So H has me terrified about having W sleep on my chest (see baby advice ) so now rather than having a happy baby sleep on my chest we are waking up every 10 minutes or so to a screaming baby in a stupid bassinett. The last couple of nights were so wonderful sleep wise and now I feel like we're regressing.

It is amazing and weird to me that I sleep through my dd now but not a baby making much quieter sounds, despite him being right next to me. Her monitor is next to my head and I don't hear her.
Really wish this child would wake up gradually at night and not just go from deep sleep to screaming bloody murder in 0.3 seconds. Terrifies the shit out of me and not a fun way to wake up. Think I just lost a few years off my life span.

+1 is she sleeping longer stretches? W does this most when he's been sleeping for over 2 hours (his standard wakeup) my theory is he suddenly realizes he's starving and has to be fed that instant hence the hysterics.

I've been having the same problem. There was one night that he woke 2 or 3 times. DH heard him and went to him. I totally slept through

She just woke up from a 5 hour sleep, but she's gone longer without doing that. She did it waking up from a 1 hour nap yesterday and it scared the bejeezus out of me. I was thinking nightmare?

Do they have nightmares this young? It may be a stupid question.. but I've been meaning to Google since E does this sometimes but I haven't. Also, I noticed we both have a baby who can be called "Evie" ...I think it's really cute but my SO knows someone named that so he doesn't like it
Well I knew it would change at some point. I just didn't realize it would change the second I posted that humble brag this morning. E has effectively not slept since then.

J is squirmy, gassy, constipated. He slept from 8pm-1am which was cool but it was after a crazy crying spell. Now he falls asleep every 10 minutes and squirms/grunts awake. Repeat. He also keeps clawing at his mouth, I had to put mits on him. Babies are exhausting. But so sweet.
Well DH is sick and puking. DS woke up 45 mins early for his feeding crying so I'm hoping I'm not on the verge of having him sick too. Fingers firmly crossed!

SO & DD are sleeping but I can't. I've needed sleeping pills since I was 16 and it kinda sucks now that I can't have them, especially when I need to sleep when she sleeps. I did leave her for 10 mins with him so I could pee & brush my teeth... I put her next to him so she wouldn't wake up & came back to this... I die from the cuteness.
Woot we slept in the bassinet from 1130 till now. Woke up and now feeding. Hopefully he will go back down again. We are kinda asleep while feeding. Didn't need a diaper change (had one just before he laid down). I'm just excited for a small victory.

Tonight is the first night I've just gone to bed and not set an alarm. A woke up on her own and started fussing, so I got up to go pump so I can come back and feed her. Half joking told dh that if he comes down to feed her we can both be back asleep faster. He says he didn't get to bed until midnight. I ask why, because he fed her around 10pm. I figure she had a blowout or was super fussy or something. Nope, he was playing a video game.
Sorry dh, video games fall into the "self induced" category of sleep deprivation and are therefore not eligible for any pity. I'm downstairs pumping, kind of hoping A will start crying and wake him up so he'll come down and feed her.
We've started putting Thea to bed earlier, which has seemed to eliminate some of the evening fussiness, but now I'm not going to bed when she does. Totally back fired tonight. Now she had a major poop fest, spit up all over my bed and is refusing to go back to sleep. So lame.
Kaylee was fussing and grunting so I figured I would get her before she started screaming, walked into her nursery and she spit up. Tried feeding her and she spit up and fell asleep. I think she was trying to pass a gas bubble and all the work caused her to spit up instead. Fun times.
packmomma could you sleep with him on his back next to you? That's what we do and E is fine as long as I'm there.
+1 we co-sleep, no pillow no covers above the waist. I roll her over to eat, burp, then lay her down next to me on her back and she goes right back to sleep.
Just woke up to nurse. It went like this: scream, latch on, gulp like she's choking, pop off, scream. Latch on, gulp like she's choking, pop off, scream. Repeat for 20 minutes. I burped her, the beginning might have been my let down, but it can't have been that fast for 20 minutes. Whaaaaat is going onnnnn.
