Thanks! He lasted 35 mins. 🤷🏼♀️ But it’s a start. You inspired me to try again today. My baby who doesn’t take a paci is asleep in her crib with a paci and white noise machine on!! I’m sure I’m jinxing it and she will wake up in a second but I don’t care!! It’s a start like you said 🙌 |

J took a 10 minute nap in the crib earlier this week and I called it a win.

Lately I’ll start out in the bassinet and then on his 3rd or 4th wake up of the night will put him in the RnP. Then pull him into bed with me on the 6th wake up. 🙈 sometimes I think i might be making it worse. |

They all eventually get there with sleep, there is just a WIDE range of when. I thought I was breaking my first by cosleeping and thought i would never get in her crib. Spoiler: I did and she is still perfectly content in the crib and turned 3 in September! |

I’m the same. 🤷🏻♀️ *usually* N starts out in the pnp then moves to the rnp then onto my chest then after Ben leaves he lays next to me. Ben ran into one of Ns pediatricians today and she told him no CIO until 4mo or older. So I get a few more weeks of no CIO. Hopefully by then the fussy part of the leap is supposed to be over and he will be happy and it won’t be a total disaster... lol. |

My parents came for a visit and we had a nice time. My dad dresses up as Santa and we got some good pictures. They bought j a ton of clothes for Xmas.
J was crazy tired today though. He has had a busy week. He kept falling asleep, wak8ng up to eat, and passing out. After doing this 3 times I changed his diaper and put him to bed. I figured he would sleep like crap but he slept almost 6 hours. Dh and I both passed out at 830 so we all must have been tired lol

Oh my goodness y’all. I only nursed A twice last night. 12:30 and 5:30. It’s a Christmas miracle! The other times he woke up, I either shushed him back to sleep with a paci (didn’t pick him up) or just let him soothe himself back to sleep. 🙌🏼
I’m sure it was just a fluke and might not happen again. But I’m feeling good!

So I think J may be sick. Last night and today he's been napping, waking up to eat, then passing out again several times. This is so not normal. Plus he is super clingy. He has a snotty nose and a cough.
I hope he isn't sick. I also wonder if the clinginess is partially leap 4? I hope not because I go back to work in 1 week and be will be with DH all day.

You never know if it’ll be 30 mins or 2 hours! |

Well he still woke up about 6 or 7 times last night, so not a whole new person, but like a quarter of a new person with a little more hope for future sleeping. 😆 |

Well after a week of good sleep j was so restless tonight. I had to put the bink in at least 6 or 7 times and he slept a 5 hour stretch but I've been up every hour putting his bink in. Boo. He had a rough time going down last night too.

Any of you have babies that fight the boob even though it is feeding time and they've got to be hungry?
It has been a struggle to get D on the boob these past couple days. The first and last nursing session of the day go fine but the ones in between.... I work so hard to be able to continue BFing with extra pumping sessions and what not! Why does she fight so much and refuses to stay latched if she does take the nipple for a few sips? 😭 There IS milk cause she will have a milkmouth..
I am at my wits end and cried so hard just now.😭😭 I put her in the rnp with a wrinkly book and had to step away cause I got upset with her and I hate that. I was like FINE you won't eat then don't.. but of course she needs to. Guess I will try a bottle instead and shift in an extra pumping session.
Babies...

Baby H is similar. Some days he just doesn't want to nurse. Yesterday, I thought he was hungry, but he kept spitting out my boob and I kept switching him side to side. I was finally like, "what do you want!!!!" And then felt bad. I think sometimes they don't like how the milk squirts out or they want faster or slower flow bc they are being picky little creatures. The other day, he refused to comfort nurse when he was tired and only wanted his paci (he got mad milk was coming out). I was a bit offended. I know with history of low supply, it's natural to assume she is fussy bc she's not getting enough, but it could be any of those other things about flow. |

Sorry for the rough night king26. We had a shitty time here too, like first wake up at midnight which never happens ugh. muscari, hugs, in frustrated too. M is pretty much cranky unless living on the boob or me walking her around constantly and neither are feasible but she will randomly act like you said too which is confusing and tiring as well. God I really hope this is all leap behavior and not the new norm because things feel harder than ever right now. |
