Overtired baby who slept like crap last night and won't go to sleep now. She wouldn't nap today unless in the swing or my arms. My son didn't nap today either. Now there are fireworks.
I'm so tired and done.

We’re having a terrible heat wave at the moment, which equals babies who need to eat All. The. Time. Including the night- blah.
However, I have a care worker watching them now while I run to the post office, and I have time to have a coffee and a croissant alone.

E slept great last night but she was hell trying to get down. I finally gave her gripe water and then she slept for 7 hours 🙏 probably won’t happen again but wishful thinking

Lol jessila. I might have dropped an f bomb around 4 am. MH asked if he could help and I definitely snapped at him. Oops. Luckily he’s a forgiving man. |

jessila seriously! I told DH the other day that he should try to get her to suck on his nipple to see how it feels!

DD is definitely seeming to get on a night schedule. I feed her around 10. She sleeps to about 1:30/2. Then goes back to sleep until about 5 or so. Which is better than her cluster feeding in the middle of the night which was last week.

Larzmini just slept from 9pm-4:30am
I know it was a fluke but I am so happy! She has been a fussy mess this week so hopefully she is just tiring herself out! Now I'm wired and can't fall back asleep.

At 6:15 this morning F ate a bunch and puked it up all over me. Some on her but mostly me. It was enough that I had to change my pjs and the burp cloth was soaked so I took of my shirt and moped her up with it. Being a parent is the best.

Mastitis again. I’m quite sure I created an oversupply treating the last time. So that combined with longer sleep stretches brought me back. Luckily I caught it before the flu symptoms hit but it still sucks.
So now I’m just pumping and giving bottles until I figure out my plan. Gave a bottle of formula today to see how it went over. He didn’t skip a beat. I don’t know why I’m making this such a thing, but here I am.
Sort of related - how long should I continue make sure the breast is being emptied around the clock given the mastitis? When could I start weaning to decrease my supply without starting this mess all over again?

lemons, I feel like if you empty your breast you tell it to keep on producing as much as before. I would empty it a bit to help with pain and keep the ducts clear so slow decrease of how much you pump or how long DS feeds on each side. I think I did that over a couple days to replace that feed with formula.

Overtired baby again. Ugh.
I showed H the meme I posted yesterday. He apologized for the baby being overtired, the hard night likely in store, and for his useless nipples.

L got his two month shots today and had a very restless afternoon and evening. V was super tired for about 24 hours after his, but I think L is going to be up a lot tonight.

We are in a heat wave, 121F at 3pm today, we are breaking records. We lost power for about 1h but it came back up, although the AC is having the hardest time keeping up. We have 80F inside the house so not too bad.
Hoping everyone still sleeps fine tonight.

Up feeding F. Sadly I was up only an hour ago because the big kid wet the bed. So tired.

W is doing fine but we’re at H’s parents house at the beach and I just don’t sleep well here. There are 2 dogs plus ours constantly shaking their collars and trying to get in each other’s beds. The bed we sleep in is smaller than ours at home. And it’s gotten cold so W has been in with me since 3.30am. DD1 is being good too, just woke briefly before cause she’d kicked off her blanket.
I like visiting the beach even though it’s winter here, but at night I just wanna be at home...

It just makes no sense with a newborn. DD never sleeps well there. Nor does the dog. So we are waiting. |

E just gave me a 7 hour stretch. Kind of almost an 8 hour. I put her down for bed she woke 40 minutes later so i nursed her and she went right back down. Likely a fluke but she can gladly keep this up

@fancynewbeeey I feel silly because it’s me, not the kids, who has trouble sleeping here. We’re here tonight then off home so at least if I’m disturbed again tonight I’ll be home tomorrow. Sleep is so precious right now!

We're going to try F in his crib tonight. He's taken a couple of naps in it and those went well so I'm hoping that overnight will go okay too. I'd really like to start sleeping in my own bed again, but we're leaving the futon as a bed just in case.
