Having a breakdown. LO won't sleep more than 45 min for the past 3 nights and I haven't been to sleep yet tonight. I'm at my wits end.

This was me today. Had a mini meltdown at 4am last night and a bigger one when DH got home from work today. I agree with @Nichole8787‌ . You have to ask someone for help! I waited until DH got home but I really should have called my SIL earlier than that to take LO off of my hands so I could sleep for longer than 30 minute increments.

Nichole8787 · September 2014

Put lo in his cradle...he's laying there whimpering. Not crying just kind of making little sad noises every few seconds...breaking my heart. I'm going tho cave and put him in bed with me soon...

kenziebug22 · September 2014

@Nichole8787‌ thats the saddest thing ever I always cave if it lasts a while

The ONE night G slept good I had to wake him up at 430 to get ready to go to the hospital. He wouldve sttn! Omg..

ariel8200 · September 2014

Tonight has been a wake every two hours night again. I thought at nearly 10 weeks of age this would start to ease up. The night before she slept almost a 5 hour stretch so I was feeling very hopeful. Ugh. I even have her on a loose schedule during the day which is supposed to help. It doesn't. All these books I've read are crap. It's all just a bunch of BS.

Okay this tired and grumpy mom is done venting for now.

Nichole8787 · September 2014

@kam3100 It is all complete bullshit. 100% absolutely bull shit. Babies do what they want.

shortstack930 · September 2014

Like a dumbass I had coffee last night and then nursed. DD was super fussy and wouldn't fall asleep until midnight and woke up at 5am @-)

Nichole8787 · September 2014

Am I the only one still up?

Lol nope. Dd woke up for a night feed.

She hasn't done this in a month. A MONTH. Mommy ain't a happy camper. Oh well. Turned on some calming tunes.. We will rock and feed and go back to bed... I hope. Please god?

marsalisails · September 2014

I'm am idiot. It's 20 degrees cooler this week on the east coast and i still had dd dressed as though it was 90 degrees at night. No wonder she kept waking up - she was freezing! Poor kid. Hoping to get a little longer this stretch now that she's warm (but she wouldn't burp, so now she's struggling with gas).

ariel8200 · September 2014

Holy crap, 9:30 - 4:00. This is technically sttn right? Omg I thought it would never happen! I'm hope it isn't a one time deal *knocks on wood*.

lowen83 · September 2014

LO slept 8pm-5:30am annnnnd DS 1 slept all night in his room without waking me up!! Praise tiny baby Jesus!!

Nichole8787 · September 2014

My lo slept from 9:30 to 2:30 and then until 5! Victory! Fail....I was wide awake from 2:30 to 6.maybe we'll both get it together one day

kenziebug22 · September 2014

Past two nights DS has slept awesome, lets hope that now I have the chance to go to bed early he keeps it up

ariel8200 · September 2014

DD seems to be sleeping well but I'm up with an upset stomach. I'm pretty sure I have a stomach bug and I hope to God I don't give it to her.

shortstack930 · September 2014

DD has been STTN until 6am for two weeks, but tonight, when I didn't get to bed till midnight, she wakes up at 4am. Oh well.

marsalisails · September 2014

Two wake ups two days in a row. Booooooo.

That would feel amazing. My lo wakes up every 2 hours most days

Nichole8787 · September 2014

Had lo in bed with me....woke up tho breast milk shooting me in the face because his little arm was shoved into it. I Never considered breast milk to the face would be a way he woke me up

nolemomma14 · September 2014

We had survived the 6 week growth spurt, 8 week wonder week, and were back to just one MOTN feeding. Then DS got his shots today and poor little guy is uncomfortable and fussy. Hoping the night isn't too long, and that this only lasts a day or two!

jennp1979 · September 2014

Question...
LO slept from 9:45-4:15 whoohoo!

He normally feeds almost twice during this time

How do you make up for the feeding they miss when they STTN

I gave him his regular 5 oz but now that he's back asleep and I'm sitting here thinking about it...should I have increased the ounces?

