Can we start the checkin early?

jrsmama2010 · November 2012

I haven't even been to sleep yet. I'm getting aggravated. J fell asleep in the car so he's been whining bc he's in his crib. L keeps wakin up every time I try to lay him down ANYWHERE! He just sucked down a 4oz bottle but apparently he let some run out of his mouth bc my shirt was wet.
Nvm J just passed out.

Yes let's start the check in, I too haven't been to bed yet even though everyone is asleep in my house. DS still wants to eat so I'm hoping that means another STTN event like last night.

Ugh DS is still wide awake. I've been trying to make him go to sleep since 10. He did fall asleep in my arms and once i put him down, he woke up. He doesn't want my boob so I know he's not hungry. He's in the swing now and he's fussing. I'm so tired.

GinnyJ2012 · November 2012

On attempt number... um I lost count to get J to sleep in his crib for more than 5 min. Ugh I'm exhausted and its not even 1 am yet. I don't understand why he won't sleep in the crib I've tried all the tricks hes fed swaddled clean diaper slight incline... I'm about to give up.

Ds has been fighting sleep all night. He's gassy and fussy and just won't sleep. I'm in for it :

Getting ready to head to bed now... B has been asleep since about 10:20pm (est)... took an hour to get him down - poor guy was overtired and just couldn't wind down - totally my fault, it was a busy day

Tomorrow he has his 2 month appt/shots... another

Hopefully he sleeps through till about 6am so that we can get the day started right.

DS was asleep at 9 and was up at 12, per his usual schedule. He hardly napped today and had a bath, so he was passed out by 9. I just put him down in his crib, he only had 1oz of a bottle and BF for awhile too. I think
b/c he's stuffy has been coughing he didn't want as much bottle.

jrsmama2010 · November 2012

FWIW if you have another place for LO to sleep I wouldn't worry about the crib sleeping. J didn't sleep there until he was 9 months old and weaned from me.
Also I don't know how it works bc it didn't for us. One of the guy Dh works with said to make the crib smell like you or YSO.

We just got a 3h45min stretch tonight after feeling like we'd never get past 20 mins. We supplement, so he gets changed and swaddled between BFing and his bottle. We put a heating pad in the crib while he has his bottle, then put him down asleep. Inclined crib. White noise. One dim light left on. And we keep a hand on his chest after we put him down so he feels cuddled, until we are sure he is asleep and not startled awake from putting him down. And then one of us stays in the room with him and does the hand on chest thing every time he stirs and starts to make a noise, before he has a chance to really wake up.

The first night DH had to shush him every few minutes for about 25 minutes after the initial 20 min sleep but then got another 45 mins or so out of him. A few nights later we got an hour plus last night and then this huge stretch tonight. Who knows, tomorrow night it may totally fall apart again [knock on wood it doesn't!] but that's what worked for us tonight.

I think the key is being in the room with him. But damn the floor is hard! We did discover the giant teddy bear we have in there makes a great pillow! LOL.

Good luck in your quest. :]

It's 12:30 here and I'm up for first motn feeding. I was really hungry early yesterday evening and ate a bunch of crap and now I have a stomachache.

ellebee2 · November 2012

It's almost midnight here, have been trying unsuccessfully to get DD to sleep since 10. She barely napped today so I think she is just over tired. I am feeding her now and hoping she goes down for a few hours after this as I can barely keep my eyes open. So. Freaking. Tired.

CdnFarmGirl08 · November 2012

usually I'm not up long enough to post here, but apparently N is fighting sleep this evening. He slept from 8-1:30 as usual, but refuses to go back. He is wide awake. I finally put him in the swing with the water sound effect to try to make him sleepy, but so far it's not working.

Ugh...I need my sleep!

LouRN09 · November 2012

3:22 here and just fed DS now rocking back to sleep. Tomorrow well, today is my first day back at work, with my alarm set to go off at 5:30 so I can pump. Yuck. Sent DS to DC for a few hours yesterday as a trial run... He did great but I sure was one hot mess!! I'm making DH take the boys to DC this week.

lowkeysbride · November 2012

Ugh, up nursing at 330 again! I don't know what is going on... LO was giving me anywhere from 7 to 9 hour stretches and now he's back to 5 again! I don't know what is going on but I don't like it! I've been staying up a couple of hours past when I put him down so I can pump and not wake up so engorged, but that means I'm only averaging a few hours of sleep a night... Not cool LO, not cool!

Kris2011RN · November 2012

It's 3 am here and I am feeding ds. I don't know what time he went to bed. Ds was so fussy yesterday afternoon and night, I guess it just wore me out!

I got so mad at dh I called him at 5: 30 asking when he would be home, he told me around 7. I told him I needed him home earlier to help out with DS because he was crying non stop. He didn't get home till 7: 30. He thought I said it would be fine for him to work later.

Stasi · November 2012

Well, I'm up by choice to nurse my baby who isn't putting weight on all that great. See post above this thread. Uggggg!

hmp1 · November 2012

Leo was down for the night at 9 but I stayed up until 11. He woke at 3:30 to eat. Why did I stay up, ugg. Then I decided to change him because I thought he might leak if I didnt. His diaper wasnt that wet and I am sure it would have made it to 6 or 7 when he wakes again. Now I have an awake baby. Tonight is full of poor decisions.

Bighair12 · November 2012

It is almost 330 and LO is nursing. Tonight was night number 2 in the crib. She didnt have any issue going down again which is really nice. Though I once again cried for the first half hour. Whim good luck tomorrow.

kellelle01 · November 2012

I'm exhausted. I've been up four times with DS tonight. He had his 2 month shots yesterday and so I'm blaming that. He's wanted to nurse every time and goes right back to sleep, but I'm so tired and have both boys at hone with me all day today.

jenn_a_bee · November 2012

It's 3:40 here and I'm up for the second time with N. She went down at 11 and was up and fed at 12:30 and was back down at 1:15 and here we are again. I'm so tired and wishing she would just sleep for even a 3 hour stretch

FX that she goes down quickly after this feeding.

2poodles2Love · November 2012

It's 540 am and I'm nursing DS. He gave me a 5 hour stretch and now a 3 hour

Gray99 · November 2012

2:45 here, we've been up since 2. Got another 4.5 hr stretch so I can't complain. Looks like we'll be staying up past our usual hour since G thinks his hands are both interesting/funny and something we should be talking and cooing about.

Almost six. I seriously don't understand how BFing moms deal with their kiddos sleeping long stretches. It is a serious milksplosion over here, and I am tired of sleeping on my back. The baby sleeps better than I do, and I'm a little jealous. Sigh.

It will get better! C sleeps 8 to 10 hours at night and I don't even feel full when I wake up anymore. Your body will regulate when baby gets a predictable thing going for a few days. :] You'll be able to sleep comfortably in any way!
