Once she was about 3 months i just put her in bed with me and nursed side lying while I slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889229 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 13:03:15 +0000 lady grey 1889229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oliviapope: I love my kindle paperwhite! I didn't get it until after LO weaned, but it would have been perfect. I'm able to download book for free from our local library, its awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889211 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 12:26:08 +0000 californiadreams 1889211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in the first couple of months of LOs life I watched the entire series of Seinfeld. I watched it on my iphone with headphones so i could click it on wherever i was, night or day. It was actually interesting to watch how the show evolved in such a short time span. we all remember Seinfeld as one of the best sitcoms of all time, but the last couple of seasons it got really poor and i was no longer surprised it ended when it did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889206 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 12:06:11 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1889206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it took longer, I was on Hellobee or reading on my phone. Now that she eats for 5 minutes, I just nurse side lying and close my eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889203 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 11:49:28 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1889203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the first two weeks, we were up for longer stretches so I would watch shows on Netflix or nick at nite. So excited HIMYM reruns were on lol</p> <p>Now she nurses a few minutes and goes right back down (usually) whih is so nice</p> <p>I'm the type that wakes up, so if I start reading/watching/whatever I get engrossed and want to continue even after baby is back down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889200 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 11:36:32 +0000 Applesandbananas 1889200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did side lying around 5-6m and I just slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889199 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 11:34:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1889199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Surprisingly for many any months I was able to stay awake for the majority of a newborn 45 minute long nursing session without any stimulation! Then I started falling asleep sitting up in bed so we would just Co sleep after her first MOTN session. Now she has about a 2 or 3 minute session once a night so it's not hard to pop in her room &amp; then go back to mine without issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889092 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 08:34:43 +0000 Canoli 1889092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I searched Pinterest and pinned way too many things, with this little guy I bring him in bed with me and fall asleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889089 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 08:20:45 +0000 Smurfette 1889089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I am still addicted! I haven't nursed in a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889085 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 08:13:58 +0000 delight 1889085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: oh yes I played tins of CC in my early BF days. I'm not nursing anymore but DH and I are still addicted.</p> <p>When I wasn't playing CC, I'd browse the internet/hellobee in the middle of the night. After 6 months though I was finding the light from my iPad was waking her up more so I stopped fiddling around on it. By that point she was just getting up for one quick feed at 5:30am anyways so I was in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889082 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 08:06:24 +0000 Smurfette 1889082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I played a lot of candy crush </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889056 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 07:15:52 +0000 artsyfartsy 1889056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now I rest or go back to sleep because we always nurse side lying in the MOTN. Before when I had to use the Boppy I would watch Netflix or play on my phone. I remember once there was a thread titles "Why are you up so late" on HB and 90% of the answers were "feeding LO". Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889044 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 06:48:01 +0000 erwoo 1889044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched netflix movies and def. caught up on HB as well. Or just caught up on shows in general on my iPad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889042 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 06:38:42 +0000 catomd00 1889042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mauxie: yep this!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1889036 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 06:24:12 +0000 twodoghouse 1889036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to read on my phone, but now they get pretty distracted by the light. Plus, MOTN wakeups are short now (cuddle, nurse back to sleep in 5 minutes!) so I just sit there in the dark. Sometimes I fall asleep until my DH comes to check on me or the other baby wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1888998 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 00:56:02 +0000 stargal 1888998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TV, phone or nurse laying down and sleep ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1888989 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 00:27:48 +0000 mauxie 1888989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: exactly this! I am basically in zombie mode.. walk down the hall in the dark, nurse ~10 minutes, lay LO down in his crib, walk back to bed and try to fall asleep again as quickly as I can :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1888982 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:28:13 +0000 Espion 1888982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched so. much. netflix. I was too tired to even contemplate reading anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1888977 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:01:13 +0000 Emsmems 1888977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was a newborn and up all the time and took forever to nurse, I usually got my phone out and was in FB and HB. Now, at 8.5 months and one wake up, I go in, lay my head back on the glider, and close my eyes while he nurses for 10-15ish min. Or I just watch him nurse and soak in the closeness. Then straight to bed and usually right to sleep again. I've found now that doing anything (like playing on my phone) wakes me up too much and I have a harder time going back to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1888973 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 22:38:45 +0000 Ginabean3 1888973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would watch DVR' d stuff and use the time to try new shows....it's how I got addicted to 19 kids and counting and various other 30 minute quickie reality shows that don't take too much concentration to watch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1888971 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 22:33:13 +0000 Oliviapope 1888971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I want to get a kindle paperwhite for this reason (not due til January). Interested to hear what others say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-nursing-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1888966 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 22:23:47 +0000 ctownmacaron 1888966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually get up twice to feed ds in the middle of the night. I fiddle on my phone, read this blog, etc. what do you do? Any good games or websites to browse?? </p>
