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. I'll happily download it to play when I also join the MOTN club! I haven't played in the longest time. |

Hope you guys are getting some sleep!
Tonight is better than some, not as good as others. 🤷🏻♀️

Not MOTN yet but I am hopeful to be asleep by 11 tonight, I think L went to sleep. I will inspect when I am done pumping. I am tired, the 3yo is seriously going to be the death of me. I really hope these tantrums/ not listening don’t last all year. I really don’t wait to stay home to avoid them.

Hi! Im awake and feeding little man. He hasn’t had a bottle since 8:40. He slept from just before 10-1:30ish. He was stirring and not actually awake yet but I couldn’t sleep through it so I just woke him up the rest of the way. As soon as he is done, hopefully he will knock back out.

Goodness. I picked z up to give him his bottle and he projectile spat up everywhere, he didn’t seem uncomfortable. I’ve never had a baby do that like that.
J has been fussy all night. He feels warm but that might be from screaming, I’m going to check his temp after he takes his bottle

Boy moms- we keep pointing the penis down but ending up with soaking clothes and no pee in the diaper. What is happening?
Tonight has been rough. The only real sleep I've gotten so far was when I accidentally fell asleep with Joel on my chest. I got a 1.5 hr stretch. Other than that no sleep here. Joel did the loudest fart a few minutes ago and I'm debating opening the swaddle and diaper to check for poo but I really don't want to get him all worked up again.
Hmm.

I hate when I fall asleep nursing and wind up totally disoriented and it messes up the transfer back to the RnP.

Tonight has started out rough for us. I'm so irritated with MH. He usually does the 11 o'clock feed so I can get some sleep before the later shenanigans start but the past few nights he's been tired too so he's super frustrated during those feeds. Well being frustrated doesn't work well with our child so it's been disastrous and I end up just consoling/starting all over. Is this a guy thing? I feel like he needs to get it together, take some time to get to know what works for M and we can all go on happily ever after

Idk if it’s true for all babies but with DD we learned if we could hear it, then it was probably gas. If you felt it then it was really poop. So we’re going by that rule with DS too & so far it’s been true. |

For the pee question, are you using aquaphor or a diaper cream? If so, be careful none gets none gets on the front of the diaper where the pee goes. It will act as a barrier and inhibit the pee absorption. |

After a super rough night last night, rough day of no sleep outside my arms, she slept for 3 hours tonight! I feel so much better than last night. Hard to think those were 3 of the 4 hours and 15 mins straight we were up last night!
🍾🍾🍾

Baby is wide awake. And I hear DD1 kicking the Wall next to her bed in her room. Don’t they know it’s too early? And I thought I saw a mouse in our room so kept my feet off the ground for DD2s feeding. Pretty sure it wasn’t a mouse and was my imagination. At least I was strengthening my core by holding my feet up?

I’m sorry everyone is having a rough night. 😞
The baby had a goo night. I did not. I need to learn to stay asleep when he is.
Right now I’m feeding him. Then I will take a quick shower.

maddisonrose I’m sorry, that would be so incredibly irritating. If you’re in charge in rest of the night he needs to calm down and deal with that one feeding.

Sorry for all the rough nights last night  we slept pretty decent. She woke up at 245 but I could only get her to nurse from one side. Then she woke up at like 530ish so I pulled her into bed to try side lying nursing and she instantly passed out before I could whip out my boob. I didn’t fight her and let her sleep. Now both girls are awake and I’m feeding LO while DD1 watches some paw patrol. |

I just had to remind myself that DD was way worse than this haha. At least this kid will nurse and go right back to sleep. She needed hoursnof rocking and pacing the room 🙄 |

(Sorry if that’s a personal question) but they told us to put Vaseline on the front of the diaper so it wouldn’t stick & for that first week he did have a lot of pee accidents bc the diaper didn’t absorb there. |

dragonflyinn so true. Though I can see DD4 getting more difficult in the next few weeks! She’s very spitty and it’s waking her up more and more. So lame.

No he didn't. And we aren't using any creams. And it mysteriously only happens when h changes the diaper. 🙄 |

Little man is swaddled but still isn’t asleep. I think I’m in for a rough night. He hasn’t gone more than two hours without a bottle all day.
