Nightly Check in

NikkiD522 · January 2014

Remember those? Well I could probably still do it every night...

We're trying to transition LO into his crib from our bed and I've literally gotten up 10 times in the past hour to try various methods to get him back to sleep. He finally fell asleep.. On his tummy... And now I can't fall asleep bc I'm going into his room every 5 minutes to make sure he's breathing. So.. Anyone else up? Anyone have any words of comfort to ease my mind so I can get to sleep?

@petey1106 Ooh .. night owls. I like it! We went out twice this week- once for NYE and then for my work holiday party.. Probably the most in over a year lol.

Did you have fun?

I'm up. LO has slept for about an hour and a half since she went down 4.5 hours ago. Ughhhh.

NikkiD522 · January 2014

@kwrecks :-( sorry you've been up so much! These babies have no idea how valuable sleep can be.. Lol

MitsB707 · January 2014

I'm up. No idea why though. Everyone else is asleep! Guess I'll try to go back to bed or start pinning things on Pinterest, lol. Hope you ladies get some rest!

I wouldnt worry if he has good head control when he rolls on to his tummy. My lo does not yet. I Wish my lo loved sleep as much as I do! Mason was fussing and didnt want to be shhhushed back to sleep, so he's eating and I'm praying he goes back down!

I'm up too. 3am feedings all week. I guess she's growing or something. You are doing great transitioning LO! It isn't easy but everyone will rest better once LO gets the hang of it. As for you worrying... Not sure how to help you there... I check on LO a few times between when I put her down and when I actually go to bed. It's for my own ease of mind. I've started to recognize her types of breathing and movements on the monitor though and am more relaxed about the noises she makes. Just keep it up!! It takes a little time, but you will be glad you stuck with it.

I'm so sorry it's been such a rough transition! I wish I had advice, but that was the one change that my LO did great with (moving from PNP napper in our room to crib in her room), and I have no idea why. Anyway, I'm up for a feeding. Usually I would just stay up, but I didn't go to bed until after midnight (stupid since LO fell asleep at 9), so I'm hoping to get some more sleep. We'll see what LO thinks about that...

Im up i cant get comy with my son laying on my arm and he freaks out if i move

LiylaRae · January 2014

I'm up. Lo just nursed and is back to sleep and I can't seem to fall asleep. Boo. Sorry your transition isn't going well. We tried to transition LO a while back and it went terrible so we haven't tried since. She is still in the rnp but she is getting too big for it. I just don't think I'm ready to put her in her crib at night.

MyBaby2013 · January 2014

We are still going through our regression, so yep we are up again! Our transition has been rough also. We have LOs crib in our room now to make it easier on my mind and his attachment. I can Physically here him breathing (he also has started only tummy sleeping) and we have the AngelCare monitor going. I don't worry as much anymore! It's gets easier OP I promise! Hopefully soon we will all, LOs included, be STTN ! GL

Revez · January 2014

I'm up every night again. On the bright side I think we mastered drowsy but awake, for today at least. It'll probably never work again so I don't know why I'm getting excited.

I'm sorry the transition isn't going great.

JaymeMac · January 2014

Lo decided to start off his day an hour early...I am up. /:)

CourtJack · January 2014

Piper was up at 5:30. This is after two night wakings. She was starving each time. So I'm guessing growth spurt, although I'm letting myself get all paranoid that my milk isn't doing it for her anymore. I guess we'll see how tonight plays out.

CourtJack · January 2014

Oh and I'm sorry about the transition. I had three nights of hell with LO when we moved her. Give LO a few nights to settle in and figure out that it's an ok place to sleep

maybe use a lovey that smells like you?

kwrecks · January 2014

I don't even know how many times we were up last night. I stopped counting at 6. Im so tired I can't see straight. This sleep regression is seriously kicking our butt. I really don't know what to do if it lasts much longer.

NikkiD522 · January 2014

Thanks ladies for the words of encouragement :-) I finally dozed off around 415 to wake up to LO crying at 445.. I caved and just brought him to bed and we slept til now.. Well.. He woke up at 730 but I just threw a boob over lol.

@mgg242 our longest stretch was 4 hours too - I feel your pain :-(

@courtjack I tried the glow snail (whatever it's called) last night I thought it went well... Well.. For a half hour lol. Maybe I'll try a lovey.. He just hasn't attached to one specific one yet. Thanks!

PB102012 · January 2014

I hope it gets better for you soon! I wouldn't worry too much about tummy sleeping, as long as your LO has good head control they should be ok. My LO has been a tummy sleeper since the beginning and I was terrified the first night, but she has always done fine. It gets easier I promise.

KQuinonez · January 2014

I miss these so much. I used to always read them while I was up but was too tired to posy anything. DS was up about 12:30 to eat and then slept 6 glorious hours. I do not know what to do with myself! I will say he usually sleeps this long but I Have to get up around 4 to get ready for work. However on the weekends its like he knows I am home and wants the extra time with me.

kkay1982 · January 2014

Up 6 times between 10 and 6. Now sitting here with a naked baby (diapered) attached to my boob. He's been nursing so much his diaper leaked. I hope this doesn't last too any more nights.

I can't count how many times we were up. He was a handful last night. And we are totally not night owls! I try to be in bed by 9 or 10 lol. Looks like I won't be getting anything done today besides napping when LO naps!

Right there with you! I have always gone to bed early, even before I was preggo. During my first tri I was so tired that I slept 13 hours straight, every night.
I hope we both get naps in today! My LO is still ok with sleeping (*knocks on wood*), but my AF is back with a cramp vengeance so I plan on laying on the couch while she is sleeping.

Bunnyfer · January 2014

I am up almost every night....I work night shift so I get home at midnight.....Always up for rousing post of others awake

PTmama199 · January 2014

Well we got over the 4 month regression/growth spurt and for a week getting into a routine waking up every 2-3. Well this weekend we are back to waking up every 1 boy if I'm lucky. Hopefully with the regular work week we will get back on track. I feel like a zombie.
