I like being in a 2 hour earlier time zone. LO is awake for dinner time gatherings and the grandparents are up and willing to babysit when LO wakes (6am here, 4 am at home). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1299395 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:56:19 +0000 NovBaby1112 1299395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try really, really hard not to mess with LO's schedule, but its always hard around the holidays :/ I absolutely do not mess with her nap, especially because she is on just 1 nap now. She is always flexible as far as bedtime goes- she loves being around people and is the life of the party, haha, but I KNOW she is tired and needs her sleep! I am happy we are hosting Christmas tomorrow because then I can put LO to bed when I want! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1299387 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:48:31 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1299387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so worried about the next 5 days or so. We're at my mom's tonight, DH's aunt's tomorrow night, then driving 5+ hours to my dad's until Monday. Kiddo naps well...but only in her swing right now. So I'm pretty sure naps will be hell for the next week...and bedtime, too. Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1299383 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:45:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 1299383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I wish we could keep her schedule a little more but we are going to mil's friends places for different things in the evening. If it was my family it would be easier, or if we were at home. Truly everyone is doing what they can to help but the poor thing is still all out of sorts. </p> <p>She did sleep for a 6.5 hour stretch last night though! Then backto sleep until 8. Today daytime we are keeping on top of her naps until Christmas Eve mass at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1299135 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 08:01:08 +0000 sslm 1299135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I was just about to say, am I the only jerk who makes everyone bend to our schedule??</p> <p>Everyone is adapting so we aren't really messing with LO's schedule. We are incredibly lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1299120 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 07:40:56 +0000 delight 1299120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear ya! I'm totally stressing with the holiday schedule. I don't like messing with her sleep! She's also meeting lots of new people and I can tell she's overwhelmed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1299111 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 07:33:06 +0000 looch 1299111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sucking it up. We had a 6 hour flight across 6 time zones. The first 5 days were all mixed up, but we're on a reasonable amount of sleep now. Luckily we aren't the only ones with kids ( makes it easier when someone else set the precedent) but I a, not looking forward to the trip back home for another 5 days of adjustments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298979 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 23:55:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 1298979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: @grizz: when we swaddle weaned and transitioned to the crib it was almost easier since she was sleeping so horribly- couldn't get worse and eventually she will sleep out of the swaddle and in the crib, so may as well so it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298976 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 23:52:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 1298976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well we are back at our rental house, nursing poor baby to sleep. We did get to eat dinner while mil held we, then Dh, c, and I headed out while everyone else stayed. She did so great considering everything but I'm tired! And she actually did great with people she just met holding her. I'm hoping she sleeps and naps better tomorrow. </p> <p>@MamaMoose: they made you wake the baby?! Who does that? The only time I'd ever wake her is if we had to leave to go somewhere- they could have just waited!! </p> <p>These poor kids. Holidays are supposed to be fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298967 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 23:41:25 +0000 scotchbonnet 1298967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: hear hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298954 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 23:32:41 +0000 immabeetoo 1298954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: ugh that sounds totally sh*tty (can I swear on HB??)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: If I were you.. I'd totally go home! That sounds awful.</p> <p>We are the jerks who don't really mess with LO's schedule. Tonight my Mom yelled at me for not sitting down to eat dinner with everyone else at 5 when Lo normally eats his dinner at 545 and would not have hungry that early. Sorry, I'm not sorry. Friends want to see us/LO, it has to be around his nap. I will only have empathy for any future friends with kids and accommodate them once ours is older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298950 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 23:30:15 +0000 Boheme 1298950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: ha! Same here. We have absolutely nothing to lose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298941 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 23:22:48 +0000 Revel 1298941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You just made me realize a silver lining to LO's poor sleep... I don't worry about this much because there's nothing to screw up! </p> <p>In seriousness, I hope you and LO get rest and your trip goes smoothly :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298881 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:30:47 +0000 MamaMoose 1298881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just pretty much lectured my husband on the fact that I'm sick of messing with her sleep and for the rest of this week we aren't doing it. If that means we aren't the last ones to leave somewhere or the first to show up so be it. Our flight was delayed last night so we had to cancel dinner with my in laws. Tonight my parents were kind enough to host them all for dinner so they could see the baby. They showed up 30 minutes early, forced us to wake her from her nap, and then way overstayed their welcome past bedtime. I've now spent over and hour trying to get an overtired little one to sleep. And she won't go to anyone but me so she and I are the only ones who suffer. To say I'm pissed would be a massive understatement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298867 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:24:21 +0000 lawbee11 1298867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm sorry :( This was me at Thanksgiving...it sucked!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298862 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:22:25 +0000 scotchbonnet 1298862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh not looking forward this either. Especially since lo is recovering from a bad cold and cough. Had a massive fight with dh over this as he wanted us to go visit and spend the night with his family on Christmas Eve, and then all day Christmas day, AND THEN get on an overnight flight from Heathrow to NJ. I flatly refused. Kid's 4 months old, only now recovering from this rotten cold, and then going to have to deal with jetlag and all. Apparently I am evil and selfish for wanting to minimise the upheaval for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298861 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:21:19 +0000 ALV91711 1298861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This makes me so glad that we are just at home and don't have to mess with his schedule at all. </p> <p>Good luck ladies. They may be tired, but they will survive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298848 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:14:25 +0000 leelee 1298848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a trooper you are, I would've definitely called it a night. Tomorrow is our hectic day. We have a brunch, dinner and then late dinner... No clue when DD is going to nap and we won't get home till late :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298845 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:11:53 +0000 brady80 1298845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Count me in! I'm dreading the next two nights. We have a party tomorrow night that starts at 7 ( she usually goes to bed at 730) followed by dinner at my parents around 830. I plan to have her take a late nap around 5??!! Then Christmas night we drive and hour and half to my cousins house for late dinner and we usually drive home around 11pm, so we'll put her down, wake her up, put her in the car, wake her up again and put her to bed. Should be awesome. I'm trying to be in the moment since it's her first Christmas but I'm dreading a tired baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298844 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:11:13 +0000 pl0508 1298844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bless you. We are home but NOTHING irks me like screwing with Jacks schedule. I'm so sorry ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298841 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:08:13 +0000 swedishfish 1298841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm worried about messing with R's sleep for the next two nights. We will probably just bug out of the festivities early tomorrow night. If she was older I'd say she could just go with the flow but I don't want to mess up her sleep now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-already-tired-of-messing-with-los-sleep#post-1298836 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:05:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 1298836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even Christmas Eve and the poor thing doesn't know what's going on. People are being accommodating but between a long late flight, and a time change, and now a "casual" dinner party, I just feel so bad for my tired baby. Currently nursing in the guest room at 8 (10 pm at home) while everyone eats dinner. Fun. </p> <p>Everyone is being lovely and accommodating but what I really want is to be lame and go home and all go to bed. Still have another late night tomorrow and then Christmas. </p> <p>Enough bag humbug from me. How's everyone else dealing with the holiday schedule upheaval? </p>
