I've seen this mentioned before here but what is dream feeding?
Feeding without baby fully waking. My LO doesn't really wake up MOTN, She starts squirming so I go ahead and feed her. But then I can't burp her to save my life, she won't wake up. If she does wake up and burp, then it takes me an hour to get her back to sleep... But, if I don't burp her, she grunts and farts which wakes me up anyway.
I love that A gives us longer stretches at night, but I wish she would either sleep until like 6:30 or wake up around 2 if she's going to wake up early. 4am feeding ends around 5, and then we're up in about an hour and a half for work.
It's almost not worth bothering to sleep again. Almost.
+1. We were up at 5 this morning. I just stayed awake and read Maze Runner with my coffee.

I should have just stayed up. I could have worked out or taken a shower...but the chance of sleep was too much to throw away lol.

Since we brought LO home, all of his nighttime sleeps were in the newborn napper in the PnP. I noticed that even though he is still in the weight limit for it, he seemed too long for it with his legs kicking the edge of the PnP.
Tonight is his first night sleeping on a flat, open surface (inside the PnP) and he seems so confused. He was flailing through his entire last sleep, kicking his legs so much he looked like he was running a marathon, like he doesn't know what to do with himself sleeping with so much room. I have a feeling it will be a long night.

Uh oh. A is getting too long for it also. Do you swaddle?

Good luck! We've always had LO on the flat surface of the PNP and she does the running thing too when she starts waking up
ETA she hates being swaddled but maybe that'd help your LO?

does he like to be swaddled? That might help him feel more secure and help with the flailing/kicking.

D'oh! I didn't even think about a possible issue with transitioning from the napper to the flat surface.... oy... maybe I should start having her at least nap on the flat surface so DD gets used to it... I agree about swaddling, that might help. Hope he gets acclimated soon!

We've had a few late nights the past few days so I thought I'd help myself to a cup of coffee at 9pm. About 5 minutes after I finished it, DD fell asleep and has been sleeping ever since. So, here I am, wide awake at 1AM. This was not a good idea.
Also, I'm watching Doomsday Preppers for the first time and I don't know what to think of it. On one hand I think these people are nutjobs, but in the event there's some sort of catastrophe I'm sure I'll wish I had a bugout bag and three thousand pounds of food stored somewhere... either way, I can't stop watching it!
aracale, DSHM13, gingerygirl, tmclawchick, We were swaddling up until two weeks ago when I noticed he was getting more flustered about having his arms restrained and being unable to move his legs well for gas relief. We have since switched to the sleep sack, which I have found makes for better transitions into bed since I can leave it on while he nurses in his MOTN feeds. He ended up letting me put him down after his 11pm feed and slept, albeit noisier, his usual 2 hours until now - I'll see how he does the next few nights to see if we need to try and restrain him a bit more via swaddle to get him to sleep better. Thanks!
Life with kids. Found a cup today, dh accidentally opened it (it was a let's just throw this out kind of lost cup) and now our bedroom reeks of rotten milk. So I can't sleep.
Just got woken up by H cuz dd puked all over our bed. Poor girl has a 104 degree fever. Now our sheets are in the wash and they're laying down in her bed...I'm back out on the sofa with ds...here is to keeping my kids separate! Yay!

Oh shit... I hope she feels better soon and isn't contagious
N somehow got an arm out of his swaddle. We use the unbreakable swaddle with his arms pinned at his side by a receiving blanket. Wtf super human child?
W wouldn't go down ealier Sui I called it and picked him up to feed him. He instantly fell asleep in my arms. I decided to let him sleep and see how long we could make it between feeds (so far max has been 4ish hours). We just got 5! Let's hope this will show his body that he can go longer at night. Wishful thinking? oopsiedaisies hope she feels better because that sounds awful for everyone.

Ah, I know this cup of which you speak. I know it well.
My poor little E is soooo sleepy! She last went down at 8:40p. I woke up 6 hours later & decided to change her. She smiled at me the whole time. Now she's nursing and looking sleepy still.

Thanks guys. Temp is at 101.7 now so it is coming down and she hasn't vomited anymore. Just talked to my MIL to see if she can help but apparently she is down with the same thing. DD spent the night with her on Saturday.
Noah gets violent during MOTN feedings. Like hitting constantly even when he's got a good latch going but then he ends up hitting himself and gets upset and pulls off. Fucking annoying and it makes feedings take a lot longer than necessary.

H has a man cold but he's convinced himself its the flu. Fairly certain its not the flu, just a stuffy nose. He wants me to take him to the doctor. With the baby. In a waiting room full of disease. I might just ask my sister to watch him. Of course, I will feel pretty bad if he actually is more-than-a-cold sick.
