Night crew check in!

Csltdk · July 2014

@soontobehuskermom‌ you never get a good nights sleep, just some good naps if your lucky.

My LO cluster feeds and stays awake from 5a-10a and then sleeps most of the afternoon.

Please be good to me today

jensavicci · July 2014

Max has been a cluster feeder since, idk, conception? At least that's how it feels. But recently, he's taken on a new personality and has decided that mama sitting down while he eats is no longer an option. Im used to him being fussy when it comes to eating but jeez, now he wants dinner and entertainment. And he's decided that it's going to be right around 3:30am that this will happen.

My only saving grace is that DS2 has started going back to sleep easily after eating every 2 hours like clock work. So I'm getting about 1.5 hours of sleep at a time because it is only taking me 20-30 minutes to feed, change him if need be and put him back to sleep.

I have to find the little victories.

DH is getting the boys after this feeding. So I can get at least 3 hrs of sleep. He can give DS2 some pumped milk.

Csltdk · July 2014

Today was my first day with no DH and no visitors. The baby is still alive! Victory!!

We are up with our first feeding watching King Kong. I would like to think that a huge gorilla would see that I'm an animal lover and want to be my friend as well. I wouldn't let those assholes bring him to to city either, what a bitch move that was.

What movies/ shows you ladies watching during feedings?

TexasGirl81 · July 2014

H is putting Lili to sleep. Last year when she was a newborn I had the Netflix app on on my phone. I would watch OITNB or breaking bad. Hopefully LO will be here any day now. When that happens I'll need to find new shows. Right now I'm watching "fast and loud". Richard, could you be a little hotter?!?!

kwh33ls · July 2014

I'm watching Supernatural on the recommendation of a friend. The Winchester boys are hot and entertaining. Thank goodness for my iPad and the netflix app.

HairBossMama · July 2014

I'm watching greys anatomy on netflix. I am so obsessed, I almost look forward to waking up to feed:)

JuniperGaze · July 2014

Ugh! She is cluster feeding tonight. I'm so tired! DH is up doing dishes and I'm camped our on the couch watching Switched at Birth. Please tell me she will fall asleep soon!

Csltdk · July 2014

Dishes at 2Am?! Damn! @ashbozso‌ I never saw that show but I'm thinking it's calling my name!

drbuch · July 2014

I'm up. No little one yet, but hoping I get a little nap in with these contractions before it's time to head to the hospital. Today is my due date and I never expected to make it this far, but babe must have needed all the baking time!

I'll update later with how it goes!

Aimes33m · July 2014

LO is so loud as we're all trying to get to sleep and again as she's waking up. I've never been a deep sleeper and I wake up to every single peep from her. It's not resulting in much sleep for me. I had a couple of 4 hour stretches but the last few days we've taken a huge step back to every 2/2.5 hours + all this noise! So frustrating.

Csltdk · July 2014

We digressed tonight to every 1.5 .y eyes are droopy as fuck typing this

glitterclaws · July 2014

Tonight looks like we are back to a nice longer stretch. Midnight feeding and then slept thru until 3:30am. I have a faulty bottle in the bunch that leaks without me noticing until he's done and soaked. So I've managed to pull that lucky one tonight. Had to do a full outfit change and then go down to get a new bottle. Sooo sleepy.

I'm trying a no swaddle approach tonight. He's sleeping in a sleeper only. I'm hoping we can start skipping the swaddle most nights because I'm lazy.

I'm a little embarrassed but I've been watching reruns of jerseylicious (spelling?) the show is so stupid but it makes the time pass quicker.

I have watched 5 minutes of one episode and for a reality junky like myself it was to much. I couldn't handle it! I did however cry watching King Kong when they were hurting him. Why da fuq people gotta be mean to animals? And then I remembered King Kong is not real

mrscurlygurl · July 2014

Lil bit seems to have caught DS's cold and only wants to sleep in my arms. I am not capable of sleeping sitting in a recliner, so it's been a long night for me...

skr1619 · July 2014

My oh fuck moment at his 4:30 feeding time... I forgot to change his diaper BEFORE feeding him. Thankfully he stayed asleep when I went to change it.

Lola825 · July 2014

I'm torn on whether to be excited about how long DD slept last night or mad at myself for not waking her. She slept from 10:50 to 5:30am. It felt amazing, but, my milk isn't in full supply yet so I'm kicking myself for not waking her and missing a feeding essentially. My boobs need the help but mama needs sleep! Ugh

Skeemer · July 2014

First feeding of the night for us. She had a rough round of gas after she ate. It's looking like she may take a paci. DS never took one so knowing when to give her a paci is all new to me.

I'm really ready to go to bed. She's got some heavy eyes but still seems pretty alert. Maybe I should put some NyQuil in her bottle?

I think a poo-splosion may be on it's way & is keeping her from totally relaxing.

