Hi, ladies! I'm babysitting my friend's NB while she is working and even though I have two of my own, I have no freaking clue what I'm doing right now. Could you just outline your LO's "schedule", how much/often do they sleep, how much/often do they eat etc? I feel like this child is not sleeping at all and I hate to say it but I'm like, "Dude. Baby. You need to sleep."

Β 

Any other tips would be super helpful, and if anyone has experience with 3u3, I'd love some advice there too. It's been getting a little nuts around here.Β

    Hey SB!! I was wondering how today went for you! I'm bored and lurking so I will answer! Rhett eats every 2-3hrs and will probably sleep 30 minutes to an hour between most feedings and if I'm lucky I might get a good 2-2.5hr nap once during the day. GL! I hope it gets easier for you!

    Oh hi, adorable minions! Yeah, kdm, she was eating every hour or so, 1-2oz at a time but she's pretty small (like 8lbs) so I think that's normal? Anyway, she was sleeping like you had said Rhett is so that's good. Freaking exhausting though!

    Hehe! Thank you! Oh yea its soo exhausting and I just have my two. I couldn't imagine a third being thrown into the mix. Do you or her mom have some sort of carrier or something to use? I swear that has been the biggest lifesaver ever!

    Yeah I have an Ergo I was going to strap her in if need be. I didn't cook today but I will have to tomorrow so I will definitely have to use it then.

    Simon and Ruby have been pretty great. I'm trying not to rely on the tv (trying not to go into "survival mode") but it does make it a lot easier if I put on Super Why.Β

    Oh man the tv has been my saving grace, especially with my DF gone. It is getting easier now that we have a decent routine. I hope thats the case for you as well. Are you keeping her for now on or is it just a temporary favor?Β

    I'm keeping her from now on, unless she deems me a terrible baby sitter. Big Smile
