MOTN talk

[melody330]

Anyone else up for this thread? Maybe a weekly thread since daily probably would be too slow?

Anyway, we are up. Ds2 will give me like ten minutes of sleep in his bassinet before he flips his lid. I just broke out a swaddle me so hopefully this helps. DH is of no help MOTN and his snoring makes me rage.

Milk is almost in, so I'm sure I'll wake up to rock hard boobs tomorrow.

What's everyone reading? I need a good book to keep me awake for this stage.

Did you ever read the Martian? I thought it was excellent.

Also- sorry you DH is being anti-helpful.

Mine is currently passed out post friend's birthday party

I loved The Martian!

DS ate to fast and spit up down the front of my shirt. Now he's trying to fight sleep.

Also still amazing to me that I can put DS!

I haven't read it, but DH has it on the kindle. I'll try that next! Thanks!

It's not quite the middle of the night here on the West Coast, oh well. I just fed dd and an hoping she gives us a 4 hour stretch. In the last couple of days she's upped her formula intake to a solid 4oz and the sleep is stretching longer. I'm heading to bed soon and hoping for the best!

I am up i have had maybe an hour of sleep so far tonight. My toddler was screaming... still not sure why... about an hour after i went to bed. So its been a long night already.

I'm up after a feeding. Waiting for dd to fall back asleep. Her belly is upset. She's tooting away. Hasn't pooped since Friday.

I'm up too. If I go to bed at 1 am Maddox will wake up around 4am and then again at 7ish son would rather stay up until 1 so we only have one motn wake up...also waiting to pump again at 1230.

I'm up feeding DD. My milk has officially arrived, youch! Baby has a shallow latch that is always worse at night, it's harder to correct since we're both pooped.

[tootsie]

I can't believe how heavenly sleeping is without that big belly.

[melody330]

Up again. It's 4:30 here so we got a two hour stretch. FX I can get DS2 back down before ds1 wakes at 6:20

[Ray]

I'm up too. 3.5 hours from end of feeding(+burp and diaper change) to wake up not too shabby. Hoping he eats efficiently so we can get back to sleep by 5:15.

[melody330]

Well we had a terrible night. Collectively I think I got 4 hours of sleep. Big thunderstorm just woke up both kids. It's almost 7am here so I doubt I'll go back to sleep. Ugh. Hopefully everyone else had better luck!

[cavewmn]

Maybe an hour sleep, two if I'm lucky. He is fighting sleep a lot and of course got the hiccups when he got to sleep...

This times a thousand!

We are finally starting to get longer stretches consistently (4-5 hours). Once both are fed and changed and finally back to sleep I usually pass back out but I would love a MOTN thread for those nights that I don't or they are fighting sleep.

I liked out of solidarity. Mal had a slight tongue tie and shallow latch. I'm going to wait and see on correcting it so we do some lazy/pinchy motn nursing.