Who else is up?

kwh33ls · July 2014

Up! I had hoped to sleep till 1:00 after feeding at 10:00, but poor DH came in at 12:15, and said he'd tried like 18 S's, and she was still inconsolable. Sure enough, still nursing now. At least I got an hour of sleep or so. I'll be back around 2:30

@BPaws, how great is Breaking Bad?

Csltdk · July 2014

First feeding here. LO was up from 6-9 then took a huge poop at 9 and slept till 1. Whaaaaat?! I slept 10-1 and feel great. Please let her sleep till 4!

bluejeanbaby1217 · July 2014

I thought she was down for a few hours but the second I went to get in the shower she was wide awake and screaming....an hour later she's still wide awake and fighting the breast, really wish she's take a paci

TexasGirl81 · July 2014

Haven't been to bed yet. I'm sure Lili will wail for a bottle soon. @kwh33ls‌ I know the question wasn't directed towards me. But......Breaking bad was pretty bad ass!! H and I got addicted quickly. The first episode is intense and that's what got me hooked.

Csltdk · July 2014

I watched the entire 1st Season of Breaking bad and I could NOT get into it! I feel like I am missing out bc everyone talks about how good it is!

I think DD is on the same schedule. I was over ambitious and hoping to get 10-2 as she has in the past, but not tonight. 10-1230, boo! Hope the stretch this one out til 5, wishful thinking, I'd love some sleep.

Skeemer · July 2014

DD is asleep! Her butt is dry & her stomach is full!

See y'all next feeding! **runs to bed** :-h

dobbyisfree · July 2014

Poor DH. He goes back to work tomorrow so Im doing tonight solo. Baby woke at 130, and I decided to change him before feeding him so of course he was furious and screaming. DH comes walking in to take care of him - not sure if he forgot or somehow thought I was sleeping through that.

Trying to teach Logan to sleep in the crib and not on me. 11-130 he did really well! Fingers crossed for now!

kwh33ls · July 2014

I teach chemistry, so I have a particular soft spot for BB, even though I blame it for being asked EVERY year if I know how to make meth...

glitterclaws · July 2014

So sleepy tonight. LO is full of tricks these past few days. He's been eating way less, more frequently during to day and then only a little bit at night. Making me think he's not getting enough and putting me in crazy mommy mode. But we weighed him and he still appears to be gaining.

And he had two huge projectile vomits, one yesterday and one the day before. No fever so I guess I won't call the pedi. How do you know if they are sick or just being babies?

NugsMom · July 2014

LO slept from 10-2:30! He nursed for a while and took about half of his bottle, but kept falling asleep. I am going to pump and then it's back to bed for us!

hrgwu2006 · July 2014

2nd feeding of the night and she feels that playing with the nipple shield is more fun than eating. No. It isn't. I am tired. Eat then go the efffff to sleep LO!

emineminem · July 2014

DD just fell asleep on me but I'm scared to move her after FOUR HOURS of cluster feeding. Gah! Wish me luck. 1:43am I'm ready for bed.

11-3 for me!! We are making great progress! Hope you're LO sleeps until at least 4!

She let me sleep till 4:45!! Best night by far! Hope I didn't jinx my morning "LOLOL"

JuniperGaze · July 2014

Yay! Tonight totally makes up for how crappy last night was! I slept from 9:45-12 and gave her a feeding from 12-1 then we slept till 4:30! We finally ditched the nipple shield so I don't have to pump anymore. She's been nursing for shorter periods too so I'm thinking she is getting more flow without the shield. Hoping to be back in bed by 5:30.

4 hours of middle of the night cluster feedings? WOW- You win tonight !

@Skeemer‌ c'mon you can't still be sleeping!!

Lola825 · July 2014

We are up. I'm trying to do the middle of the night feedings without formula to see if she is satisfied after. Should be interesting...

earichar23 · July 2014

Adelinde slept just shy of 3 hours! Woohoo! DH thought she was getting her days and nights switched since she only slept a total of 2 hours last night. So we are using just a nightlight when sleeping tonight instead of a small lamp. Hoping it's working! Fingers crossed for another 3 hours after feeding!

Skeemer · July 2014

5:15 am & DD woke up for feeding #2. I put her to bed about 12:20 am but she was gassy & wanted to be consoled around 1 am. It didn't take long but I had JUST fell asleep dang it.

The second feeding is the best because she eats & usually falls back asleep within about 20 minutes.

Hope you've all had a great night & your LO's have let you rest. Back to bed for me.

Skeemer · July 2014

Stupid gas woke her up

Csltdk · July 2014

@Skeemer‌ I had a wonderful night with my babe, this morning however.... She's been up since 6:15 and refuses to sleep again. Gassy, pee diaper change, drink a little, aaaand repeat.

likeanoldtimemovie · July 2014

Baby girl went to sleep in the Moses basket instead of on my chest AND did it for three hours between each feeding! Mama feels like she could take on the world.
