However, there have been a few times when I knew I had to change it and was afraid neither of us would get back to sleep. I have latched him on, and had my hubby change the diaper right in my laugh while I nursed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407422 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:26:18 +0000 Sammyfab 407422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I never tried the dreamfeed because i was too scared to wake up my LO but I wouldn't change him. The whole idea behind it is to not wake and feed them while they're asleep. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407349 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:59:53 +0000 SugarplumsMom 407349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let him sleep. But that's only because it takes forever for my LO to sleep after being woken up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407339 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:57:07 +0000 hilsy85 407339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also @junebugmama: do you change their diaper during a dream feed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407334 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:56:20 +0000 hilsy85 407334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I ended up letting him sleep, and he woke up at around 11: 30, so he slept like 5 hours...then he gave me 3 hour spurts until this morning. I think next time I'll try the dream feed! I always want to try to get us on some sort of a schedule so that I know when he falls asleep in the evening, it's his "bedtime" and he's in pjs, bathed, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407060 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:24:05 +0000 doodlepoodle 407060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally agree with @junebugmama the dream feed is the way to go. Keep LO calm. No PJ's totally drive me nuts too but trust me, not waking the baby up is more important that night time fashion! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407056 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:20:21 +0000 Andrea 407056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let him sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407054 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:13:23 +0000 Running Elley 407054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wake him, change him, feed him and put him back down. Id probably feel conflicted about it too but that's my gut answer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407052 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:12:24 +0000 junebugmama 407052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feed LO before I go to sleep so I get the longest stretch. It's called a dream feed. I would do that, but don't worry about the pj's. You want to keep him almost sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407051 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:11:53 +0000 matador84 407051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let him sleep and you get some sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407050 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:11:09 +0000 mrs. wagon 407050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how old is he again? LMW did something crazy last week-- she went down for her last nap at 4:45pm and didn't wake up again until 4:15am for her night feeding...!!! (that's late even for a normal night when she goes down for bedtime at the normal 6:30pm time!) I was a nervous wreck the entire time and I totally wish I had just gone to bed at like 9 oclock!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407046 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:08:32 +0000 Ree723 407046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd let him sleep and I'd go to bed now as well! If you do wake him for a change and feed, your chances of him going right back down for a long sleep are probably not that high - not saying impossible, but it never seems to work out that way in my experience! I'd just let him sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407025 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 21:53:59 +0000 hilsy85 407025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Thanks :) I know you're never supposed to wake a sleeping baby, but I want his longest sleep stretch to be when I'm sleeping too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407020 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 21:51:13 +0000 chopsuey 407020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just kidding. If you want him to sleep more so you can get some sleep I'd change him, feed him and put him back down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407017 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 21:50:14 +0000 chopsuey 407017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let him sleep!<br /> I never woke my Lo up. Sleep is precious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-should-i-wake-lo-up#post-407009 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 21:44:38 +0000 hilsy85 407009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO last ate at around 5:45-6:00. He fell asleep at 6:30 and has been out since then. It's now 9:45...do I wake him up to feed him and change him, in the hopes that he then goes 4-5 hours from now?? Or should I let him sleep and let him wake himself up when he's hungry? I"m just afraid that if I let him sleep longer, he's going to be up all night! Also, he's still in his outfit from earlier today and it's bothering me that he's not in his pjs, lol. </p>
