Harrison went down lovely, on time tonight.

He's in his big cot for the first time. He looks so dinky, but much comfier.

His mattress actually feels better than ours lucky boy

No banter... does this mean everyone is asleep or too tired to write anything? Have been up for the last hour and a half with E crying. OH is so annoyed he's just decided to get up at 4:30 and start his day!

 

[SpinSugar]

Hi Sophie hopefully it means a good night for most! :-D

Sorry to hear about all the crying. I do find the men folk have quite a low tolerance to crying...I really hope E settles soon x

 

[Ammdaz]

Very quiet on here, lets hope that means lots of sleeping babies.

Sophie I hope E has settled for you and you're dozing now.

We've had a good night so far. Seren went to sleep at 8 and was up for first feed at 12 and only just doing second feed now so two four hour stretches. I'm pleased with that because lately I've been lucky to get two hour stretches after the first feed. She did stir a couple of times around 2 and just after 3 but I just put ewan on and she went back to sleep.

I'm amazed! Florence is still asleep after going down at 9.40!!! I checked my phone at 3.30 and was in such shock that I can't get back to sleep! Wish i wws tsking advantage of this! Xxx

 

[umbongo]

Awake an hour earlier so I feel more tired ... But if she goes back down till 8am it'll be ok. Otherwise I'll be very tired on my birthday, which is in fact today... Weird! Never been awake at this time and sober on my birthday before. Haha.

Happy birthday Bex! Haha not quite how you imagine seeing it in is it! I was 7 months pregnant for my 30th this year... So had lots of meals out to celebrate. They were lovely but it certainly wasn't the alcohol infused crying fest I always thought it would be! I think I was home by 11pm at the latest!

Hope E has stopped crying Sophie ;-( it's horrible when u think well that's it may as well start the day! Hope she's calmed and you manage to get a couple of hours in.

I've slept great tonight as oh is on a nightshift so bed to myself! I think we need a new mattress because I've been close to killing him recently. Everytime he changes position it's like he does a body slam! He's a big lad anyway but it's like he's taking the pis£! Max as usual had last feed at 9 and has slept till 5:30 I woke at around 2 as he was grunting, but he went back to sleep again thankfully. I hope these sleeps give some of u with small babies hope - I was lucky to get more than 2 hours in a block for the first 10 weeks! Now at 16 this if fab (if it stays) xxx

 

[SaraLouise]

Well his new bed seems to have made him worse! We got into a nice litle routine of him waking at 4, but tonight he was up at 2 30 for an hour, and back up at 6.30. Doh!

 

[sophie_jane]

Managed to sleep for another 3 hours until she woke up again. Better stretch than I've had recently.
Well done for an alright night, Ammdaz. My light projector had no effect on E last night. Had to either feed her, cuddle her walking round or bounce her on the exercise ball

Happy birthday Bex!

I'm amazed this morning, Noah went down at about 11.30pm, he took a while to go off but eventually fell asleep and didn't wake up until 6.30 had 2 oz and went back off and is still asleep!!

I don't feel too great though for some reason, was awake at 5 waiting for him to wake..urgh what's wrong with me! Lol

Hope you're all well this morning xx

 

[SeonaidMac]

Had a great night Serena slept for 7.5hrs right through Wahoooo xxxx
Happy birthday Bex xxx

 

[sophie_jane]

Wow. These nights some of you have been having sound amazing...very jealous!
E still won't sleep. OH is bouncing her on the exercise ball now to try to get her off. Eyes are drooping!

 

[Kelly450]

J always goes down 9.15-9.30 without fail. But tonight he cried and cried! Turns out he needed another 1.5oz milk to nod off! Not too much later than normal xx

Hubbys doing the dream feed as I type. Hes turned the light on in there and woken her up...I hope she settles back down...watch this space! She looks wide awake to me

 

[umbongo]

Good luck Zoe!!!
Hannah had expressed bottles, 12oz! Fast asleep now .....fx

 

[sophie_jane]

E whent 5 hours between feeds but only 3 hours of that was sleeping. Ehe went back down easily but it was just a trick. She's Been awake for the past hour crying. OH is sleeping in the spare room tonight so he can have a good night's sleep and take her in the morning. My mum's coming to stay for a few days. Can't wait to see her.
Hope your clumsy hubby got baby back off to sleep, spin!
Hoe long did Hannah sleep for, Umbongo? Nice name btw. Hannah was on my list of girls' names!
