It's 3:55am and DD just finished her MOTN feeding. She finally went to sleep around 11:30 after the hiccups woke her up at 10:45. I got my 4 hours and she is on my chest falling back asleep'. I should be good till about 7am now.
DH is going to get a crash course this weekend in soothing her. He usually just tries asking her what's wrong (mmmkay) and shoving a paci at her which makes her more mad and I then have to get up because he's like "I don't know what's wrong/what to do". You gonna learn to-day!

Up for the 2nd MOTN feeding..,,4AM here and as soon is this clock hits 4:19 I can turn off this damn pump and get back to my nice comfy bed:) although the episode of Law and Order SVU that I have on is actually pretty interesting....but not enough to keep me up any longer than necessary;)
Up again at 5...she slept for about three hours at least! I have a headache though so it feels like less. I'm hoping we can get another stretch of sleep in after she's done & H leaves.
Looks like a lot of us got a much needed stretch of sleep tonight!
G had a ginormous poop right before going to sleep last night and had tons of gas. He must have been so much more comfortable because he slept from 11ish to 5. He was fussing when he woke up but it just sounded like gas fussing, not hunger. Man he's even cuter when he let's me sleep!
LO made it until almost 4. Just fed and changed and about to put him back down. He's a little restless so I was holding him a little longer to try and get him to settle.

LO slept from 930-1:15, ate, went straight back to bed. Woke at 5, ate and is now *hopefully* staying back asleep (it's now 5:40). Soooo much better than last night where after a 3am feeding he basically stayed up the rest of the night. Mama needed some sleep tonight! DH will be leaving for work in a few and I'm hoping I can fall back asleep until he's hungry again.

Got a couple hours of sleep. LO woke up around 12:30, finally fell back asleep around 2, then woke up around 4:30. I set him down for just a second before feeding him so I could use the bathroom before my bladder exploded, came back to this
And he is still passed out...15 minutes later. Hasn't eaten yet.

I read this thread nightly but usually can't find the energy required to participate. Tonight LO is wide awake at 4:15 am with no signs of going back to sleep in the near future.
She spent a good portion of the day sleeping in the ring sling after refusing to be put down, so who needs to sleep now?
Baby woke up for 3 am feeding ... After being awake and constantly being on the boob until 1 am. DH is trying to be helpful but is so tired he just sleep talks at me. Plus baby is losing his umbilical cord (thank goodness - I hate that thing) but apparently they don't just pop off... They still look wound like - do not google umbilical cord falling off. Especially when sleep deprived!

This kid slept from the 11pm feeding until 2:30 - amazing. We finished that feeding/changing session about 3:30 and he fell asleep on the boob so I held him for a bit longer to get him into a deeper sleep before moving him. Of course, I fell asleep sitting up and holding him until 5:30 when he started to fuss and I woke up and realized what I'd done. My neck is killing! Why oh why did I ruin an amazing 2 hour stretch?!?

dogmama22 we try the bicycle legs but it doesnt quite work it out for her.. its not until the wipe is directly on her bum (it was not so pretty the moment I first discovered this abrubtly lol) I just have to reach into the line of fire and help her poo. Just started 3 days ago at a week old. Maybe just a little phase, who knows, but I think Ill ask about it if it lasts too much longer cause it definitely weirds me and daddy out!

DB slept 640-11pm, 11:30-1:30, and 2-5:30... At that point he was wide awake and my SIL heard him and got up, offering to take him. So I went back to sleep until 8:30, which was glorious! All in all a good night of sleep from him, though I wish it was shifted a couple hours later...

Co-slept in anticipation of all-night feeding. Looks like he did 3 hr stretches. DH didn't have to do anything til 5, when I made him do a diaper change. I just rocked Mr. Cranky back to sleep, so I'm sure siblings will be up soon!

E poops plenty but today when I was changing her she made three or four little poots while I was wiping her bum. I guess the stimulation does help stuff come out of there. +1 for calling the ped though, that does sound strange. FX it sorts itself!
