I track how long I nurse...today (Tues) we did over 8hrs. Wtf. And here we are nursing again. Starting Wednesday off strong...zzzzz
Mine just wants the boob. He doesn't actually eat all that time. Instead he just mostly wants to lick my nipple, thrash his head around while he's attached, or anything else that isn't him eating.

Oh yeah. It isn't continuous eating. But it's me stuck sitting for that long and I feel so unproductive. If she isn't nursing she is in the ktan. I was able to get her to nap in her swing for an hour. i know they say you can't spoil a baby under 16 weeks...really hope that's true. Otherwise we have some pretty bad habits over here...

You and me both. I'm being ridiculous and convincing myself there's something wrong, like maybe an ear infection. He isn't usually like this. I need sleep.
Just finished baby's dream feed- I Bf and then pump because otherwise I get mastitis, 1.5 hours later, I can't sleep. When can I start dropping the dream feed? Last time I skipped it he was up at 2:40 am.... Don't want to do that again.....

O woke up coughing and couldn't catch his breath. He was bubbling mucus out his mouth so I patted him on the back and held him near the humidifier. We suck his nose out a few times a day, have him sleep in the rnp with the humidifier, and use baby vaporub. He's not getting better and it has been over a week. I'm thinking a trip to the pedi might be in order for the morning.

This was always frustrating to me too. W is a huge comfort nurser and sometimes we'd nurse for must of the day and to see the actual number of hours always made it worse. It's like knowing you're tired and seeing you only got 3 hours 30 minutes. It just pisses you off. Sorry you're bf your day away. I'm here with you in solidarity.

Ok so W actually has an ear infection and one of my biggest tip offs was he was acting so unlike himself. He doesn't usually cry unless there's and reason and yesterday he was inconsolable. If it continues you MAY want to check with your pediatrician. Fx it's just babies being babies.
This kid... We were up thirty minutes ago. He would only take one side. Now he's up again and fucking ripping my nipple apart by pulling and wiggling all over the place. Ugh, mama needs sleep.
In other news W woke me up starving and as soon as we're mid feed he took the biggest crap. The sound was horrible (it had been about a day and a half). He passed out while I fed him and now I'm questioning the intelligence of waking him up to change. We put coconut oil on his butt every night but.... yeah I'm gonna have to go change him dang it. He looks so peaceful. Thank goodness we changed him into size 2 diapers recently.

That is the absolute worst.
A slept from 8-2, she nursed and is now asleep on me while I wait to transfer her back into her PNP. I know I'll be right back here in like 30 minutes after I lay her down.
We have been up at least every two hours tonight. I have no idea why this child is such a terrible sleeper, but I've tried every thing I know of to help him and nothing works. My daughter was the same way for her first year and I just don't know if I can do that again. Especially with the schedule my husband is currently on. Ugh!

Ooh I hate when they don't take the other side at night. For this very reason. It like "come on kid tank up give me another stretch". Hope you guys fell asleep soon aftee.
Fed E at 5:30ish and we both went to bed and then I just woke up to her screaming, not crying but like 0 to 60 screaming. So I ran in here, picked her up and she puked all over me. First time that has happened!

E does this a lot. Licks me, smiles at me instead of eating so I can't get mad, latches on then pulls back just to see how far mommy's nipple can stretch before ripping off, punch me and herself, etc. It's fun.

Had baby washed, massaged, dressed, fed, swaddled and in the bed by 8:30pm. He was passed out cold! Walked to dryer to get clothes came back he was up playing and OUT of the swaddle like nothing just happened. wtf?!
Little guy's sleep has been off the past few days. Up at 2, fell back asleep at 2:20. I tried to put him back in the crib so I could get one more hour of sleep before having to get ready to go to the airport. Nope. If he falls asleep again to the RnP he goes! I'll sleep on the couch what I can.
sunshinelady15 so jealous of mom's who can give their kids massages to get them to calm down. I tried it with W when he was fussy. He screamed bloody murder and looked at me like "WTF are you doing?"
W slept for 5.5 hours so I got a 4 hour block. We're now moving to the recliner as he will wake me up in exactly another 2 hours. At least he's consistent (3-4 hr block, 30 min feed, 2 hour sleep, 30 min feed, 1 hr sleep)
packmomma my sister is certified in infant massage so I had her show me how to do it with DD1. When she did it, it went great, but the first few times I did it she cried the whole time. I asked my sister and she said the key is to not do it when they are fussy, but to do it in the quiet alert stage.
I am going to hurt my dog. I have been trying to get M back to sleep for over an hour and he just burst in her and shook so his collar jingled loudly and woke her up I need to get one of those things that holds his collar tags together so they don't jingle. Ugh
+1 I have had this exact experience. Such a pita. Stunt they understand there is a baby sleeping! !!
I can't fall asleep so I'm searching the #weightlossjourney and #transformationtuesday hashtags on Instagram. Before and after photos are my guilty pleasure!
I haven't been around much lately and I miss you guys
I'm currently awake even though E is passed out bc it's so hot. My apartment building is ancient... so there can only either be air OR heat working. They turned off air conditioning today. So even though it was 80 degrees... there is no a/c available. We have our windows open but some asshole next door has a windchime and it is SO LOUD!
I really hope we get things figured out for the new apt. We got declined on Saturday bc I found out that discover had let someone open a credit card in my name in 2007... when I was 15. I filed a dispute. So now there's an alert on my credit report for potential fraud and the apt apparently thinks I've stolen my own identity. Wtf.
