earlier bedtime - miss my baby :(

em_713

Okay, this is probably an odd post, but I started putting G to bed at 8 ish instead of 9:30 or 10 and I've noticed I start missing her at night. I really wanted to steal her into my bed last night, but I knew she'd wake up. Besides her Dad let her fall off the bed last week so I'm a bit nervous. Anyone feel like this? I know it's better for her and for us so we get more alone time, but I love my little bug!

Also, I've been trying to wean bfing and I think that might be adding to my saddness. I've been doing morning and night feedings only and my supply still seems to be there. I can't get myself to give up anymore yet, but really want to be done when I go back to work.

Aww that is rough.  I feel that way every once in a while about LO, but most of the time I just enjoy having my space in the bed.  She became a very restless sleeper as she got bigger!  I bet a lot of those feelings are coming from the weaning process, I have heard that a lot of moms get very sad or even depressed.  I hope everything works out for you!

LO goes to sleep around 6:30/7 and during the school year (I teach) I usually get home around 5. It's really hard. DH was working overtime and only saw LO on weekends for months on end...

lol.  My baby boy goes to bed now at 7:30 and sleeps until 6am!!  Im loving it since by other 2 werent like that.  I often sit and stare at him sleeping....but its good for him, and gives me time to relax with my husband.  Enjoy it!

It's definitely very hard when they go to sleep so early. DS' bedtime is around 630pm (he STTN until 6am - so that part is very nice!).

I work 3 days a week and get home at 430. So on those days I only see him for about 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening. My poor DH only sees him for about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening - 5 days a week.

I just makes the weekends (and my 2 days off) that much sweeter. And just remind yourself how much the LO's are growing and learning each and everyday - their bodies need that much rest.
