marygracerich hope you’re sleeping now! Baby girl was fussy this evening but I managed to get her to sleep, then I fell asleep sitting up on the couch holding her. Whoops. We just moved to the bed. Hoping I can feed her and she’ll go back to sleep. And maybe just maybe give me a four hour stretch? That would sure be much appreciated. I ended up just putting him in the bassinet awake. He was sleepy but definitely not asleep. This was around 10:45. I then knocked out and slept until 2. I’m up feeding him again now. |

I’ve been up a good chunk of the night with timeable contractions on and off. I wish I knew what was going on.

What are all these “four hour stretches” you all speak of?? We get 2.5 max over here. 😬😴 This is us and we are almost 5 weeks! I am trying to remember how DD1 was but I swear she slept longer stretches by now! |

bassa she just teased me last week being a good sleeper. We’re ge really 3 hours, but occasionally longer. Sounds like lots of us could really use more sleep. watermelonseed I hope this is it!! Anyone else drool a lot when you’re not sleeping long stretches? Just me? I keep waking up to a wet pillow. Lol.

My FIL has many good traits but unfortunately I don’t know that I would list maturity as one of them 🙈 |

Just as I was switching boobs I could hear DD3 screaming. She fell asleep last night before I made it in her room to kiss her goodnight and she was mad. But then she was asking for something and I could not figure it out. DH came up and I swear we spent 10 minutes playing charades trying to figure out what she was asking for. Ended up being a magnetic letter toy. Child it’s 2:45am. Also I’m 90% sure she’s going to need speech therapy. She speaks in full paragraphs, but she is sooooo hard to understand. She’s only 2.5 so that’s part of it, and the local schools won’t evaluate until 3, but man.

Our house turns into a circus here at night. If it's not Maddox waking up, it's Declan. Both only want mommy. Add in the case of reflux and almost guaranteed vomiting every feed and it's literally crazy town here.

bassa he will sometimes go four hours between feedings but that is from start to start. So if he eats at 2:15, at night he will eat again at 6:15 (which is what’s currently happening.) That means I’m only really get 2 1/2-3 hours of sleep because it takes 20 minutes for him to finish his bottle and then who knows how long for both of us to fall asleep.

I set my alarm for 6 so that I could shower. When I went in, baby was out cold. 13 minutes later I get out and he is crying. So now I’m feeding him while in my robe.

So uncomfortable. I had a clog the weekend we got home and I was soaking my boob in warm water and then hand expressing sitting on my bathroom floor leaning over a cup. It was pretty miserable. I hear lecithin helps as well. |

Has to sleep on towels and change in the MOTN every night. |

Thank you All for the live last night. I needed it! She ended up sleeping from 3:30-6:45 but then really hasn’t slept until about ;5 mins ago. She’s been doing the fake out since last night which is the worst. Eat, fall asleep, lights out, transfer, crying 5 mins later.
I placed a same day order on amazon for lietchin when I read your posts. I took it last time and probably should’ve started at 37 weeks.
Silver lining, she got my clog out. ThNks to her and this awesome BF contraption I’m goong to PSA later after I try and nap.

I know I'm not part of the MOTN party yet - but for when I am - let me know if anyone plays Words with Friends or anything like that. Playing that MOTN really helped me stay up last time while nursing.
