She's probably going through a growth spurt if she's sleeping more and that deeply. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100708 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:17:30 +0000 turkeylurkey 1100708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I'm getting caught up on the comments. When mine was that age, I also did the whole let a sleeping baby sleep. I tried to keep him in a one-piece outfit most of the time so that I didn't have to worry with changing him at night if he was already asleep. But I also found sleep-sacks to be the best because they are so much easier to get in and out of without waking him. Also, I struggled with the pumping question. I always ended up pumping into a bottle. That was nice because then DH could do a feeding that night while I slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100698 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:13:12 +0000 turkeylurkey 1100698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age skip the bath! I figured at that age if they aren't crawling around on the dirty floor then skip the bath. I think most people give newborns a bath every few days. Or they use a moist wash cloth to wipe them down... ie. the face and head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100544 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:28:11 +0000 lemondrop 1100544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I'd watch for trends, maybe she wants bedtime moved up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100282 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:52:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 1100282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: that's so awesome! Way to go M! When C does that I find she just really needsthe sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100273 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:43:23 +0000 Smurfette 1100273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Wow!! That is great sleep. My baby never slept that much during growth spurts. She just wanted to eat all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100266 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:41:02 +0000 lawbee11 1100266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @Cherrybee: She is just now waking up for the day!! (It's 7:40 here). She had three wakings since 3:45 yesterday afternoon and they were all easy--I changed her, she nursed, I burped her and she was back down. She must be going through one hell of a growth spurt--I am in shock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100140 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 05:50:25 +0000 Cherrybee 1100140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question - what was the outcome? My LO is 8 weeks old and Im strict with her routine but the last couple of days she's been napping near bedtime and I don't have a clue what to do!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1100134 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 05:18:14 +0000 Smurfette 1100134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: how did she sleep?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099852 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:15:35 +0000 lawbee11 1099852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Haha, love it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099795 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:54:49 +0000 littlek 1099795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I'd skip the bath.

At that age changes in routines won't be long lasting :) Sleep baby, sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099729 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:38:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 1099729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I am always nervous about that too- and it's exactly what happened the first time I ever pumped. </p> <p>Again C has pulled this and I thought for sure shed wake up hungry but one if the only times she ever slept 7 straights hours was a night like that. You could pump the other side just so you can sleep comfortably but the side he started in will still have some. But if you don't feel like it I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099717 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:36:18 +0000 lawbee11 1099717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Ha or eat chocolate peanut butter ice cream?! I napped for 2 hours around 4 (while she was napping), so I am wide awake now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099706 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:34:00 +0000 Smurfette 1099706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: nah!

At that age I was always nervous that the second I finished pumping baby would wake up hungry. I would just relax and enjoy this little break she's giving you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099675 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:26:26 +0000 lawbee11 1099675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @MamaMoose: @Smurfette: Do you think I should pump soon? This is the first night in forever that she hasn't cluster fed before bed. She usually cluster feeds from 6:30ish to 8, then nurses again before bed. She nursed at 7, but only on one side and only for about 10 minutes. Not sure what I should do now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099668 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:24:21 +0000 californiadreams 1099668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sounds like she is asleep already. i was gonna say as long as you don't wake her to change her, then go for it. back then (and now to a certain extent), i subscribe to the "never wake a sleeping baby" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099648 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:18:01 +0000 ALV91711 1099648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope she stays asleep a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099638 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:15:56 +0000 lawbee11 1099638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I hope so!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099613 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:06:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 1099613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: fingers crossed she stays asleep for a long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-should-i-still-bathe-her#post-1099609 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:05:29 +0000 lawbee11 1099609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I swaddled her bottom half with a swaddleme and put her down.

She might wake up at a weird time and you can change to pjs and the swaddle then. C has been having random days where she sleeps a ton lately too. </p>
