It's happened to me a couple of times with middle of the night feedings. There is no chance of lo falling or anything but I want to stay awake and fall asleep in bed!
Do you fall asleep? if not, how do you stop yourself!?
I FF feed and my DS and I both feel asleep while feeding the other night.. He didnt fuss or cry when the bottle feel out of his mouth.. I woke up about 10 minutes later and was freaked out.. He was fine and so i was.. Now mind you this was his 4 am feeding.. It hasnt happened since.
yeah, but only for a few seconds, I think if you are really tired on in a very sleepy part of sleep cycle you cannot realistically stay awake and not wake up LO all the way awake and alert
I definitely nod off during my 3AM feeding. I think only once so far I have actually fell asleep and woke back up and he was fine. Doc told me to use the boppy as everyone falls asleep it is just important not to drop. Damn prolactins.
I fall alseep almost every night. I nurse in bed at night, either laying down or sitting up with him on the boppy. I have woken up two hours later and we are both out & the boob is out with milk all over L....poor little guy!
