Up feeding Natalie for what feels like forever. My kid never goes down before 2am and I have no idea why. I've tried multiple times to put her down as usual after she has fallen asleep at the boob but it only lasts maybe 20min and we are back at it again.
There have been two times she has gone down at 930pm, unless she sleeps on me, but that's it. I'm sick so I really would like to sleep now and would really like her to not sleep in me so I can sleep.
Feeding Cam at the moment. He turned 2months old yesterday!!
I'm extra tired because I cried before bed...we watched "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World"...thought it would be funny bc Steve carrel is in it. Turns out, not funny. Sad and depressing as fuck. Not good for emotional/pp women. ....he's making it up in the office episodes I'm watching right now.
Nursing Kara. We tried to put her down at 11 when she was asleep in DH's arms. No dice. She never sleeps before 1am... But she hasn't been fussy the past few nights, at least!

I can't watch anything other than comedy either or I bawl like a baby. We have three episodes of resurrection DVR'd that I refuse to watch still. I really wanted to get into it. But. Too. Sad.
I'm here just keeping LO up after a feed. She's all squeaky and squirmy so it may be awhile.
I am up, nursing E for the first MOTN feeding. She did pretty good and had a 3hr stretch, i am really hoping for more than a 2 he stretch of sleep. I am getting more and more jealous of everyone who is getting 4+
LO keeps stirring then falling back asleep. Stop faking me out and either sleep or wake up to eat, child!!
@novelblessings I don't remember/can't see (mobile) how old your LO is, but mine used to not go to sleep before 1am. About 8-9 weeks he started finally staying down after 10pm or so. There's hope!! Just keep trying to lay him down each night.
I don't know what is up with skyla but she hasn't slept hardly at all today and now she won't go back to sleep. I think she might be gassy but who knows.
Checking in! How is everyone!? I was sort of mia over this wknd... I actually went into work for some hours and spent tons of time outside in the warm weather!! Too bad it's going to snow Tuesday...wahh! I'm up feeding now, Amelia went from 8:30-2:30, what a good girl!!! She did the same Friday night.. I don't know if I'm going to really get this lucky at only 3wks but I'll take it when I can get it!!! Hope everyone has fast feedings and gets back to bed soon!!
Isla is sleeping in her crib for the first time tonight. She went 5 hours between feedings for the first night stretch, instead of her usual 6, but I'll take it.
@mrsdahamm Thanks. DD is 5 weeks. It's just super annoying that we start bedtime at 8/830pm every night and it goes on for hours.
Up again. I think I slept 30 min and DH grabbed DD for me, for once. He wasn't very nice about it though. I get that he has to work, but he never really helps at night.
Ugh! In awake but LO is asleep. He had me on his schedule of 11 PM fussy time & midnight bedtime for the first 5.5 weeks so now for the last 3 days he's been asleep by 9:30-10 & I'm still wide awake until midnight. I need to get myself tired earlier so I can get 4.5 hour stretches of sleep too! Hopefully I can fall asleep soon because that 2:30 feeding is going to come quick.
I'm here. I'm glad LO is more efficient on the boob. I remember in the beginning how much tickling I had to do just so he could have a decent meal. Now he slurps away on his own!
I'm here, unfortunately. We are still in the hospital and are supposed to go home in the morning but I spiked a fever last night around 11 that broke within half an hour and now we don't know if that will happen. What is killings is that they won't allow me into the nicu to feed her. I just tried pumping since my milk came in but I suck at pumping and only got 7 ounces. I don't want her bottle fed and we really are trying to avoid formula. They promised not to wake her so I am giving my boobs a rest and going to try pumping again.
I am devastated. I know I haven't done my full birth story yet but we may have a serious medical malpractice case on our hands. I am falling apart mentally and emotionally and just want to be at home with my sweet baby girl.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me. You made my wedding day complete.
Just got home from the ER after 8 hours. P was up and hungry when I got home and as much as I love MH he was shoving a pacifier in her mouth to "hold her off for a while." This is why I was tempted to bring her with me!
Up and nursing. Been a restless night of sleep with lo, but this is the first time we've been up to nurse since 11...so theoretically she should've slept this whole time (5 hours)..oh well
Here again ! Second MOTN feed ! My little girl turned a month old on Saturday , I may or may not had a little break down . It just makes me so sad she's growing so fast !
@saisongbird you've had a loong hospital stay ! I hope everything with you and LO are good so you can get home asap !

I'm here, up nursing. I was sleepy and slow during his diaper change and the poor little guy peed on himself...sorry buddy! Hopefully he goes right to sleep after this. Mommy is tired!
It's 4:30 and this is the first time DD has woke up. She went to sleep at about 10:30. Of course I woke at 1 because the windows were open and some asshole let their dog out and it was barking. Then I woke up at 3:30 wondering why DD hadn't woke up yet so I had to check on her to make sure she was still breathing. So apparently my one month old sleeps better than I do! #momproblems!
@Jt7dreamz, makes you feel like a crazy person, doesn't it?! I woke up, went to the bathroom then laid back down and tried to go to sleep. But I kept counting how long it'd been since she last ate, how many hours she's been asleep...and thinking OMG she must be dead. So alas, I got up and had to go in her room to check in her. 8-}
In my zombie state at last feeding (2am) I didn't double check the cloth diaper and pee was leaked. One day I will get this... On a good note Colton is nursing instead of having pumped milk. So much easier! I still need to pump when he is done
Can I just rave about my new favorite thing?? The Baby Brezza Formula Pro!!! Soooo it's pretty much a Keurig for formula and it's the most fantastic thing in the whole wide world. Bottle is mixed and perfectly warmed in 3secs.
It makes these late night/early am feedings a breeze.
Also, Cam makes the cutest noises when he's eating now. That also helps get through the wee hours of feedings!

Re: Roll call
Fallyn took a longer evening nap now she's fighting sleep a bit.
Hopefully she makes it a king stretch tonight
Me: 28 DH: 27
Hopefully she 'll stay down for a few hours.

Looks like it's an eat-every-two-hours night tonight. I miss the three to four hour stretches of sleep.

I remember putting her down in the pnp at 10. And her sleeping. The next thing i know she is next to me screaming for food.
I don't remember picking her out of the pnp.
@saisongbird i am sorry you are going through this. Hopefully you all can go home soon.
@AshleyO925 i hope all is well!
