Aww that's fantastic bbee! Are you breast or bottle feeding? Hannah was fed at 11, woke at 1:15 then at 3:45 and then at 5:45 and again at 8:20! Which is good for her lol xx

 

[bbee]

I'm bottle feeding
She's improved so much. She was literally waking up hourly to start with! Xx

 

[loopylou83]

Bless her! I know that feeling, the first 6 days she was feeding for an hour, going to sleep for 20 mins and then feeding for another hour pretty much all night so we are much happier now! Xx

Oh she's definitely a boob hound girls! She seems to be cluster feeding in the evenings and then having a good sleep into the early hours. I'm loving breastfeeding! I think it's amazing.

 

[loopylou83]

Aghhh LO just won't settle tonight! We came to bed at 11- she had fed 3 times, had a nappy change and a change of cot sheet as was sick! Typical as we have someone staying and oh back at work tomorrow! That said I do agree mrs hop that bf is amazing but hope LO goes off soon even if its just for an hour lol xx

Aha the thread for me! Currently on the 3rd feed of the night and its only 1.30am I had forgotten how draining this stage can be.
I have a big chunk of a boobie baby who seems to need to feed constantly to maintain his huge size - deep joy

 

[ChloeSmith]

First feed here, things have drastically improved from my desperate newborn days but I'd still appreciate more sleep! Hoping for another 3 hours when she's done if possible! I can dream!

Also have a booby monster here, she's put in 3lb in 5 weeks! Feel like she'd literally feed constantly if I let her! X

Wish I could discover a way to reduce my daughter's night awakenings! All that will settle her is boob but I'm sure she's not hungry. Just spent half hour trying to settle her while she's having a shit fit...didn't work, boob it is then!

 

[Clairexx]

Having a shit fit?! Haha what's that?!

Well I have been a bit of a stranger here recently but thought I'd pop my head in just to reassure you that I'm not sleeping through! I only feed Max once in the night now and usually it's quite quick so I do I laying down to get him back off quicker too.. So no phones, no lights. He still wakes roughly every 2-3 hours though but the rest of the time he's settled by dummy thank god! This morning he woke at half 5 and decided he didn't want to go back to sleep which was fun.. Luckily oh got up with him but it took me ages to get back to sleep as I always feel guilty! They're both back in bed now while I'm taking bigger boy to school xxx

 

[SaraLouise]

We had our first wake up in over a week last night. Daddy's fault as his snoring was so loud he woke the baby, then because he was awake he felt like he needed a feed, doh! But seeing as daddy woke him, daddy did the feed so I stayed in bed

 

[SpinSugar]

Lol Claire shit fit is a screaming fit basically!

 

[Clairexx]

Ohh ok!ha! I thought it meant she was actually shitting at the same time or something xx

 

[SpinSugar]

Hehe no, it's just a phrase xx

 

[SpinSugar]

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh! This lack of sleep is driving me insane! Why won't my daughter sleep, ever, day or night!!!

 

[SpinSugar]

She's been crying 2.5h now...!

 

[Dotty_woman]

Hope you managed some sleep tonight SpinSugar. Sleep deprivation is the worst
I've got my fingers crossed that we'll have a better night tonight. Violet has just had a big feed for her for 40 minutes and I've put her down at about 2am and I'm off to bed for the first time tonight. Please let her sleep for a bit before the next feed. I don't want a repeat of last night if I can avoid it. xxx

 

[Pippa1703]

Good luck dotty! Ive been up for nearly an hour with grey now. Im doing a formula feed to break up the night or I'll go mad! Can't wait till my pump arrives, bottle is so much easier than boob!
He's already munched 4oz!!!

 

[Pippa1703]

Spinsugar I hope she stops soon, sounds like a nightmare you poor things!

 

[loopylou83]

Hope she stops soon spin sugar! We are on 3rd feed but last one was 3 hours ago so can't complain! Just hoping she goes down after unlike last night where she stayed awake for nearly 4 hours xx

 

[Pippa1703]

Wayhay! Put Grey down at about half 2 so ive had a good three hrs sleep. My boobs are huge now for giving hin formula for his last feed but whatever makes life easier is fine by me! Hopefully this wont be a 3hr feed....
