To pour an entire bottle of breastmilk on my sleepy baby?

[Iwasjustabouttosaythat]

Because I am so sleep deprived I forgot to put the lid on? I just put it to her lips and poured it all over her. Poor little thing.

And how many cups of tea can you make by pouring cold water over your tea? 3 in a row? Sigh.

Anyone care to share stupid things they've done due to sleep deprivation? Make me feel better about my wet, smelly baby.

Went to the corner shop for milk bought two four pinters and walked straight through the house and put the milk into the recycling box and instantly forgot what just happened. It was only when I went back to the shop for more milk and the guy in the shop made a comment I realised what I'd done.

I took DC4 for a newborn hearing test and for the life of me could not remember his date of birth. I reeled off all the other DC's birthdays, mine, DH's, my Mums and our wedding anniversary! I was so embarrassed I was on the verge of tears, the incredibly kind ,lovely receptionist helped my narrow it down by saying things like he must have been born this month or last month,

Left baby in buggy in Mothercare, walked out quite merrily. Didn't get far until I thought hang on I've forgotten something....

I threw a bottle of hot formula over my guest once, lid not on properly when making it up. Thank goodness it wasn't the baby!

I measured out 8 teaspoons of instant coffee into my cup. Those days of growth spurts and endless bottle making 🙄.

I've also made a coffee in a bottle before too.

I've washed disposable nappies, put frozen food in the cupboards and lord only knows how many things in the bin? Copious cups of coffee made with cold water...

I literally left the house without trousers the other week. Mortified.

Several times I have put the washing machine going after putting detergent and conditioner in it,but no washing. Let it go through the whole wash cycle,opened the door and then thought where's it gone?

I thought this was AIBU because she won't drink the milk, won't wake up, etc.

NewPuppyMum I admit I thought the same when I saw the title! Was anticipating the OP getting flamed because she had poured milk over her sleeping baby in a desperate attempt to wake her up!

I once put a plate with a metal rim in the microwave. The only way I can describe it is fireworks in the microwave.

Just remembered that I tried to put the dog in the washing machine the other day. In my defence, she's a small white fluffy dog, and was lying on the pile of white towels and bath mats in front of the machine. Took me a good 60 seconds to work out why the laundry was wriggling....

I had someone knock at the front door. I walked to the front door and knocked back. When I realised what I'd done I was too embarrassed to open it and see who it was so promptly hid until they went away.

I decided it was time to put clean covers on my dining chairs today. Got them out, then headed straight to the washing machine and put them in.
I realised my mistake as I was measuring out the automatic liquid.
DH is the best for this though.
He has left all sorts of odd things on the fridge, thrown a freshly made sandwich in the bin (he normally can't seem to 'find' the bin, grr) attempted to get dressed and couldn't work out why his socks wouldn't go on as they belonged to our 6 year old and left his cycling glasses on the floor next to his bicycle at work and a forklift ran over them. He has no idea why he did that.
This is the best one.
He walked up to me with ds2 on my lap and proceeded to wipe my nose, then went to put the tissue in the bin. He came back in and said "What the hell did I just do? I meant to wipe ds2!"
It was only at this moment I realised what had happened.
😁 😴

10storey - that's hilarious! 😂😂😂😂

My youngest is 12. Last year I finally stopped asking dh if he wanted a tissue when he sneezed. I don't think I put anything away in the wrong place but I've often recently wondered why there is no milk in the cupboard next to the fridge.

Iirc baby brain was proved not to be a think..

My youngest is not 12

I was going to the corner shop a few weeks ago. DP chased down the stairs from the flat to meet the lift at the bottom to ask me to get some broccoli too. Repeated the list to him and off I went. Got the shopping I'd originally been going for, got outside the shop and remembered him asking me to get something else but couldn't for the life of me remember what it was. Had to phone him in the end!

I don't have a baby, but do have ME, which causes similar dopey brain moments.

Brilliant thread!

I have also stood at my front door pressing the button on my car key. Most perturbed that the door didn't just open.

And I have wandered round the house, looking for my mobile, while speaking to my DM. On my mobile.

I once did that 'eating over a breastfeeding baby' thing and dropped a spoonful of cous cous straight into my baby girl's ear. Messy.

Not me but my DD when her DD was 2.5 and going through a phase of waking up numerous times a night. I was on the bus with sleep deprived DD,I was accompanying her to a hospital appointment. Her DD wasn't with us,she was at home with daddy. A fire engine went screaming past and DD,totally forgetting that her DD wasn't with her said in an excited,high-pitched voice 'oooh look! A big red fire engine!' . Mind you,my late DM did this with me a few times with emergency vehicles. I must have been about 18 at the time. And she didn't have the excuse of being sleep deprived!

Carefully made vegetable stock (had to be all homemade for my weaning pfb) then strained it straight down the plughole. I couldn't work out what was wrong or why I needed a heap of over boiled veg for ages, just stood by the sink feeling confused

I tried to breastfeed my partner's head once in the night. I also poured a kettle of boiling water into the container we keep all the tea bags in. It took me ages to work out what had gone wrong.

Walked through a doorway carrying my newborn daughter. I wasn't used to her head sticking out and whacked it off the door frame . Almost eight years ago now.

Left keys on the outside of the front door. Keys have car keys on them and car is in the drive...

Regularly turn up for things like swimming before the term has started. I've done this several times.

PyongyangKipperbang that thread would be either 7 or 9 years ago!

Second day at home out of hospital I put my iPhone in the fecking washing machine.

£240 quids worth of doziness, right there.
