Putting baby back down during night after feeding

Clyde013Clyde013 member
edited August 2013 in July 2013 Moms
During the first nightly feeding E goes right down. Like she eats and is out cold. When she wakes up a second time she eats and is up for 1.5-2 hours after. I rock her, shush her, sing to her, etc. she will fall asleep in my arms then when I go to put her down her eyes pop open and shes up. This feeding starts around 4:40am. nothing I'm doing seems to get her back to sleep any sooner. Anyone have advice?

    Yup- same here. I usually let her sleep with me after the early morning feeding or we are up for a long time.

    This rarely happens to me, but i have a whole process. I feed LO 2/3 of what she will eat, burp her, change her diaper, re-swaddle her, let her finish eating, burp her then lay her down. She usually knocks out or at least is halfway there from finishing eating and/or the last burping.

    Also i keep as little light on as possible during all of it and try not to talk to her at all, she gets that its still night time.

    I also do everything by night light during the night. No interaction, either, like others have said (other than some kisses!). I change her diaper, feed, burp, and let her lay on my chest for about 10 minutes. During that time, I play the "clothes dryer" sound on my iPhone. Then I transfer her to the RnP and put the phone close. The sound shuts off after 15 minutes, and we are both back to sleep by then. Good luck!

    Sometimes this happens.

    I've tried to make it a point of holding Lo for 10-15 mins after they fall asleep. It's supposed to be something about their sleep cycle. Good much, because I know it's frustrating!

    Yeah I hold her about 10-15 mins after a feeding and she doesn't wake up. :)

    This is what I do and it works 90% of the time. It's hard though, especially when she gives me one of her big, gummy smiles. I just want to smoosh and play with her.

    I do this before I switch the baby to the other boob. It works through the night but not for the 5 am feeding. I think she's rested and just wants to be up by that time. My H will put her on his chest, it takes about an hour to get her back to sleep.

    I agree with this also. She is rested at this time and her eyes are wide open!

    This is the feeding we have trouble with. I shouldn't complain bc she sleeps through the night up until that 5 am. And she sleeps most of the day except for eating and little awake spurts. But that 5 am that is her longest awake period. And I am so not a morning person. But I guess I should learn to be and enjoy the sunrise with her. :)

    Something similar happened to us last night around 11pm. LO fell asleep on me three times and as soon as I moved or transferred LO to the crib- LO's eyes popped open each and every time. Fortunately my husband was able to put LO to bed... but this itself took 45 minutes.

    Oh, I also wanted to add... The heating pad has been a godsend. I turn it on and put it in her bed when I start to feed. I think moving from the warmth of mommy to a cold bed is shocking for them. When I pre-warm it for her, she seems to settle in much easier. Obviously, I remove the heating pad right before I put her in.
