Yet another awful night here. She wakes up crying all the time. I really don't understand what's changed. She used ti wake up a few weeks ago maybe 2-3 times a night, but I would just feed her and she'd go straight back to sleep. Now she wakes up crying all the time and it's pot luck if she'll resettle or not. I used to go running in the mornings. Now I'm too tired to even get out if bed. This US so depressing.

First feed here. 9.15-5.15. Impressed

Sent from my GT-I9300

He did it again wahoo!

But he had 4oz of bm at 7.15, and 3oz of bm at 9.15, then slept til 5am???

So I have worked out that if he goes to bed at 7.30, he's up at 1am & 5am, if he goes to bed at 8.30, he gets up at 3.30am, and if he goes to bed at 9.30, he gets up at 5am. I think I'm going to have to start, giving him a half a bottle at 7, then putting him in his Moses basket downstairs, then get him up at 9, change his nappy, and give him some more!

Happy tonight though!!

But I've increased my supply loads over the last few days, so I've woken up really engorged, which hasn't happened in yonks!

First feed here as well. I'm amazed

He had a feed at 11pm and went down (in his crib yay!) at 12, woke at 3 but just for his funny and went back to sleep until 5.15!! I'm amazed, although I've just put him back down and it takes him a while to go back off :-/ x

In wide awake now though!! Lol x

Max slept from 9:30 until 5:30!! Wahoooo! So chuffed with him. Xx

He just won't settle for any longer than 2 mins and then screams
I've fed fed fed my nipples are sore just from tonight
I've swaddled
I've nappy and clothes changed 3 times
I cuddled
I sang
I left alone in Moses
I'm at a loss

 

[sophie_jane]

Poor you Pregnot. What normally gets him to sleep? If I'm at a loss, I can normally bounce with E in my arms in the exercise ball and she falls asleep. Or maybe you could go for a quick walk with the pram or a drive round the block until he nods off if things like this normally work for him? Really hope you manage to get him to settle.

After another evening of cluster feeding Henry did 11-6:45 with one half hour wake up in the middle. I feel like a different woman, what a superstar baby!!

Hugs to u pregnot. I bought Noah a projector/lullaby toy for his crib yesterday. He always calms down when I put the lamp on so thought he might kind a little light and background noise. It projects pictures above him and has either lullabys or frog noises which seemed to do the trick last night. Hope he settles through the day for u so u can be some sleep! X

In basket 8.15-12.45 and 1.10-4.15, another small improvement. Although she was sick when I put her back in about 4.30am so I had to change her and take her out of her sleeping bag, boo!

 

[Ammdaz]

Aww pregnot you poor thing. My DS used to be similar, he was just terrible at night so I feel your pain. He would only settle from being fed and then 9 times out of 10 he'd wake when I put him in his basket. The only thing that helped us was cosleeping, not sure if you've tried or are willing to try that? I hope you've managed to get some rest anyway xxx

 

[buggy1]

Pregnot, Ewan the dreamsheep helps us a LOT!

 

[SpinSugar]

Oh pregnot that sounds awful. We had an awful night like that and I couldn't find anything wrong after hours of screaming ..we gave her a dose of paracetamol...it worked a treat. But it was a complete last resort, she must have been unwell

 

[Pregnot]

Well he didn't settle and we were at hospital at 10 am for tongue tie appointment

So on way home now he's fast asleep which is Sod's law as hel be awake as soon as we get home now :/ he's so cute but omg the sleep deprivation is getting a little much for me and oh
For the first time I woke my oh last night and said I can't cope any longer lol I just want to sleep

 

[buggy1]

We all need a break from time to time, it isn't easy but it will get better x

 

[Pregnot]

I'm going to get Ewan sheep
