htuzzi324 I'm on number 3 who won't take a pacifier. I've watched multiple people suffer through taking it away. And I'm STILL trying to force one on her. Life would be easier right now if she'd just suck on a damn pacifier.

We took my dd's paci away at 20 months. My H told her that the paci fairy came and took them all for the little kids because she was a big girl now. We never looked back or had any issues! :-)

Haha! We did the same! Except the fairy took it to a little boy named Jacob. When Ethan was born I told DS1 that the fairy brought them back

[livnluv2010]

Mia's been super fussy all night. I'm rocking her and she's snoring right now. I just know the second I move she's going to wake up! This is not looking good!

[astheria]

DS has been sleeping for a few hours. He ate a huge bottle when I went to get food at 530. It's almost five hours later. I don't know if I should wake him or let. Him sleep. I wish he would just now be going down for this kind of a sleep haha.

[ampaints]

I just mange to get to sleep and M woke up. FX that he'll sleep the rest of the night once he's back down.

[layloo08]

FX all of the babies get the memo that we need and want sleep...

N started moving and whining so I got him up before he went bsc. As soon as I sat in the rocker, the booger was back asleep.
I sat here a while then put him back in our room. As soon as I pulled the covers over me, he really woke up. Now he's lazily eating..

ETA: fast forward about an hour. He Shit the most massive shit. Nursed like I had never fed him. Projectile vomited all over me. Now eating again. Fuck.

[ampaints]

I'm about to give up on M sleeping in the crib tonight. I've gotten way less sleep than I normally do.

I was about to ask you how that was going..
I dread when we move N into his room. I know once I get used to it that I'll sleep better but I know I'll be in your shoes too.

[motownthrowdown]

DH with the bottle and I'm pumping! Again! I could get used to this.

[htuzzi324]

4am. N is all happy with smiles and everything. Which is nice and all but if it happened at 9am that would be better.

[shannonabigail]

Really, H? You feed him 2 oz of a 4 oz bottle and then put him in the crib wide awake?? I should just be grateful he helps by feeding while I pump motn.

ETA: with a poop diaper and hiccups. And got back into bed before me while O was crying and I was still pumping. And left the remaining 2 oz on the counter instead of making it all the way to the fridge. Get your act together or you'll never get ST again.

My other two took pacifiers. Ds1 gave it up on his own around 5 months when he had his top and bottom front teeth. Dd gave it up at 18 months when we lost the last one. Never looked back.
We've tried 5 pacifiers now with N. Nothing. Please just take one.

[hopefulreturn]

My girl woke at 2 and I used the pacifier and we spent almost another hour. We just fed, spit, screamed, repeat for the past hour. She just fell asleep so now I'm keeping her upright a bit before going back to bed. When feeding, She's struggling to hold suctioning on her latch which is increasing feeding times. Maybe this is a coping strategy for my letdown? It is frustrating her (and me)

It's cold! My phone says it's 37 out! The baby is surely going to be motivation to turn our heat on earlier this year. If this house gets much cooler it'll be happening soon!

[ChrissDee]

Eloise has been sleeping soundly since about 11. Second night in a row of her sleeping through the night! But it's now 5 am and I'm still wide awake, no sleep yet. I guess I've gotten used to sleepless nights. I'm going to pay for this later on today when she's awake and active and I'm exhausted.

[queenb]

layloo08 oh man, that's rough.

B just slept from 8:30-2:45 with only a quick change/feed in between (that I woke him for). Unfortunately, due to a head cold, waiting for DH to come home, and TV, I slept only 1/2 an hour during this time. And DH can't help with the MOTN feeding because he's been drinking. FX he goes back down for a few more hours.

[oopsiedaisies]

Every 2 hours which means every 45 min I've been awake tonight to feed. Paci trick didn't work

[hiimjamie]

Yes baby, I don't mind. I will stay awake and sit Indian style or chris cross apple sauce or what ever it's called these days so you can sleep across my legs instead of in your crib in the hotel that is strange and new and different for you. Go for it.

[hiimjamie]

Oh and I've fed him like 42 times, changed his diaper and cleaned up the neon yellow bile and grass dog puke that my dog puked on the bed in his sleep all while Wife sleeps soundly. I'm not driving first tomorrow.

Ugh. Sorry your night is rough. Makes it worse that you aren't even home..
Yep, I'd make her drive first too!

H doesn't know it yet but he's cooking breakfast, doing dishes, and laundry tomorrow. Sorry, not sorry!

That's the worst!! The first time N went 4 hours between a feed i stayed awake.
Hope he goes back down and you get rest!

Not really motn but as i should be sleeping, this seems an appropriate place to vent.

Possibly overreacting here,
1st i just spent the last hour rocking a not hungry infant to sleep after he was handed to me by well meaning H. Infant slurped down about two minutes of OAD, before staring at me with perfect little gerber persed mouth as if to say wtf did you do thst for? So i changed him, swaddled hime and rocked him. Three basic skills that require no lactating breast or other specific female antomy to perform.
On top of that He has taken up this new habit of putting thing like recycled cardboard in a place where i will have to deal with it, i have seen him do it twice now and I am beginning to feel quite ragey this morning, If you are going to touch it put it were it belongs, if you dont know where ask, but dont leave a wake of exra tasks for me.
I understand this might seem like a small thing- not pissing in a fan box and ignoring it for days, (miss you laurelita42)
But my Mars in pisces has me crying big fat ugly hot tears of rage that i am not able to swallow today.

It went well after I got him down that time. It didn't help that M didn't nap well yesterday. H ended up feeding him when he woke up at midnight, but M wasn't fully asleep when H put him in the crib. It took a little bit for him to stay asleep, but once he did he slept 5 hours. I woke up a couple of times to check on him, but I was able to fall back asleep pretty easily. So glad we got the video monitor or else I would have been up and down all night though!

I'm sorry! That would make me ragey too. I hate it when people create extra work instead of just doing it right the first time!!!

Ugh yes. Dear God, just bc I have the boob doesn't mean I'm the only one who can do everything else. Especially in the MOTN. I feel your pain. .....Also. I was just thinking about that peeing incident yesterday!

[queenb]

Laverne my H is seemingly not capable of taking bottles/cans out to the garage. He stacks them neatly on the counter where they'll sit until I put them away. And, he goes out to the garage like 10 times a day, but always forgets and walks right past them. All of the rage.

[runningmommy519]

I thought of laurelita42 recently too. Hope she's ok. I miss her. I feel like I haven't seen brassyclarinet lately

[Laverne]

DSHM13, queenb, hiimjamie,
Thanks ladies, wish i wasnt such a sissie about confrontation. I just turn into a big mush pile when i get angry. Then i go over how the conversation will go, in my head, and get more pissed/sad, because is this small thing really worth even bringing up? I feel like admitting that i feel BSC over this will just make things worse, because i will get slighted, and end up feeling even more BSC.

That is me to a T. And then after the conversation I go over how I wish I would've handled it. By honestly, if it's bothering you, say something once you feel calmed down...if you make it come across as an unemotional request, it might go over better? Hugs.

[htuzzi324]

9:41 is totally motn, right? I'm so tired and this child will not stay asleep more than 5 minutes at a time.

[Deleted]

Dear child, it is officially nighttime. You can go more than 2.5 hours before wanting to eat, please. I need better sleep tonight! !
