I am struggling to stay awake during MOTN feedings ... what do y’all do go entertain yourselves lol I feed L in the bedroom so I use my phone. He eats and goes back to sleep quickly, so that’s usually enough. With V, he used to be up for hours so I would read or watch TV.

I am struggling to stay awake during MOTN feedings ... what do y’all do go entertain yourselves lol She's a decent nurser at night so I actually doze while she's nursing. We're sitting in a recliner for it and there's little space for her to go aside from staying on my lap so I feel safe doing that. It's not quality sleep for me but it's something.

Unreal. Down in her bed at 8.30 and woke at 2.30 for 20 minutes then sleep in her bed til 5.30. Now napping on me. (it’s 7am).
This does not happen to us. So excited.
Meanwhile I was up for 2 hours with DD for some reason (a night terror?), but one day they’ll both sleep during the night and it’ll be amazing.

I am struggling to stay awake during MOTN feedings ... what do y’all do go entertain yourselves lol The struggle is real. I've started watching The Office during feeds. I still find myself needing 2 hands to support his head and keep him latched well so my phone isn't even an option.

This is kind of how we are. I doze off but I wish I wouldn’t because she only nurses about 20 min and then I wake up about an hour later and my neck is so cramped lol. I have a pillow on my lap so she is safe but it’s killing my neck and I want her to be used to sleeping in her bed. The struggle lol.

birkmmm I also do this, my neck is in rough shape. I try to read on my kindle app but my phone hurts my eyes in the dark. I do like to watch YouTube clips of old SYTYCD dances.

birkmmm, I have a travel pillow that I use at night. Not always but just in case I fall asleep to avoid the neck cramp.

oreobitsy I have to set my kindle app to sepia instead of black text on white background in order to read at night. I have black background with white text but it still bugs me. I bet sepia would be less bright. I had the black background so my toddler wouldn't notice me reading when he needed me next to him to fall asleep. I never was reading in zombie mode like now.

Omg the poops and gas! It’s the only reason that S wakes up. Just about every diaper has poop. So many poop diapers (but still within normal per the pedi).

I just had to wake my sleeping peacefully baby to do her mouth exercises (lip/tongue tie aftercare). That freaking sucks. I have to do them every 5-6 hours around the clock.

We are on week 2 so thankfully only need to do the stretches before daytime feeds but larzmini screams every time 🙁 I’m glad to hear there is an end in sight. We go back for follow up at 3 weeks so we have to continue them until then around the clock. Did you get it shipped or lasered? We did laser bc I thought it would be better but man this is awful.
