king26 how is not tracking going for you? I hope well! I was talking to MH about taking a break from tracking and he was all for it - as I expected heh. I will track a couple of things still, like my pumping sessions, when she goes to sleep in the evening (so I know for sure I wont let her go over her max hours of sleep - till she is 5kgs) and when i BF (so I know better when to expect her to want to eat again). But I am no longer keeping track of the duration of BFing sessions no more nor diapers, nor walks or playmat time or well basically I tracked every single thing. #ocd lol I hope it will make me feel less anxious and not so upset/stressed when i forget to track something.

Oh and king26 it has been a while but D has slept on me at times those first weeks. And I sometimes dozed off myself as well. I was scared at first but took precautions like extra pillows around us so she couldn't roll off and I would sit propped up myself and was stuck in one position so i couldnt roll over etc. It was the only way she would sleep some times and impossible for me to stay awake all the time myself. Occasionally she also naps on top of MH when he takes a nap in the afternoon. I can't help but keep an eye on them but they won't even move an inch. It is also an awfully cute and adorable view.

On the subject of falling asleep with baby. I ended up co-sleeping with my first more than I wanted to. I always said nope not me. I took all the precautions and luckily I am a super light sleeper.
He was such a crappy sleeper, I just needed aleep. This time around, I am made it a point to not co-sleep. In the first few weeks I remember dozing off with him and it freaked me out. On occasion especially during his mid afternoon nap I'll lay him beside me.

It's so hard when they won't sleep. I also said I never would

Why oh why did MOTN feedings suddenly turn into a 2.5-3h ordeal????? 😥 This is my life. LT as hugs! It s rough! I was curious and checked my app.. actually theyhave been between 1.5 and 2h which is longer then I thought. Didnt feel that long heh. Then these past nights they have turned into almost 3h ordeals.. not sure why. But it s killing me atm. Is it bad of me to kind of prefer soloing nights over us all 3 sleeping in the same room? MH pretty much snores thru it all and I have to actively wake and ask him to change her for instance. And he cant BF anyway When she fusses he offers to take her but I don't feel comfortable them sleeping together at night like this as MH is such a heavy sleeper. He promises he doesnt sleep that deep when he is with D but I get so anxious and panic just thinking of all that could go wrong. I'd not survive if something was to happen to her. While i really do miss the cosyness of being near MH it just feels more stressful also having to keep MH in mind rather then it just being me and her.

I think I have a new personal record. 3.5h for this MOTN session wtf. She s now asleep on my lap and I am keeping everything crossed she will stay asleep when I put her back in bed. And that I will be able to fall asleep myself again too. Hate how hard it can be to stay awake while nursing then once I can actually sleep again I am wide awake again..

Well it seems like when J takes a million short naps during the day he sleeps much better at night. He's had a similar sleep pattern the last 3 nights which is interesting. I'm wondering if it will continue and if he's getting on a night schedule. He's only been up twice so I've let DH sleep because he was exhausted but ok get him up for the next feed which I'm sure will be inanhour or so.

How short is a short nap king26? I am still puzzled by the fact D seems to skip naps most all day. Maybe she is a master catnapper cause she will nap a few minutes here and there on my lap after feeds and seems to run on those all day. Sometimes i let her sleep for the sake of her resting. Sometimes I put her in bed but she always always always is awake and crying in 5minutes or less.

He takes between 5 and 7 of these short naps a day. Also, during our 4:00 feeding the last 5 nights j has vomited or spit up everywhere to the point he and one of us have to change. What is upnwith that? Is it weird it's the same time everyday?

Mariah slept two 3 hour stretches last night. And during the first one MH got up with her and gave her a bottle so I just pumped and went back to sleep. It was glorious!

A has such a unicorn night I do t even want to say it outloud to jinx it. He didn't STTN, but I wasn't up 10 times either. 🙌🏼 muscari, since MH can't help with MOTN, is rather him not be in the room. I get annoyed when I look over at him sleeping, even though I know he can't help. Lol

He can sleep and I don't feel like I have to be quiet nor look at him sleep thru it all! 😊
