Hard. First night in my house since E's birth last Monday. Cluster feeding since Friday to work on weight gain and decreased jaundice. Appt today for follow up and lac consult. He's fine right after feeding and then nothing will soothe but the occasional back patting sessions.

I'm running on 2 hrs of sleep and have been for the past few days. I know, Welcome to motherhood, right?

It was ok. 3 hours between feeds until his 6:15 feed where he drank an ounce. I waited 15 min and put him down hoping to sleep another hour and now he's being fussy Gus in his room.

Great! (You saw my update). I wish every night was like last night and in trying to figure out what we did differently. The only thin I can think of is that I ate a lot! Slept for 9 solid hours, wake up and ate and went right back to sleep for another two, just woke up for the day at 7:30. I could try nursing her back to sleep in our bed but I am not going to push my luck :). Plus my left boob I rather engorged since I only gave her the left during the night!

@sweetooth: I had forgotten about the insane cluster feeding at night in those early days. C would pretty much be eating from 5-9. It'll get better. In the meantime just keep eating and drinking enough.

Horrible so far It's 4:40 and I've been up for half an hour with LO (13 months). This is his 4th wake up so far and I'm at about the limit of what my 39 week pregnant self can handle! He won't do back to sleep and I just want to cry!

He got up once at 2 am to eat! That was the third night in a row too. I'm trying not to get used to it, because I'll be really sad if it changes again!

Some good, some bad. P woke at 10:30 (before I'd had a chance to fall asleep). It was very out of character for her. Then she did two 3-hr stretches (yea). Now she's been waking after an hour (not too strange for her to do in the early morning. The real bad part is I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FALL ASLEEP (since 5 AM)! WTF!?!? I am going to be so sleepy today...

Not too bad! She was really exhausted last night so we put her to bed at 6.30pm. She woke at 11.30pm and 11.45pm but went back to sleep as soon as I popped her dummy back in both times. Then she woke at 1.30am and I fed her. Then she went through until 6.45am, when she was woken by DH's alarm. I settled her back to sleep - then she woke up at 7.30am when DH left for work (and slammed the front door). I settled her back down and she slept for another hour, waking happily at 8.30am.

Surprisingly good. We attempted to sleep train A (10 mo) last weekend, and it seems to be sticking. Down at 8:15, about 2 min of fussing, out. Woke at 11, fussed for a minute, back to sleep. Didn't wake up by the time I left for work at 8am. DH works from home and takes her to day care, so he lets her sleep until she wakes up. She's been sleeping a crazy amount lately (8:30pm-10:40am yesterday!), so I assume she's got some crazy growth spurt going on. I'm not going to fight it. After weeks of multiple night time wake ups and the occasional 3am scream fest, I'm just incredibly grateful right now.

Horrific. Two teeth are pushing through at the same time. She woke up around 9 screaming bloody murder and couldn't fall back asleep. She got up for good around 4:15, at 5:15 DH took her and let her sleep on his chest so that I could get 45 minutes of sleep. We've been wanting to do CIO the past 2 weekends but her teething has put a halt on that. Never thought I'd say that I can't wait for her to CIO!!!!

We are on a good streak so I try to enjoy it before the next phase, sickness, tooth does its thing.

Not too bad. I feel very grateful slept from 8:30 to 6,am but is not up for the day. Just nursing right now

@Foodnerd81: thank you, I'm eating and staying super hydrated. Glad you had a great night. I'll live vicariously through the amazing sleep durations of others.

@MsLipGloss: I'm not at the point of losing my mind...yet.
