Re: MOTN check-in
How old is LO: 4 months
How many times a night are you up: at least 2, sometimes 3.
Does SO take any of the feedings: no. It's way easier to just nurse her in bed since she's still in our room.
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained: I don't...I doze. I figure that way at least I'm not missing all that sleep time. ETA Also I worry the noise or light from netflix or anything else would wake up babe more than I want her to be woken up!
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep: Maybe about 15 mins each time.
We are as well
How old is LO
16+ was
How many times a night are you up
3-4 been particularly bad lately. Hopefully this is the wakeful period and not the new normal.
Does SO take any of the feedings
During my stretch off, it's all me. While I work (overnights) he does.
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained
Been loving hgtv shows on Netflix! Also bump and play hay day.
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep
I am my own worst enemy, I swear I am unable to go right back to sleep. Never have been able to. I'm up for at least an hour inbetween. LO sleeps right away.
How old is LO Almost 5 months
How many times a night are you up Usually just once, sometimes twice. His long stretch has gotten MUCH longer this week (10 hours last night!) so I have my fingers crossed that we're getting close to STTN.
Does SO take any of the feedings No. It's way easier to pop him on the boob than to heat a bottle.
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained Nothing. I doze while he nurses. If I do anything to wake myself up, I'll never fall back to sleep.
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep He usually falls asleep nursing. Entire feeding, from the time he fusses to the time I put him back in his crib is about 1/2 hour. It takes me approximately 30 seconds after that to fall back to sleep.
I'm with you ladies as well!
How old is LO = almost 4 1/2 months (see ticker for exact age!)
How many times a night are you up = usually 1 sometimes 2
Does SO take any of the feedings = My DH works night shift so unless it is his night off I'm on duty. Even when he is off lots of times it's easier for me to just take the shift anyway
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained = play fruit ninja on my Kindle or look at FB
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep = AJ usually falls back to sleep while taking the bottle (last night he didn't). I usually follow soon after. I'm one of those people who can fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow. I find that I sleep a lot lighter now than I used to but at least I do get sleep.
How many times a night are you up: Usually twice. Once somewhere between 1 and 3, and then again around 5 or 6.
Does SO take any of the feedings: No, I SAH and I'm BF. Makes so much more sense for me to do it all.
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained: FB, tb, news updates, and I have this puzzle app that I get sucked into.
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep: I used to fall back asleep right away but I seem to be getting worse at that. Last night it took me almost an hour, ugh. Maybe I'm doing toooo much to stay awake. I should probably try a few tech free feeds.

How old is LO
She'll be 4 months next week.
How many times a night are you up
2 times, one around 1-2 and then at 4:30-5.
Does SO take any of the feedings
No, she's breast fed. I just bring her into my bed and nurse her.
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained
I Bump and check FB, sometimes I don't and just doze while she eats.
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep
She goes back to sleep in the next 10- 15 minutes, I doze off right after I put her back on the PnP.
How old - 4.5 mos
How many times - You can say once or twice. She wakes up at 230, again between 530-6. After that I get up, pump and go to work. Sometimes she wakes up around 4 and we put her in the swing.
Does SO feed - He does the first one on most nights actually since he gets to sleep in a bit in the morning. I usually take the early morning bc my alarm is set to 615 anyway (who needs an alarm when they have a baby?)
What do you do to stay awake - Nothing since I dont do the 230 feeding.
How long - She generally goes right back to sleep after the 230 feeding so SO is not up for more than 30 mins even if he needs to change her. The 6am wake is a bit more tricky but having the swing helps. I put her in the swing and she is usually out by the time I finish pumping.
4 months Saturday
Up about twice but lately with the sleep regression it's been anyone's guess.
I'm ebf-ing but DH will try the paci before getting me up. He gets home from work late and is usually just awake.
If we do a feeding he'll go back down. I'll play in my phone for a few minutes then go to sleep.
I tried an earlier bedtime tonight and it helped putting him down in the crib but we are still up 3.5 hours later for a feeding.
How many times a night are you up: It was twice, now once for the past few days. The one time has been around 3am and then the next night it was 1am. So, yeah, no real consistency yet.
Does SO take any of the feedings: Yes, he always takes the first one of the night (unless he was out super late or something which is rare).
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained: I'm really not up that long. Usually start to finish I'm up for 20-30 minutes and since I'm bottle feeding, I can't really do much with my hands like I could when I BF'd (so no MOTN bumping for me unfortunately).
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep: After the feeding, I usually rock her for 5 minutes or so and then she's out.
Super happy for you that D is out of it now! Let's hope for a good long calm stretch now!
Me.. Boooo lol
How old is LO:
4 months yesterday
How many times a night are you up:
It is so off the wall right now. Anywhere between 1 and 5.
Does SO take any of the feedings:
On the weekends he is on duty.
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained:
Basically all social media site.
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep
Her about 1-2 hours, me about 2-3 hours.
How old is LO - 4 and a half months.
How many times a night are you up - usually just once. But on weekends when we want to sleep later usually we have a shove a paci in the mouth in the early morning.
Does SO take any of the feedings - we try and do every other day. I get up for work at 530 and he gets up at 7 so I think it's only fair that he helps a little. He also handles early wake ups when I am getting ready.
What do you do to stay awake/ keep entertained - I just stare off into space because I am tired and don't want any light to stimulate LO.
How long does it take for you and baby to go back to sleep - baby right away... me a while. This is when the phone comes out to surf Facebook or play bingo (I'm a nerd but I love bingo and it helps me get to sleep).