I was so excited and doing my happy dance that I didn't think about it

What do you all do?

shortstack930 · September 2014

Is the 8th week a wonder week or something? We had two weeks of STTN and now the past two days she's been getting up in the MOTN again. My boobs and I are confused!

yes we were doing 5 hour stretches at night and now the past 2 nights we have been up every 2 and a half hours! He is one day shy of eight weeks

It definitely is! DS is 9 weeks old. Last week his sleep was way off, he was waking up every 2-3 hrs to eat. Last night he was finally back to his normal schedule, a 6hr stretch and then back to sleep until 7. Hope it passes soon for you!

kenziebug22 · September 2014

So glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was going crazy lol i totally forgot the wonder week this week.DS hasn't slept good at all the past three nights or during the day and is back to eating every two hours.

9 weeks Friday hopefully after his shots tomorrow and this wonder week ends I'll have my boy back

shortstack930 · September 2014

Oh thank goodness! Glad to know this will pass, I had so gotten used to sleeping at least 6 hours at a time! Thanks @kdelgado03‌ and @emeek‌ !

TexasGirl81 · September 2014

Wow, LO is being a nut tonight. He was down, but then he woke up because he pooed. Now he's stir crazy. Hoping he goes down again soon.

Nichole8787 · September 2014

Lo Is fast asleep. I'm laying here wide awake. This is becoming a trend that I'm not liking. I'm my own worst sleep enemy...

kenziebug22 · September 2014

G woke up to eat right before i got in bed, after he finished his bottle he was a little fussy when i tried to rock him back to sleep.

I decided to tuck him in in his crib so i could run and pee real quick and he fell asleep, no problem all on his own!

I just put him in his crib after i just changed him and fed him again, while he was wide awake and he's already sleep, again!

I should be happy about this and that he's beginning to self soothe, but I'm totally having my first hes growing too fast, he doesn't need my cuddles to fall asleep anymore moment :-/

Nichole8787 · September 2014

Still up over here. ..Baby is asleep. What is my deal?

hab83 · September 2014

LO is so inconsistent. He will sleep for. 6 hours 1 to 3 nights and then he's up every 3 hours for the next several nights. I'm so sleepy!

shortstack930 · September 2014

I still swaddle. DD is eight weeks and up until two weeks ago she wouldn't sleep anywhere but my arms. We started her on reflux meds and tried swaddling her again (she used to scream nonstop when swaddled) and now she sleeps on her own in the RNP without a problem.

ariel8200 · September 2014

I swaddle dd in a halo sleep sack at night and Swaddleme during naps. She doesn't sleep well without swaddle yet.

earichar23 · September 2014

I haven't been able to swaddle my LO since she was 2 wo. She get so agitated trying to get out it wakes her up.

Prncesta · September 2014

I still swaddle too. DD will not sleep well without it. I have the swaddlemes and I'm noticing she's wiggling her hands out the top and bottom...does that mean it's too small? Should I move up a size or maybe try a different brand?

cookiemomma14 · September 2014

We still swaddle at 8 weeks too. He still flails his arms too much without it. Night before last DS woke every 1.5 hours. I was too zombie-fied to bump. Then last night he slept 5.5 hours and that left me with rock hard boobs that I had to pump because they were still hard after he nursed. I-)

kenziebug22 · September 2014

I still swaddle DS but only half way. He moves so much and likes to kick his legs sometimes but it wakes him up once in a while so it helps with that. If i even think about putting his arms in a swaddle all hell will break lose! Lol boy loves his hands and always sleeps with them up by his face while laying on his side.

TexasGirl81 · September 2014

Ummm we swaddled DD until almost 6 months.

Nichole8787 · September 2014

We sTill swaddle.He likes it so why stop?

TwizzyG · September 2014

We still swaddle at night, but not for naps during the day. DD had slept at least 8 hours at night all week and slept from 8:30pm to 7am yesterday, so I'm not changing our night time routine up until the startle reflex goes away.

honeybee434 · September 2014

We swaddled, then stopped, and now are back to swaddling. I go with whatever gets me the the most sleep at the given time.
