Nightfeeds Chat Thread

Ooh some good nights! Weird one here. Hannah went down at 11.30pm, sound asleep after a full on feeding frenzy all afternoon and evening really. Then woke up hungry at 11.50pm! I was gutted!!! So did lying down feed and we fell asleep (was safe) until I woke up 2.30am and put her in basket. Then only just got her for feed at 5.50am. However, she's been really loud huffing, puffing, groaning etc. Hoping it's the cold and not a new noisy sleep method. So I've not slept that well!

She's sleepy feeding now so it'll take ages!

Hi ladies! Sounds like there's been a real mix of sleep!

Well seems like travelling agrees with Mollie!
Fri - late to bed (about 10), but went straight down so I could nip next door to ny parents room for a drink (had the monitor) she woke at 3.30, fed quickly and went straight to sleep. We had to wake her in the morning!
Sat - fireworks night - very late to bed as the display finished at ten then I had to feed her & traffic was awful so we didn't get in till 11.30. MIL tried to pacify her as she screamed the whole way home but Mollie doesn't seem to like her! So bed at midnight. Went straight down and she dropped HER NIGHT FEED! I woke at 7.30 in shock!
Sun, I woke her at 4 as my boob was going to explode (she had an expressed bottle on the illuminations tram so didn't feed of righty before bed!) And she went straight back to sleep...she's still asleep now.
I'm SO pleased with her. She's been an angel all weekend. :-D

Well our night was amazing after my nightdreads!

Harrison went up to bed early at 7.30, so I dreamfed him at 10. He then woke at 2 30, but there was a bottle of breastmilk in the fridge so OH took him down, then he slept til 7.30.

So I slept from 11-7 30 (minus 10 minutes of resettlement when OH bought him back upstairs.

I feel like a new woman!

I'm so tired and teary, I just need to sleep Henry has cluster fed all afternoon and evening. He had about an hours nap about 7pm and been up ever since. He went in his Moses basket at 11 only to wake half an hour later just as I was drifting off. My patience is going and I feel like crap. He's still feeding

 

[SeonaidMac]

Serena seems to cluster feed in the evening/night but since she started doing this she's slept a lot longer at night... She's had a feed now so I'm hoping for a nice 5hr plus sleep xx hope you all have good night's

Hugs beesmall xx hope it gets better xx

So thought I'd try feed Vincent every 3 hours during the day as he was going longer between feeds sometimes and then up all night. He has fed every 3 hours today and still up every 3 tonight he's like an waiting machine u think he'd never been fed! I'm so tired! Lol x

 

[Vic27]

Eating machine stupid iPhone!

 

[SaraLouise]

We are up for feed number 2, he seems to have got himself into a nice little routine. Tonight he went to bed at 8.30 & woke at 2.45, so 6 hours, although i didn't get to bed til 11 so only 3hrs 45 mins for me!

I quite like this new routine but everytime I think his sleep is settling down he hits a leap & it goes awol again!

 

[SpinSugar]

Morning ladies. Up at 2 as usual. I'm SO poorly though, I keep swinging between shaking with cold and sweating with fever. Feel so sick, ugh

Hi ladies. Bee small hope you've managed to get some sleep? The cluster feeding really is a text of anyone's patience! Poor you spin.. It's not accompanied by any sore boobs is it? That's how I knew I had mastitis! ;-(
Well we still have no routine here.. M woke 2 hours earlier than last night despite going to bed at the same time.. Weird! I'm not at the stage where I feel I can waste sleep though so I always go to sleep at night when he does do at least I get one decent block of 4/5ish hours usually! Granted he doesn't go bed till 10pm/10:30pm though which is a suitable bedtime anyway! Xxxx

 

[umbongo]

Hugs beesmall and spin. Bee, hopefully she fell asleep eventually! H does evening cluster feeding, esp in the beginning and it nearly killed me! Fx, you're better soon spin.

I'm up after only 4 hours rather than 5. I blame hubby as I left bedroom door open as so hot in here and need to swaddle, he shut it when he went for a wee earlier. So it was hot again. Hannah seemed too warm and had unswaddled her arms so was thrashing about! Took a few mins to calm and feed

Man I'm tired. I do wish she'd settle before 12 occasionally it's 11.30, but rarely! X

 

[umbongo]

Well that went well.... Fell asleep on boob 4.30am so put bsck down but thrashed about for at least 30 mins... Then settled... Only to wake up 5.30am... Left her 20 mins as not crying but wouldn't settle so feeding again..FML.

 

[amygates88]

Bad night here too. He is normally really good and gets up at 2/3ish then back over til 7. I have been up every 2 hours. I want to cry! My oh got up once which was nice. Now he has woke up in a right bad mood cos he is over tired! I'm i. For a fun day xx

 

[umbongo]

Oh no. Amy, not good. Hannah fed for about 15 mins then fell fast asleep in my arms. Expected her to wake so held her for 20 mins... Stayed asleep so put in basket. Sound asleep... For 30 mins.. so I didn't get back to sleep. Then changed and now feeding again!! Got HV at 10am so no lie in today!

 

[Kelly450]

Oh dear ladies! Sounds like a pretty bad night all around. Im not coming tobruin that party!

J slept at 9.15-1.30 (instead of 2.30 like usual). Back down at 1.45 until 4.15 (he never wakes at that time) I then managed go settle him by 4.30. Then he had really noisy sleep till 7 (rather than his usual 6 or 8)

Ive put him back down as I fancy another hour. He seems ok by that.. maybe tricking me though xx
