How do you keep yourself awake during middle of the night nursing sessions?

This.....lol

Same. I use it as my FB, HB, Instagram, etc time.

@Mrs. Blue: holla - i mostly just play games out check social media on my phone to stay awake. Between the newborn and toddler I've only gotten 2 hrs of sleep so far and DH leaves for work in 2 hours.

I do the same as above... Hb, fb, Instagram... I tend to stay away from shopping as I buy way too much in the middle of the night..

@Radish: oh man, that's rough!! Last night LO cluster fed from about 9pm to 3am and I was falling asleep/crying over him for half of it... I can't imagine having a toddler needing attention on top of that! Tonight is going much better but I still don't know what to do with myself! I'm in fb, ig, and here obviously, but at the third wake up, not much has changed haha!!

@Circusbee: I watched a lot of tv, found logistic read and HB.

Ugh we are going on a 1.5 hour cluster feed. I was trying to pat her to sleep while she laid on my chest.. And she barfed all over me. I just washed the sheets today too. And now that she barfed up a bunch.. She has all that room in her belly again. Ughh

Third time up tonight nursing, LO has a cold and wakes herself up from coughing, ugh. I use my Kindle, internet, social media, games, etc.

I actually try NOT to stay awake during MOTN feedings. Granted, my kids are older (9 months) but when I get up to nurse them I try to keep my phone off so they don't get distracted by the light. I don't mind falling asleep with them nursing, as they're big enough now not to suffocate in my boobs or anything, haha. I also like to imagine that if I am relaxed and sleepy, they will become relaxed and sleepy too. Like I'm transmitting tranquil vibes through my boobs, ha! Even when they were little, I was never a MOTN tv watching nurser as i have twins and was always trying to keep baby 2 asleep while I worked on baby 1. I did read the entirety of Fault in our Stars and many many sleep books when they went through the four month regression and I was up SO MUCH.
