associates the boob with nighttime wake ups/how to go back to sleep which isn't good. So my foot is going down. Unfortunately that means DH needs to step up the help in the MOTN.
That sucks. At least DD wants to go back to sleep after, she just doesn't know how to on her own. And that is our fault.

Same boat. I just give E boob so he'll stop whining. I tried not to last night. He woke up at 1:45 and just sat with him on the glider til he fell asleep. But then he woke up an hour later and I gave him the boob. DH is just so against sleep training. Now he magically thinks when E turns 1 he'll sleep. If I could do it myself I would but if E wakes him up, I can hear him yelling JUST GIVE HIM BOOB!!!!

ldubhawksfan, littleowl913, we're in a bit of a different boat. If she wakes up I don't nurse her before 12am. And if she wakes up anytime after I nurse her, I leave her in her room. Usually she puts herself to sleep. The past few days I've checked the monitor, seen that she's fine and then turned the sound off. I let her be. Normally she goes back to sleep, the past few days she hasn't. I'm thinking maybe a milestone or something. I just don't know at what point to try and MOTN wean. She's just an itty bitty thing and my supply is dropping, so I feel like she really does need it.

That makes sense. And yeah, we are no where near her putting herself back to bed. Last night DH tried to put her down for bed tired but awake and all hell broke loose. We really need to buckle down and try CIO.

FFFC: BF means so much to me I will not consider night weaning until the New Year so I can make it to my goal of 12mo.
We are only waking 2x a night most nights and I seem to have learned to cope with the interrupted sleep.
Eta: not that night weaning = full weaning. I am keeping up with her right now and I am scared cutting more feedings will tank my supply. My first pp period made it harder as it is. It's rebounded thankfully but....

@sunfrogger your mom sounds like my MIL with the "one up" thing. No point talking about being sick or having a bad day because she is way more sick or had the worst day EVER one time. And if she can't compare to how your feeling she just dismisses how you're feeling. So not looking forward to living closer to that.
DD2 had such a bad night last night. The tooth that's coming through the bruised gum where her sister dropped her is giving her a he'll of a time. She's a drool and snot factory which has now made her congested. Last night I caught her sitting up in her crib trying to sleep sitting up and dozing off. Poor thing. I think it's because she couldn't breath well laying down so I had to prop her up with a pillow. At least she slept through the night not like the night before which was hell. This tooth needs to get out already.

I don't plan to fully wean until she is ready, or top teeth really change my opinion! Lol But I don't think her night feeding is really for nourishment in our case, and it's hindering the development of healthy sleep patterns, IMO. I love BFing, & have a love/hate relationship with pumping.

I love it too! I'm protecting it with all that I can. I'm just terrified that taking them away will be a spiral. She can sleep without the food association. On lots of wake up nights, we cuddle back to sleep sometimes. She wants mama at night so even if we didn't nurse, MH is not an acceptable substitute if she knows I'm home.
