On my bedside table is my phone, random toys DS1 has brought in, 2 empty water glasses & an empty water bottle- I'm too lazy to fill them up

@Skeemer‌ is pll good? I watched like 5 episodes and had a hard time getting into it

It's just okay IMO. It reminds me of a soap & it can be super goofy at times. But I watch it to pass the time. I've exhausted Mad Men & Desperate Housewives on Netflix. I'd love new suggestions if anyone has any.

I couldn't get into mad men either. Have you watched the vampire diaries? That's one of my favs, and it's always sunny in Philadelphia. I could watch that show over and over lol

Número uno 12:30 feeding, and the lovely ladies of London are on tv. Since DH didn't wake up for this feeding I'm gonna bother him wih a British accent all day tomorrow. Sleep deprivation for the win!

Big+Lil · July 2014

@Csltdk‌ Caroline Stansbury is my new role model. She is so fabulous.

Csltdk · July 2014

@Big+Lil‌ she is fab! That bitch Caprice just disrespected her with all this baby shower bonanza. I feel like taking etiquette lessons

ichamommy · July 2014

Why. Won't. He. Sleep.

Aimes33m · July 2014

We had been doing well at 3 hour (even a couple 4 hour!) nighttime feeding intervals. Tonight we're back to 2 hours. Ugh, I'm tired....

AMcLaws · July 2014

I'm awake. Having anxiety about my RCS, scheduled for 8 hours from now. Trying REALLY hard to keep calm. Hoping and praying I can get through it without having a panic attack this time, so that I can truly enjoy meeting my squish for the first time. (I was such a mess with DD1 that I glanced at her and then begged for Valium).

Huahine · July 2014

Feeding station - Breastfriend pillow, water glass and robe. I wake up drenched from the night sweats and get chilled.

What are you all doing about night sweats? After soaking my bed for two nights, I'm now sleeping on a chucks pad, but my top sheet still gets soaked. And then it is cold and damp ehen I crawl back in from a feeding.

marsalisails · July 2014

Reporting for duty! We had our first successful MOTN feed. It took an hour and a half but we did it! Just checking TB quickly because I took advantage of being able to send her to the nursery tonight. I felt a little guilt doing that, but it is my last night to get sleep for probably the next year, so I did it anyway. I figure I have until 4:30, 5 the latest, which is fine by me!

Not having the issue of soaking the bed, but could you try sleeping on towels that you could then change out?

mrscurlygurl · July 2014

I hate the fake-out...baby falls asleep on boob, wait a bit, put her in RnP, get back in bed, turn out light...baby starts fussing and/or gets hiccups and feeding process must start over. Ugh!

reils500 · July 2014

Ugh I think my LO has reflux. Poor guy barely slept all day & was sputtering & coughing when I laid him down after his last feed even though I had kept him upright. So now I'm holding him upright longer & trying not to fall asleep

@Csltdk‌ I feel like we are on the exact same schedule every night. Every time I'm up for a feeding I see you are too. I really think our little ones should start extending their sleep a little bit longer!

Agreed!

Csltdk · July 2014

@Matthew930‌ great decision. Catch those z's.

Skeemer · July 2014

Hey y'all. Second feeding just completed. She seriously knocks out hard after the second feeding so I'm hoping to get back in bed to sleep before my mind begins to wander & keep me up. Maybe she'll let me sleep until 6. *fingers crossed*

Csltdk · July 2014

@Skeemer‌ I just did feeding #2 as well, I reaaaaalllllly hope she sleeps more than 2 hours. Please! Please!

abundancenow · July 2014

First time I've actually responded in this thread, although I've read it many times. DD slept from 1030-230 and so did I. I'm hoping she'll now sleep 330-730. That would be amazing.

I tried the towel idea earlier tonight, but it was so hot. Who knew terry was so warm?

I felt so guilty using the nursery at first, but since the nurses were coming in to help on the nights that DH spent at home with DS1, it was so easy to send him off between feedings. I'm missing the nursery now! Enjoy your sleep.

