I fall asleep if I donf. Which is more restful unless I call assumy </p> <p>^^^ just saw this on my phone this morning. Apparently what I tried to type wile half asleep last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-nursing-right-now#post-2074742 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 08:26:02 +0000 twodoghouse 2074742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-nursing-right-now#post-2074669 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 05:56:38 +0000 Rocker2014 2074669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Third time up tonight nursing, LO has a cold and wakes herself up from coughing, ugh.

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!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-nursing-right-now#post-2074653 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 04:32:09 +0000 MrsB2012 2074653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as above...

You are right, it's best to sort it out when you're back at home. Whatever you decide, be consistent! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1717378 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 20:55:51 +0000 Ocean girl 1717378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FOLLOWING! This. Is.

Life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1717371 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 20:50:58 +0000 Anagram 1717371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: My LOs sleep got worse with the standing up, too. We just recently started letting her cry when she wakes up, because when she wakes up and cries she typically cries 10 min or less, but if we go in and pick her up and put her down, then she'll cry over and over and the whole process ends up taking much longer.</p> <p>If she cries longer than 10 min, we go in and pat her.</p> <p>It's definitely a brutal stage! I hope it passes quickly for you---we are still a work in progress over here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1717180 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 18:12:07 +0000 Chillybear 1717180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsvdv: as I was reading this I was thinking are you hanging around peeking in my windows? Almost as soon as I get to the crib rail she starts to wake up. . I was looking into sleep lady shuffle and not sure if at this age it would even work for us. We leave for the beach on Friday so I think what ever we decide to try will have to be when we get back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1717011 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 16:04:30 +0000 mrsvdv 1717011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you said you're not comfortable with CIO, and neither was I, but it ended up being the only thing that worked for us during this stage. LO would wake up crying and we'd find him standing in his crib, I would try and shush him to sleep (we had used the sleep lady shuffle around 4-5 months, so I tried that again) but it just wasn't working. As soon as I left the room, he'd start again and we had to go through the whole thing all over. It got so bad that he would start crying as soon as he noticed me lowering him over his crib to put him down. Then one night, after waking up 4+ times, my husband told me I either had to shut the door and let him cry, or he'd move baby and crib into the kitchen where we wouldn't be able to hear him... I was exhausted, so I closed the door to the nursery, climbed back into bed and waited for DS to stop crying (we share a wall so I can hear him pretty well). It lasted 15 minutes, not half as long as I had feared... And he's sleeping much much better since! So this novel is only to say that you could always try letting her cry for a little bit, she might surprise you just like my LO did!</p> <p>ETA: DH is not a harsh person, so please don't think he'd put baby in the kitchen for real! See it as a 4 am sleep deprived figure of speech! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1716996 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 15:57:21 +0000 Sapphiresun 1716996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh... following because my LO has been doing the same since she learned how to stand up in the crib.</p> <p>We did pick up, calm down, put down for over five hours 7:30-1:30am the other night, and then she only stayed asleep from 1:30am-3:30 and the was up until 6am, only sleeping till she was up for the day at 7am. Refusing to nap in the same way too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1716987 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 15:54:28 +0000 Kemma 1716987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: fair enough, I was surprised how well I did sleep with my LO! Have you thought about some sort of floor bed so you could lie down with your LO then sneak away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1716969 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 15:45:13 +0000 Chillybear 1716969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: I usually bring her in bed around 4am bc my husbands alarm goes off at 5 and we doze and nurse till 6.but even though i know she's sleeping better/longer in bed with me, I'm not and thats the problem its really starting to affect me during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1716955 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 15:40:21 +0000 Kemma 1716955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: seven months is about when we started bedsharing from the first wakeup, I got very tired of the battle to get LO back into the cot after her night feeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1716700 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 14:03:15 +0000 Chillybear 1716700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep-vol-2#post-1716544 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 13:04:52 +0000 Chillybear 1716544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's Vol. 1 <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep#post-1578313" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/troubleshooting-baby-sleep#post-1578313</a></p> <p>At 7 months (end of april) we did some gentle sleep training and we got to the point where we could put her down drowsy, we also ditched the swaddle and crib nest, introduced a lovie, and worked on naps. She still woke up at 1 and 5 to eat and would go back to sleep.</p> <p>Since then she got 2 bottom teeth and is working on her top teeth. Learned how to roll well, started crawling, pulling up and how to go from laying down to sitting to standing in her crib. </p> <p>Needless to say she is no longer sleeping well. We're back to nursing and rocking to sleep. She's still waking up 2-3 times a night. I find her sitting in the crib mostly asleep or standing crying. Sometimes she just nibbles at 1am (ish) other times she'll go back to sleep without a fuss or feeding. so i think we can safely drop this feeding. </p> <p>My sleep training methods that worked the first time arent working because now she'll just stand and cry. She won't settle herself and god forbid my husband try to help out and get up with her, she screams blood murder. We dont have a video monitor so i really dont feel comfortable with CIO for extended times. And in a battle of wills i'm pretty sure she would win.</p> <p>Help? Please i'm getting desperate....<br /> The other night she went to bed at 8:30 and was up from 10:40pm-1:40pm. I wanted to die at work the next day. </p>
