LNCI starting us off

This and that · February 2013

I went to bed a little earlier to get a head start on sleep while DH had Baby H.
Just woke up to him crying, He COMPLETELY soaked through his diaper, sleeper and swaddle. I def have a well hydrated super soaker on my hands. It was 23 hours since his last diaper change. Hoping I can figure out a good night time diaper. I already went up a size at night. Any other suggestions?

Changing the diaper more than every 23 hours might help :P..Lol jk, stupid mobile. Have you tried different brands? Other than that I have no suggestions.

It's almost 10 here on the west coast, I'm headed to bed now. A was a little clammy before bed and has been sleeping long stretches today, hoping she's not coming down with something.

Hopefully everyone has nice, restful nights!

I use Pampers Baby Dry for night time. I like them well. When he was bordering between size 1 and 2, I also went a size up at night... but now he's only in twos.

Cu didn't eat a lot while at grandma's today so I'm on standby in case he decides to nurse tonight.... so far, he doesn't seem interested in eating. He's like mama, don't mess with her sleep.

Hope everyone has restful nights! And happy babies!

It's 1:45 here in NY and I am still awake. LO was down at 9:45. I have him in a swaddle blanket tonight (miracle blanket I believe?). He's still on his side next to side of crib. Will see how that goes. Tomorrow I will try putting the towels between mattress and sheet. Didn't get a chance to do this tonight.

So far so good. He's stirred a few times but has gone right back to sleep.

As I mentioned in a PP I am headed back to work on Wednesday so I think my nerves/anxiety have the best of me tonight. I've broken out in hives all over my arms and back. : (

DH just called from Vegas to check in and I got to cry a little with him. I feel a bit better. Part of me is hoping Vincent fusses and needs mamma tonight. I wouldn't mind taking him into bed to cuddle tonight.

Hope all get a good night's sleep!

11:25 my kids are in bed DH is working out of town and mommas watching Teen Mom 2. Yes I need my adult indulgence....

It's 1:15 here. Since moving to crib, H has added this wake up/feed. I think it might be that he has usually busted out of his swaddle? Also, I never use a paci with him at night, don't know if that would help.

Any hoo, the sleep sacks I ordered have arrived. Little chunk grew out of the NB size. So hopefully that will help. Or else this is a phase! But I am wishing he'd go back to a good 6 or 7 hour stretch.

I hope everyone is having a good night! Kieannb, gotta love that you're keeping us company from the other coast!

jLeigh, if you by chance join us. Any update on your cousin? I'm sorry if you posted and I missed it.

Midnight here. It's been another rough night so far. Older DD was coughing up a lung again at bedtime tonight. We tried everything we could think of and finally just made her a bed next to ours again. I had my class tonight and DH said the baby screamed for almost 2 hours and wouldn't take a bottle for him. She took it from me after I got home with no problem but that meant I had to pump, and I didn't get a chance until 10:30 when I finally got DD1 down. Then right as I was finishing pumping the baby woke up to nurse. She probably didn't get much but fell asleep anyway. I'm super exhausted and not expecting a whole lot of sleep again tonight.

This growth spurt is bad enough on its own, but another sick kiddo just makes things that much worse...mobile frowny face.

CJ went to sleep at10 tonight and I followed his lead. We just finished another feeding and I am waiting to see if he really is down. I keep hearing little peeps, so Im not convinced its worth getting into bed just yet. I am tarting to get into panic mode. I have one week left to get everything organized and ready to go for my end of mat leave (I start work on Monday). I still need to get the house cleaned, the nursery finished, supplies purchased for day care, all the while enjoying my last week as much as possible. The good news is I teach and our first break is one week after I get back so it will be a nice little transition.

Hope everyone's LOs are sleeping well.

4:30. DH decided to help out a little tonight so this is actually the first time I had to get up. Kind of nice actually!

This and that, every 23 hours?! Lol, gotta love mobile. Pampers have worked the best for M. Whenever we tried Huggies they leaked. every. time. M is in size 2 now and will probably start in size 3 in a couple weeks.

ETA: Gargita, my cousin is still on bed rest in the hospital. They are giving the baby steroids and delaying labor as long as possible. Thanks for asking. I believe it will be any day now that she will deliver.

kieannb · February 2013

It's 1:30 and we are up. She didn't eat much today so I kind of expected it, but its not often we are up before 2:30 closer to 3. I'm hoping she does a nice long stretch after this.

Almost 5 here. I worked 5 to 9 laat night so I left 2 bottles for DH to give Hallie. Then realized I forgot my bottle and flange at home. So DH brought them in around 6 which is around when she needed her first bottle. She fell asleep. When they got home DH was waiting until she fussed for it but she never did. Then she ate before going to bed at 8 or 8:30.

Then woke up at 1:45 hungry...which she never does. And now at 4:45...which she always does!

Zoe-sorry you had a rough night! I hope DD feels better!

krissy- sorry you had to throw and extra feeding during your sleep time! At least she's sticking to her schedule. Lol

530 here, up pumping. Sunday we got our first long stretch, 11-730. She went down later than I would have liked because we were at my mom's all day. Last night I got her down at 930 and she woke up at 5. This is the perfect schedule for when I go back to work! I hope we can keep it up!

I always forget that mobile doesn't put the dash in there. Considering Baby H only slept every 2 to 3 hours as well, I kinda wish it was 23! ;
I did try did brands and moved him up a size for nights to see if it helped.I was using pampers swaddlers. I think I'll try pampers dry next. Thanks!