JuniperGaze · July 2014

I've been noticing a big difference since we've started swaddling more the last few days. She is much calmer and falls asleep faster. She is also adorable as a little burrito. Hoping this feeding doesn't turn into a 3 hour console Gemma back to sleep party like last night!

glitterclaws · July 2014

I agree that using the nursery is wonderful while you have the option. My LO was in the NICU, but as soon as I was able, I was trying to spend every minute all night with him. The nurses strongly suggested (they can't insist) that I go sleep. They said my body is recovering too and I would be a happier mom once I healed a little and that required sleep. Heal up ladies!! Get some sleep!!

Tonight my sleepy brain didn't put the lid on the bottle correctly and just dumped formula all over us. I changed LO and I think I might wash my hands, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to crawl back into bed with a sticky shirt. Because sleep.

Eta - Oy with the run on sentences.

Big+Lil · July 2014

@Huahine‌ not a helpful comment, but I've begun to embrace the night sweats, only because they mean more weight loss for me. I'm going on 3 weeks now (25 more pounds to go...).

A cool shower before bed does help lessen them somewhat though.

I call DS "Baby Burrito" when he's swaddled!

NugsMom · July 2014

Holy cluster feeding. I don't think I've slept all night and my nips are raw.

Skeemer · July 2014

Feeding one is done! Who's awake?

bluejeanbaby1217 · July 2014

Annaliese slept all day and only woke to eat....now she's been wide awake and nursing on and off since 8:30....might be a long night

earichar23 · July 2014

Cluster feeding in effect here. LO has been attached to one boob or the other since about 7. I can't imagine she's getting anything out of them!

Big+Lil · July 2014

It's only 9:30 here, but we just finished feeding, hoping for a good stretch.

All caught up on Ladies of London. Team Caroline! About to move on to RHoOC.

Night curiosity question: Which reality show would you go on?

emineminem · July 2014

West coast time, so I'm just trying to keep her up until we go to sleep. Not hard since she's cluster feeding!

I'd love to be on Worst Cooks in America! I'm not terrible in the kitchen but I'd love to learn cooking techniques from the greats.

hab83 · July 2014

Jack is sleeping in the PNP instead of on my chest! Oh, happy day! He slept 2.5 hours in there, woke up to eat, and is back in there asleep. I really hope we can keep this up. I feel so much safer and can sleep so much easier this way.

alyss0nl · July 2014

I'm wide awake from the pain of having dental work done today, DH is feeding ds2 and I can't seem to fall asleep. Not fair.

Rawa1416 · July 2014

Just had two projectile spit ups. One went all over the floor and the second went all over everything. So much for getting LO right back to sleep.

Lola825 · July 2014

After a very long night of cluster feeding and gas last night and today DD slept from 9:30-2:30. It's a long stretch but it felt SO good to get a little sleep. We both needed it. Now onto feeding #1 tonight!

Csltdk · July 2014

2nd feeding 3am. Rhooc annoys me. I despise Tamra! I usually watch all my reality trash tv when I can at feedings. DH hates reality tv

Big+Lil · July 2014

@Csltdk‌ we're on the same schedule. It's midnight, so I guess this is my first night feeding.

I read Tamra is going to be a grandma. I hate that they are associated with where I live and grew up. I don't associate with anybody like that. However, those types were way more prevalent before the recession.

Did you see the commercials for Extreme Parenting on Bravo? Right up my alley!

I would go on Amazing Race. Could you imagine Amazing Race toddler edition where families had to travel with their itty bitties? My husband and I would kill each other, and we've traveled a ton with DD.

First night home from the hospital. DD has been cluster feeding and tired herself out. Slept from 10;30 to 2, so I had to wake her--my milk came in and holy cow I need her to nurse. It was really hard to get her to latch. What do you do when they're too sleepy and won't open their mouths?

Try changing her diaper
