Anyone ever think that when they're putting their LO's down?
-
definitely! we have a 2-week old, and i'm always nervous for the first 15 minutes after we put him down, wondering if it's going to be one of those times he falls asleep for a while or if he's going to start fussing.
-
He's usually pretty awesome at falling asleep when we put him down but I always try to will him back to sleep if he wakes up early in the morning or takes a short nap!
-
Yes! She whimpered for 32 minutes last night before she fell asleep.....
-
@AutumnLove: How did you last 32 minutes?
-
I'm always thinking that during long middle of the night feeds or when I'm desperate for a nap.
-
@MsLipGloss: I went into another room and turned on the TV. I was rocking her to sleep for the last few days and I want to break the habit.
-
I think "Go the F to Sleep" (in Samuel L. Jackson's voice, of course)!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: omg. I love that book.
-
@MrsJacks: That's exactly what I think! I also sometimes imagine certain things (like stories) in Morgan Freeman's voice.
@AutumnLove: (((Hugs))) I am having a baby nurse come in this week to help with sleeping . . . I am terrified! But I have got to get more than 1.5-2 hours of continuous sleep at night. I can barely function as is.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: haha this is exactly what I think!
-
yes definitely!
-
-
@MsLipGloss: Thanks! I think moving threw things off for my LO! Good luck with the baby nurse!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: ME TOO! lol. My BFF got me that book as a baby shower gift and now I think that (in his voice) every. single. time. she's fighting sleep.
-
Ive been thinking this all day
-
We will not be sleep training A but I do think "Go the f to sleep!" on nights that it is taking forever to get her to sleep. On some nights it takes up to 1.5 hours to get her down.
-
My muscles have been sore this week and I think it's because I lay there tensed up after I lay him down in the middle of the night just waiting for him to cry. It makes me so anxious... I just want him to sleep all night! Too much to ask? lol
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Thank you! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who heard that in my head when I saw the title to this post...
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Yessssss!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: yes! I read it to my husband on the Kindle during rough nights, it makes us giggle.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Me too!
-
I go as far as to sing it to him (to the tune of brahm's lullaby)- "go to sleep, little boy, and I'll see you on waking, go to sleep, little guy, and I'll see you in dreamland, duh duh daaaa" and then I usually just hum the rest.
Oh and I saw the best ecard thing "you better be this hard to get to bed when you're 18"
-
@Mrs. Jacks: hhajaha that's my lo favorite book!
-
Every single time I put him down. Especially during long middle-of-the-night feedings
-
Every nap and night I think this. We also rock our LO to sleep. Hoping to break it eventually. Just wish he'd go longer than 2-3 hours at a sleep.
