MOTN frustration

in October 2015 Moms
Anyone else get irrationally frustrated some nights? LO is extremely difficult tonight. She wont burp, she keeps flinging her head back and has now whacked me in the lip. Pretty sure itll be fat tomorrow. Still acting hungry but ifni feed her more before she burps shell spit it all up. All the while shes screaming at me. Then i look over and see DH sleeping through this and i know he will complain about how tored he is in the am. Makes me want to just punch him in the throat. Im glad hes getting sleep because he has to work in the am. But that fact that i know hes going to come home tomorrow and take a nap makes me angry tonight. Also he didnt take out the trash which will again be forgotten in the morning and well be stuck with a full barrel for another week.
Ugh!!! Okay done. Just had to vent, now to figure out how to tear into my Trader Joes chocolate star cookies one handed!

    This! Middle of the nights are tough and do find me more easily frustrated. DH acting so super tired gets to me every time.

    2:30 am and counting here. LO is 5 weeks old and all he wants to do is eat. Then he throws up cause he ate to much. Then he wants to eat again. He hasn't slept a wink since he took a nap around 4 this afternoon. I should have napped too but I was starving and needed to eat .
    MOTN frustration indeed .

    We're now at the 3am mark and have been at this for almost an hour and our LO is 4 weeks tomorrow. She's already spat up several times even though we've burped well. Makes it super annoying because I'm running out of towels... Also her erratic eating is making me engorged again, and we're still trying to address my oversupply issue. DH is snoring away and will complain about having not gotten enough sleep... Stupid.

    I'm having one of those nights.. Normally if I sleep when she sleeps throughout the day, even just for a little bit nights are much easier for me to conquer. That wasnt the case today as we have my two SD's and its DH's night off so of course I wanted to spend time with him... Now I'm exhausted and finding myself super irritable...

    I've noticed my diet throughout the day really affects the night. If I have caffeine, he will spit up a lot more. Also, anything tomato based will make him gassy and fussy all night. My neighbors made a delicious pan of lasagna and it was nice to just heat it up during the day but made for a few rough nights until I figured it out. Maybe track diet if your nights continue like this? Just remember You Are Not Alone!! There are lots of us with nights like that- mine was 2 nights ago. You will get through it! :)

    LO just spit up EVERYWHERE at 430 in the morning so j yelled for DH to come help (which I pretty much never do). He finally took her then asked if he could go. I told him I wanted to change really quickly and he asked if he could just put her in the crib. It took a lot of patience to calmly ask him to change his poor spit up covered daughter. And yes I'm sure DH will absolutely take a nap tomorrow because of this ugh

    Same boat here. Little man has been up since 2 Am screaming . It's now 6 am. He didn't go to sleep until 11 last night bc I went to the movies with the girls. Sigh it's going to be a long day. DH was just saying before he left for work that he was tired, yea yea I know but he doesn't get up at night. Ugh I wanna kick him in his throat. Hopefully I can get some sleep during the day. LO is currently sleeping on me and when I put him down he screams.. Fun day ahead!

    Preach! Since DH is back to work and I am not yet I have been doing almost the whole "night shift" and the 1st half of the night is usually ok but the second half he just squirms and fusses (not full cry so lucky there) he has issues with milk coming up but not out so he sounds like he's constantly trying to clear his throat. Even if he sleeps he is squirmy and noisy so I get almost no sleep.

    Man I wish I checked this thread last night! I really could have used the moral support as ds woke up at 930, 10:30, midnight, 1am and then didn't fall asleep until 330 only to wake me for the day at 445. I feel so frustrated bc he will sleep peacefully during the day (there's no waking him!) but at night he will eat, cry, eat, cry, spit up, wet diaper, cry. He's such a good baby but nights are tough, made tougher because two nights ago, he slept from 10-2, woke up to eat for 15 min and then slept until 5!! It was such a tease! I'm wracking my brain trying to replicate what we did that day but days are a blur now.

    Also I hear you guys on the husband front. My husband is a great help but when he talks about how tired he is given that I do 75-100% of motn duties, I want to kill him. We actually got into a fight last week because I woke him to help me when ds grabbed his hair and was crying hysterically (I can't bear his tears!)- Dh started yelling at me about "panicking" and waking him for no good reason. I lost my shit. Seriously?!

    What i eat doesnt affect dd, we formula feed. Breast feeding did not work for us. she burps fine all day..then come night no luck!!

    I didn't sleep a wink last night. It was the first time LO slept in his bassinet. He is 5 weeks and has only slept in my arms and co sleeping, not by choice but by sleep necessity. Well, tried the bassinet again last night cause Hubby got all irritated that I woke him a few times in the middle of the night yesterday and he's been saying we need to make the switch. It went great...for LO and DH. Lo slept the whole night until 5am. I however was on super sensitive mom noise mode and every little sigh, snort, grunt or silence had me getting up to check on him. Plus I was suffering from separation anxiety. It actually felt good when the woke up and I could pick him up and hug him! Lol. Here's hoping tonight is better for everyone.

    Yep we're there too. One major reason I do formula though is to split the burden with DH. He has more patience than I do and we switch off when one of us is getting frustrated. He is working though, so I feel bad making him tired. He needs a lot more sleep than I do. This weekend I'm going to take the kids to my sister's one day and let him sleep in.
    But dear god when are these babies going to sleep better????

    Same!!! Coffee is my bestie right now. And I was never a coffee drinker before. I just have no clue why one night he sleeps great, and then the next two nights are horrible.... I know that he gets gas pains and that wakes him up, but I'm doing everything I can think of to help him. I'm thinking that I might have to switch to a soy based formula, but I'm waiting to talk to the doc on wed before I do, so I don't mess his little system up even more...

    My LO likes to poop at 3-4am. Whenever I try to put him to sleep during that time, he'll stay in the crib for 30min-1h and then wake up and spit partially digested milk :( This is a sign for me to put him in his "pooping position" and let him have a go at it... Thank goodness for my tablet, otherwise the horrible night would be even worse!

    Love this thread! My LO is just 2.5 weeks old, so I'm still waking her to feed at night and last night I felt so tempted to just get another hour of sleep before waking her, but I felt bad and changed her diaper first to make her alert. Her diaper was off for one second before the biggest poop explosion happened everywhere! It was on our glider, carpet, dresser, wall. Then, she cried while I was trying to clean it up and woke up DS who also started crying. Ugh.
