Nightfeeds Chat Thread

[Katied1]

Hard tonight as the OH has taken charge and he doesn't know the way I do things that settle the baby! I try telling him but like a bloke he thinks he knows best lol x

 

[Pippacarney]

Brilliant furst stretch 7.45-3.45, but unusually she's eaten 4.5oz at this feed, normally 2oz, done a poo, now has hiccups and won't settle , usually straight back down in half an hour xxx

Harrison has just equaled his record of 9 hours!

He went 8pm til 5am, yayyy!

We are on day 4 of bathx massage, bottle, boob, bed routine & it does seems to be working despite my skepticism.

(touch wood - though he's due his 4mo sleep regression anyday so hope we can avoid this!)

Oh Spin I HATE when I forget to charge my phone! Hope it ended up being a quick one for u!

Sophie you poor thing.. Don't not post on our accounts, this thread isn't for people who aren't up in the middle of the night hope she settled for you and she gets over her jabs soon. You are so amazing going for a run! I'm still deciding if I can be bothered to go to the toilet once I put him back down.

Yay Sara gooo Harrison!

Well for the first time in a MONTH Max has slept 9-4:50! This is amazing compared to the near on hourly wake ups we've been having, which i think were a mixture of cold and 4 month regressions.. Hoping we're out of it now! He's very noisy though so I've still woken up loads!! Xxx

Hi not posted in a while. Laziness really! Hannah up for first feed 5.50am (went to sleep at 12.10am)
Not bad at all. Usually noisy from now onwards.

Hang in there Sophie Jane, hopefully it'll get better soon. Glad to see you're all ok on here, the weeks really fly by!

 

[SpinSugar]

Katie, I'm right with you on that one!
Sophie that does sound like an awful night. I'll chat to you in the middle of the night! Were always up at least once. Hopefully it's just cus of the jabs and it will get better xx

 

[sophie_jane]

Lol Claire to the toilet comment!

 

[sophie_jane]

SaraLouise hope the 4 month sleep regression doesn't hit you. Not sire if that has been ella's problem, bit if so, someone should really tell her she 5 months old now!
Had a good tun this morning. I'm always shattered and can't be bothered but I love it once I get going and it's good to clear my head!
We're off to baby swimming in a bit. Have a good day everyone!

We had a decent night and we ended up dozing till 9 which was nice. However we had THREE nappy leaks overnight. How ridiculous! So 3 changes of outfit which meant a cold/wide awake baby afterwards!! Aghh, his nappies never leak during the day and its not like he's sleeping for 8 hours or anything! He never does more than 4 hours and I change him at every wake up, I don't understand why they're leaking?! Pampers and Aldi seem as bad as eachother

 

[SaraLouise]

Have you tried putting the nappies on backwards bee? I do that for Harrison at night as someone on here recommended it and we don't get any leaks anymore! No idea why, but might be worth a shot x

 

[Ammdaz]

Claire I had to laugh at your toilet comment, I'm exactly the same!

I take my hat off to you Sophie managing to go for a run after such a bad night, hope Ella's sleeping improves for you soon.

We had another decent night last night. Seren slept 7.30-1.00 and 1.30-4.30 in her bed and then 4.40-6.30 in my bed. I'm really hoping this pattern continues (or even improves lol!) as its quite manageable and I'm liking the fact she's only up for a short time at each feed.

Xxx

Ooo really? Will try that tonight, thanks x

 

[Ammdaz]

Just doing first feed here. She did a 6 hour stretch, yay! I was a bit worried because she'd slept for a good hour before bedtime but it doesn't seem to have affected the night so far.

How's everyone else getting on? Very quiet on here...

Xxx

 

[SpinSugar]

That's great ammdaz!

Were up for feed 1 too. Earlier then I'd like but she did have jabs today and my mum babysat and put her to bed so I guess she may be a bit unsettled!
Xx

 

[Ammdaz]

That's not too bad considering then spin.

We're just having a little cuddle now before I pop her back down. Hoping she sleeps til 5ish now, fingers crossed!

Xxx

 

[Tigger87]

We're up for first feed - 6 hours here too :-D

Been giving him an expressed bottle (as much as it kills me to do that) before bed and it's working wonders!

 

[Clairexx]

Hi ladies, first feed here too, and he also did 6 and a half hours! I wish I'd been able to go to bed then too but found myself babysitting my nephew tonight and he didn't get picked up till nearly 12:30 so I've I my had 3 hours ;-( my eyes are stinging tonight. Xxx

 

[BeeSmall]

Agh so jealous of all the 6 hours. Tigger how much expressed bottle did he take?

We got 3 and a half then 2 and a half and now I can't settle him. He fed loads then needed changing then was sick all over himself so needed changing again! I'm happy to cosleep now but he won't even settle with me, he's really fighting it!!!

 

[umbongo]

We got 6 and a quarter hours. Yay. Ours starts at midnight though x

 

[SpinSugar]

Ugh, two feeds again. I couldnt sleep as I was in so much pain from my boob. Had about 4h sleep in total, but that was very broken. Boo! Xx
