We're up again an hour and a half after last nursing and a supplement bottle was not enough for her as she downed that and is now currently nursing on top of the bottle.
I feel like this is because I told her doctor she'll sleep for 3-5 hours stretches. These past two nights have been brutal.
I'm watching Jimmy Fallon at least. If I don't watch something i swear I'd fall asleep. What do you do to stay awake?
erbear I was just about to start this thread!! Sadly LO went to sleep at 7:45 and I'm still wide awake. I'm currently dream feeding him now and hoping he'll sleep through most of the night so that when my brain decides it wants to call it a night I can get a few hours of sleep before getting up for work. DH and I had our first post baby argument tonight (hence the not being able to sleep). Anyone know if any good get rich quick things!?

Put DB to bed the earliest ever - 8:15pm. I also went to bed and we both slept almost 5 hours! The most I've slept in the almost two months of his life. He slept this long once before but I didn't take advantage!

Hoping this kid sleeps well tonight, he hasn't slept well all day. He seems to be having some tummy issues lately, and is spitting up even more, so it looks like we are taking a visit to the pediatrician this week to check things out. Just got him down, hope he stays asleep for at least a couple hours, I am beat.

Hoping for a good sleepy stretch when he's done with this feeding because he finally POOPED. During a dinner mtg I had earlier this evening, of course.

Very nervous about tonight. J slept all day. I tried to wake her a ton of times but she just slept hard core. She would wake up to nurse and then pass back out. I was able to get her up for about 20 mins of tummy time and playtime on the activity mat, a bath, two books and about 29 mins of bouncing on the ball. Now she is sleeping again. I hope she sleeps though the night like last night.
E has been fighting sleep since last night and seemed overtired and fussy all day. He would fall asleep while we held him but woke up as soon as we'd put him down. I decided to give him a bath before bed to help relax him. It worked, because he was sleeping during almost the entire bath. I took him out and while he was all sweet and cuddly in his towel he had an explosive poop all over it. Almost immediately after he started smiling and cooing at me, and was pretty much the happiest he's been all day. He's been asleep for a couple hours already, but I'm hoping that bath will give us a magically long stretch... I should have gone to bed earlier but it's hard not to enjoy some baby-free time by doing luxurious things like showering and cleaning!
Got LO down around 10pm. He has woken up at midnight and now at 2am because he is hungry. Nothing will console him except the boob. He's only 4weeks and change. Could this be another growth spurt? Ugh. Not looking forward to the next few days if it is... He had his 2 week growth spurt a little early, so I'm guessing that's what this is
DD is on my chest digesting. I am sooo tired and wish I could lay her down, but I know that if I do, she's going to get hiccups or a burp stuck. Trying to concentrate on Friends so I don't fall asleep.

My formerly easy baby was super fussy tonight. She got up from her last nap at 5:30 and I couldn't get Her back to sleep until midnight! She nursed constantly during that time, my nipples are killing me! But then she slept for almost 4 hours so that was great. She is up now nursing and wide awake. my 3yo didn't fell asleep until after 10, why do my children hate sleep?! I am so tired!
I sometimes respond to emails from friends in the middle of the night. It's always funny to read them in the morning, I am not very coherent.
Baby and everyone is asleep and I'm wide awake sitting at the edge of the bed. I have to work in the morning and I'm sure someone is going to get a half ass massage. Darn it! I woke up to nurse baby and got a really awesome/expensive news and now I can't sleep thinking how excited I am but "holly shit I need to do something to replace the money" keeps going through my head. That, ladies, is why you don't want to fall into the Babywearing rabbit hole.
LO just finished eating and is spending some time upright before I put her to sleep. She's been pretty generous on the stretches she sleeps, but is pretty much going to sleep for the night on her own schedule.
After successfully getting her to bed at 10:30 on Sunday, I thought I'd start our bedtime routine earlier last night to see if she can go to sleep at a time that'll make going back to work easier. She decided to cluster feed from 8:30 - 11ish. DH was finally able to sooth her and we had an 11:45 bedtime. Hopefully we get better at this over the next month.
!!! She just woke up at 6 AM! Well, she fussed at 1:30 and H took care of her but whoa! I actually was getting up to pump since I was super engorged. That was a five hour stretch there I got!
LO went down at 10:30, dream fed at 2, woke up at 3:30, ate and is asleep again. I am wide awake...the 2 am feeding was a dream feed all around - I woke up and found him in my arms and on the boob... Oops?

I feel safe calling last night the best sleep Oscar has had yet!
Fell asleep on his own (cried for 3-4 minutes) at 8:15.
Woke up at 1:15, 4, and 7:30am.
He actually went back down after the 7:30 feed as well, but I have a feeling that won't last long because he usually wakes up at that point for an hour or so.
He has shots today, so good thing we'll both be rested!

How did I know that as soon as you said awesome/ expensive news that it had to do with babywearing?

*he hadn't done this since Wednesday am*
No such luck. Less than 3 hrs at a time. All night. I'm tired, and I have a headache (got a filling yesterday).

budders, with LBB I had a 7 week growth spurt after the 6 week one. I had never heard of anyone having that before, but I sure did. Hopefully things will go back to being "better" in a couple days.
He's been up since 8:30 (only a 1.5 hour nap) and it's 1 a.m. now. He's been super gassy and I think it's because I've eaten almost an entire pan of brownies in the past 2 days. I feel so bad now that I figured that out. Mean mommy.
H just got up for her first MOTN feed (2:30 am) after a 4-hr stretch. I went to bed at 9:30 so I got 5 hours I fed her a bottle that is slightly bigger than normal in the hopes that she sleeps another 4 hours and skips her second usual MOTN feeding. FX!
P woke up yesterday at 2am and never went back to sleep. He was up and awake for all but an hour and a half of the next sixteen hours. He finally fell asleep at 8:15 pm and I went to bed at 8:30. He just went five hours as is now up nursing in his sleep. Please let him go another four or five hours after this. Please!!
Up at the usual time. Hoping for a decent stretch after this; he's been waking at 5:30 and by the time I nurse and get him back down, DS1 is almost up and I am getting no more sleep between the boys after that point. 5:30 is a little early for my blood!
Discovered tonight that DS2 has an umbilical granuloma so need to call hen the clinic opens and have that taken care of this week. Thank heaven I will have help here starting Thursday (DH at wedding) so I will only have to have DS1 tag along to the appointment today. DS1 had an umbilical granuloma too, just annoying that we have to go in for several appointments for application of silver nitrate to burn it off.
