This night has been the worst yet. One baby slept as great as I can let him (3 hour chunks) the other one hardly slept. Usually I manage at least some sleep between my alarms. 😩😴

sarahh no advice just commiseration. I would say it's still worth laying down during the day while DD naps even if you don't sleep. I'm bad at following my own advice tho. ajetter so jealous of your 4 hour stretch!!! Hope your head is better. teraiin ugh that sounds rough.

DS is grunting up a storm in his sleep! Tonight he has only wanted short nursing sessions in the MOTN so he keeps waking up more frequently. Boo. Sleeeep how I miss you!!!

Coming in here to post & run but could use some T&Ps. Had really heavy bleeding start around 8 last night (I’m 5 days pp & it had pretty much stopped by yesterday morning) & kept having a ton of bleeding through the night & passed an enormous clot at 3am so were in the ER. DH & DS are here w me, thankfully my mom is here so she stayed home w DD. I’m praying S sleeps awhile longer bc idk if I can nurse him with an IV in my arm. We’re waiting for a pelvic ultrasound now.

Girlfriend slept from 10:15-2:30am and 3:10 until I just woke her at 6:15 because my boobs are killing me. I don’t know what vodoo baby magic happened in my house last night but can it please continue?? (Unlikely. I breed non sleepers)

sweetsurprise lol my big girls would love that image so much. Still not holding my breath. I mean anything will likely seem better than DD3. She was colicky and screamed all the time for like 3 months straight, and at one point was waking up pretty much every 45 minutes. But overall I’ve never had a child who even closely resembled a good sleeper until we sleep trained.

G was an absolute unicorn baby. She slept through the night at 6 weeks. And I mean 9pm-6am every night. She had some rough nights after that but very very few. She also ate like a champ (still does) and wasn’t a big crier. The only thing we have always battled with her is daytime sleep. She is still not a great napper.

DS woke every 2 hours for the first 6.5 months until we did sleep training.

DS woke every 2 hours for the first 6.5 months until we did sleep training. She is truly a unicorn. Her favorite food: broccoli. She doesn’t really like chicken nuggets but she will eat grilled chicken. If she gets too tired, she will ask to go up to bed. I take her to restaurants and drs appointments with no issues. She is 2 1/2 so of course she has her rough moments but she really isn’t too hard to handle.

sarahh I am sure I've mentioned them here before but check out online guided relaxation exercises. Some are intended to lead you to sleep, others are not. Once I discovered those post-partum after DS, it was much easier for me to actually fall asleep when he took a nap! I like the ones from Dartmouth.

It’s 10:24 and the baby is wide awake. I really need him to go to sleep so that I can sleep too.

marygracerich similar situation over here. I got her fed and asleep by 10:30. Then 20 minutes later she pooped and woke herself up. I just really need a little sleep so I can function right now.

I’m struggling with this so hard. I am exhausted and I just want some sleep. I am going to feed him again now and pray that it works and he knocks out. Good luck!

As for me, after the ridiculousness of last night, I got the twins fed, swaddled, sleeping and rushed myself into bed so I could scrape together her s little sleep.

The unicorn baby didn’t last. That’s for sure. So much dang poop. Ugh. Hoping that maybe after I nurse her we get a few hours. I had to change her clothes and wipe down half her body so she was definitely screaming at me. If nothing else maybe it wore her out?
