I was always way too alert when handling the baby to be able to fall asleep! And we never mastered side-laying, so it just didn't happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613234 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:26:48 +0000 Trailmix 1613234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All. The. Time. For a while, it was literally every single night. Now that we're down to one wake-up per baby, it happens less often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613191 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:11:29 +0000 Grace 1613191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never sitting up. I've fallen asleep lots in the side-lying position though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613185 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:09:45 +0000 Dandelion 1613185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I always doze off during the motn wakings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613155 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:59:07 +0000 avivoca 1613155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every night. Usually around 4:00 I bring her in bed with me so I can just switch sides and still get some sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613133 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:54:32 +0000 PurplePeony 1613133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. It happened more often than I liked when she was tiny, but then not much for a couple months. The past week or two, I've been doing it again, though...I think all the adrenaline has worn off by now and just left the tired behind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613117 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:50:55 +0000 MamaJ 1613117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. the other night DS was sick and woke up so I sat in the chair and rocked him. I fell asleep. Not sure if he did because I woke up with him wiggling and pointing at his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613114 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:50:30 +0000 kiddosc 1613114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much every night through his first year. DH would come and wake me up if he woke up and I wasn't in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613105 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:48:41 +0000 nana87 1613105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613101 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:47:40 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1613101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! Especially when I bring LO into my bed to nurse her - we often both fall asleep for an hour or so...with her still latched. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1613088 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:44:09 +0000 indi 1613088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time for night feedings, especially the first month. I either cozy up in the recliner w/ the boppy keeping LO in place, or bring her into bed with me to nurse so I know she won't be falling anywhere. I like the bed better because if I'm laying down and she's nursing on top I don't wiggle or roll at all. I usually wake up to her sleeping on her boob-pilllow and cuddling the other one. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612874 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:51:24 +0000 Amelieisme 1612874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always fall asleep! I set an alarm so that I can wake up to put her back in bed. I nurse her in my bed so I'm not worried about her falling more the SIDS risk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612873 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:51:10 +0000 bookwormmama 1612873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost every night in the beginning but now it happens less often. When we "get up" for the day we both always end up taking an hour nap in the chair while he's nursing :silly: I always wake up feeling disoriented too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612864 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:48:44 +0000 T-Mom 1612864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes definitely..

I set alarms on my phone to switch sides &amp; to put her back to bed but sometimes it still doesn't work! I hate it because I end up only getting a few hours of sleep in my bed :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612752 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:19:05 +0000 Alivoo01 1612752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!! I was always afraid I'd drop him so I'd prop my leg up on the glider so if my leg slid off, I'd wake up and he'd still be okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612729 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:11:49 +0000 tlcbaby 1612729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just never thought it would be so easy to sleep sitting up. If it weren't for the boppy, I feel like I would have dropped him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612727 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:11:12 +0000 rattles 1612727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh for sure. I don't think I'd have slept otherwise in the early months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612715 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:08:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 1612715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for that long sitting up, though I'm sure I've dozed off for minutes at a time. But I've definitely fallen asleep side lying nursing and woken up later with her sleeping still latched. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612714 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:08:03 +0000 Boheme 1612714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first 6 months of C's life! haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612711 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:07:42 +0000 tlcbaby 1612711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: @Mamaof2: :grin: That makes me feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612710 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:07:33 +0000 Mamaof2 1612710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: :silly: yes!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612708 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:07:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1612708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost every night the first year. We practically slept in the glider together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-asleep-while-nursing#post-1612702 Mon, 05 May 2014 09:06:36 +0000 tlcbaby 1612702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, A woke up to nurse at 11:40pm last night. Cut to my eyes popping open and not knowing where I was at 12:30am. I was in the rocking chair, A was still latched and we had both been sleeping pretty much the entire time. Ever happen to anyone else? </p>
