Just soothie? Although she did take the pacifier this morning. I just wish she took it regularly.</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: I wonder if it is a comfort/ warmth thing. So would we just put the heating pad in the RnP to warm up while getting her down and then take it out when she goes to bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-713003 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 11:32:25 +0000 sorrycharlie 713003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm do you think it's a comfort thing? maybe she likes something on her belly? when LO was a newborn I tried the heating pad in her bed before setting her down and it helped her transition in and stay asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-713000 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 11:30:26 +0000 Mrs. Blue 713000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Hahaha! Some how "of" got auto corrected to iPod, and I was too sleep deprived to notice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712669 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 06:38:49 +0000 Smurfette 712669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Yep!<br /> @Mrs. Blue: iPod pacifier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712666 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 06:18:47 +0000 Mrs. Blue 712666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice on the sleep part because ours don't even sleep 2 hours consistently. :( But, on the pacifier thing, our boys wouldn't keep them in their mouths until I bought some iPod the vanilla scented soothies. I swear something about the vanilla must be crack for babies because both boys immediately we to town on those and now they are better (not perfect, but better) with regular pacifiers, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712663 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 06:08:44 +0000 hilsy85 712663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she swaddled? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712657 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:58:53 +0000 Smurfette 712657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I don't think I can do side nursing cause of her reflux.<br /> @Mrs. High Heels: That gives me hope. She did go almost three hours before the 2nd feeding tonight, so some progress!<br /> @NaturallyCathy: thanks! I am just so ready for one good stretch of sleep. It would make a huge difference. But I guess I need to just be thankfully for what we are getting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712653 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 03:31:08 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 712653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice other than hang in there, things will get better. She'll be set in one routine and then the next day, do something completely uncharacteristic even though you've done nothing new. Then she'll get it in her head to change it up on you again just when you start to adjust. We just have to hang in thete and ride these waves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712643 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 02:13:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 712643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice, but I feel your pain! At 4 weeks, J was also waking up every 2-hours like clockwork. Sometimes my husband would also bring him to our bed and have him sleep on his chest to get us longer stretches of sleep. For the most part though, I pretty much fed him every 2-hours round the clock. He is now 7 weeks and finally starting to stretch out his sleep to 3-4 hours. That extra hour or two sure makes a difference!</p> <p>It'll get better soon!! Hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712640 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 01:57:04 +0000 runsyellowlites 712640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm we co-bed after night wakings so I don't think I'm of any help. Lol! She seems to get some good sleep stretches in so I think she's doing great! Remember that biologically &amp; physiologically we were designed to wake often AND stay close to our parents. =/</p> <p>Side lying nursing has literally saved my life &amp; sanity. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-night-waking#post-712639 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 01:50:53 +0000 Smurfette 712639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is one month old. She usually will sleep around 2 hours when we first put her down. DH will hear her starting to stir and pick her up. If he gets to her before she cries, he can lay down with her in bed and she will sleep on his chest. </p> <p>Tonight we finally got her down and the RnP at 1030, DH got her at 1230, and then she slept till 2. So that was a good stretch of sleep, only we aren't sleeping that whole time. I usually wake up when DH is getting back in bed with her. </p> <p>What can we do to keep her asleep in the RnP instead on DH??? He says he is fine with doing it so I can get more sleep but I would rather him get sleep too. </p> <p>She doesn't really the pacifier. Rare occasion we can get her to take it. </p>
