There's been 0 days since the last projectile incident. DH'S version of motn consists of changing feeding and putting back in the Co sleeper. Then I get up after the dictator fussed for awhile, hold him while he falls asleep, and get vomited on because burping is not on the motn list apparently.

I think I want to not like my husband today. He was an ass last night. So I'm going to take myself out for an early valentines to Caribou! He can go suck one.
My best friend flys in in approximately 5 hours WOOOO! Yesterday was LOs 2 month mark but she wanted to help me with the 2 month picture so we are doing it today.
A doesn't really cry at night. She fusses intermittently and it is torture. She will fuss then stop and you relax and then fuss again. She's not even really awake. I couldn't get her to latch until I unswaddled and changed her to wake her up. I want to let her sleep but I can't live through endless fussing. Thoughts?
We have gotten into a really bad habit of LO falling asleep around 9 in his bouncy seat and then my husband falls asleep on the couch. He sleeps 4-5 hours but now when he wakes up to eat he doesn't want to sleep in his bassinet because it doesn't vibrate like the bouncy seat. I paid for it big time last night he didn't fall back asleep for two hours!

DD does this too. It's so annoying. But it happens every 3 hours so I just get up and change/feed her since she woke me up anyway.

F does this sometimes and it looks like she's having a bad dream. If I pat her back/bum and shush loudly in her ear she stops and sleeps more soundly.
@happywigglecmb my H tells me that the baby hates him. Um no. He just doesn't know how to soothe her because he hands her back when she cries. And he has no excuse because this is our 2nd kid! He must have newborn amnesia...

My LO does this if it gets too quiet. Normally a good swaddle and noise maker settles him down
O's new thing to do is wake around 5 to nurse and fall back asleep but then continues to huff and puff and grunt on and off until 7. Stays asleep just long enough for me to fall back asleep and then keeps waking me up. Real fun game
My husband has a 3 day weekend (apparently President's Day warrants a day off) so we're going to try to break lo's habit of sleeping in the rnp and transition him to his pack n play. Any tips to help him accept sleeping flat on his back?
Also, Grey's destroyed me last night. So glad I had lo before the April-Jackson storyline continued!

C does this too. She rarely cries, just fusses and grunts. I've had to have DH take her overnight and bring her to me for feeds. It's impossible to sleep through all the grunting she does.

I put LO in a onesie under the swaddle before we went to sleep last night, and I tried to feed him but he was sound asleep. He actually slept until almost 4 - likely the most intense milk coma he's ever been in due to my ILs over feeding him. I did appreciate the sleep, but after the responses to my post from last night, I'll be finding them a YouTube video on pace feeding . (I know this isn't the FFFC thread, but I have to confess I like when my MIL is wrong about something because she's so self-righteous... I like it less when it involves the care of my child, but pace feeding should be an easy fix.)

Sorta upset. I wanted to stay home this weekend and go get my stroller, and do something fun since it's nice weather and my H has a 3 day weekend. But no. ... We are going to his parents instead. Which means he'll be working. All I ask is for a little family time every once in a while. It's annoying, every chance he gets he wants to go to his parents house.
I may just tell him to go without me. Leave me and Liam at home and he can take the other kids.
Plus, I went to Starbucks yesterday, got my drink and just realized I didn't even drink it! I was so busy with kids yesterday, I left it in my car and of course now it's no good.
I'm so exhausted, but I'm gonna get up to shower and pack bags and get everything together.

I am the exact same way with my MIL! On the outside I'm all gracious when she's wrong but on the inside I'm all:

I showed DH how to get the baby to calm down/sleep after a motn or early am feeding. He would have known this already if he EVER paid attention to what I was doing rather than insisting on putting the baby down the second he closed his eyes. This isn't rocket science and I've been doing the same thing for 6 weeks now.

Turns out H (after I'm already crabby) makes me seem like the wicked witch of the west. Apparently his dad wants him to ask me AGAIN if he can help him work on a house because he'd really appreciate the help. Um this is the first I'm hearing about it. He uses the whole let me ask the wife excuse all the time and I'm pissed because that's his new way of saying no. So all his friends think I'm a controlling bitch.

My DH does this too. Drives me insane. I'm sorry your H is doing that to you! Is it possible to say yes to him working on the house just so that he realizes he can't use you as a no?
I wish. I was up feeding LO when his dad text his phone and I was able to read it. I wasn't asked directly.
My husband made a bottle last night but I ended up breastfeeding. I didn't realize he put it in the fridge. He fed it to the baby this morning. Is that bad?

I just bought something from Amazon by Munchkin that goes under the mattress to make it vibrate. We have the same problem!
I pumped one side while feeding the other. My boob ached the whole time and I got an ounce less than normal. And now it's still aching. Hopefully thus is just a fluke and nothing is wrong!
I just side nursed in bed for an extra hour of glorious sleep. Thank God for boobs sometimes!
I did this morning too. LO woke up at 330 and didn't go back to sleep until 530, only to be woken up by DH'S alarm minutes later I brought him to bed and slept until DH kissed us bye at 7. Finally back to sleep again now (945 here), time for all the food and coffee!
