Well, I guess I'll start. Last night she STTNfor the first time. I was so happy I nearly cried even though my boobs almost exploded. Tonight, she is up after 1.5 hours. So...sigh. She's 12 weeks now and I was hoping she'd be normally sleeping more at night by now, but I'm lucky to get 3 straight. Don't get me wrong, even that is a HUGE improvement. I just thought by now she'd be sleeping like a big girl! Though I also thought we'd be done with colic by now too...

Sorry for the rant! Just sleepy I think.

Blast it! Hang in there mama!!! Some day, right? I'm looking forward to the first time I wake up and it's morning and I've just slept through the night because my LO did too.

Sakura16 · April 2014

Thanks @candypantsls‌ ! It was amazing the one time it happened, once I made sure she was breathing. I also felt bad because I totally woke up DH...ahhh she did it! Granted this was 4am but it was 7 hours of sleep so I'm counting it! I hope you also get that wonderful surprise soon and that it isn't a one time thing!

My LO slept through the night too! I was amazed. I think its because he doesn't feel good though. I'm supposed to be cleaning the house, but I'm so overwhelmed with it I'm being lazy. Plus my toe hurts, I moved the coffee table and it ran my foot over bending my nail back and cracking it. It's kind of gross looking.

Congrats on your LO sleeping through the night! Sorry she's up already tonight though. You can do it.

@Sakura16‌ hopefully it will start happening more! M slept through for a week+ then went right back to motn night feeds. So far it's just one wake up the last week, so I'll take it.

@SandFHasse‌ - ouch!!! That's sounds horrible and a great reason to sit back and kick your feet up!

Ahh up again! Each time I come to get her she's eating her hands and growling...ugh growth spurts! At least she's calm at night feedings these days. Used to be a 2-4 hour calm down ritual at least once per night. So I suppose I shouldn't complain! I hope we all are STTN soon!

Levi slept 5hours for the first time in weeks! Yay! I'm reaaaaally hoping when I put him back down it's for longer than an hour.

What's even more odd is that he actually slept a lot this evening. Nap from 3-4:30 ( in the car) 5:30-6 (In a carrier) and slept 8-9:30 (in the car) then I had him fed and asleepby 10:15. Too bad I can't make a 2 hour drive every day do he'll nap.

Ok scratch that, I jinxed myself. Just spent the last 2 hours dealing with meltdown baby. After nursing tie I'm dry and changing a million diapers, I had to dance her around the room singing Happy a million times to get her to fall asleep. Now I'm rocking her until she is super out before trying to lower her into the crib...stupid jinx.

We kinda STTN. Went down about 9:45. In her mini crib but that only lasted 25 min and she woke up and did her normal routine. I picked her up, got her back to sleep and put her back into the mini crib. I think that lasted about 15 minutes. Got her back to sleep and put her down but she was up immediately and that ended that. She slept on me after that. But from start to finish, she slept 7.5 hours! The wake ups were brief and without diaper change or feeding so I'm lumping it all together. Sure that means tonight is going to suck!!!

I'm going up start bf again tomorrow and hope the dairy is out of my system enough. I'm trying soy formula right now after doing the allergy kind (no dairy or soy). She doesn't like it as much but she seems okay on it so I'm hoping I only have to cut dairy. I miss bf! I hate pumping! And my supply is taking a major hit since I can't pump as much.

We saw the pedi today and he is out of ideas for sleep. But knows we need to get her sleeping on her own before she gets to an age (3-4 months and she is now 12w) where this is what she expects (sleeping on me). He did give me info for a sleeping coach. But she costs $250 for two hour home study! Geesh! I think I should just try to get a mommy friend over here and see if there is anything else I can do.

@Rojovol34‌ thanks! It helps that I'm not back at work yet but I will be in a month so that is when this will get really difficult! But I only go for 3 weeks then I'm on summer break. I can't imagine still doing this is August when she is 7 months but hope I'm not jinxing myself either.

Hmvbaby14 · April 2014

Levi slept for another 3.5 hours! I really hope this is not a fluke but the start of a pattern.

@precious72381‌ FX cutting out dairy helps a ton! Keep us updated!

Sakura16 · April 2014

@precious72381 cutting out dairy helped us a ton! Hope it does the same for you!

Boo-urns, I've been up every hour. And every hour she needs a diaper change and acts like she's starving. It's cruel after our first STTN but the only thing I can think of is a growth spurt. So. Tired. Boo.

@hmvbaby14 Hoping Levi keeps it up!!!! FX for another good night!
