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.

Also with DD1 tried to phone her HV by " dialling"the number on my laptop keyboard (several times) and assuming my phone line must be faulty.

Sleep deprived hub and I searching for our newborn frantically.....hun was holding her!!

You probably made his day!

When DD was four weeks old, I was absolutely knackered. I was walking with her in her pram when a couple of acquaintances stopped to admire her. They asked what her name was and I had to tell them that I couldn't remember, I really couldn't.

Oh yes, so tired that we forget that the clocks went forward in March and were late for lunch at my Mum's. Only realised when I rang her to let her know we were setting off and she told me. I burst into tears, had a rant at mum, told her it was her fault and we weren't coming. Calmed down after a few mins rang back and apologised. Lunch was lovely.

Iamthedogsmother sorry but I'm still laughing! Your poor thing

Hope you get some sleep soon! I did something similar when my baby was small, she had a crib next to my bed and I made a bottle of formula milk up in the night for her, went to shake it but hadn't put the lid on properly, my man woke up covered in powder and weak milky water... wasn't funny at the time but it's definatley something we laugh about now :)

I also walked half way to town before I realised I still had my slippers on!

Sleep deprivation is he worst!

I used to have a thing when mine were little about making sure the bath water was emptied after the bath just in case they toppled in later. Dh did bathtime and forgot to empty water. I went in to the bathroom after the children had gone to bed and noticed bath water. I had to go and check each child in their beds to make sure they hadn't drowned before realising that they would still be in the bath if had drowned .... I was that tired. Also shut my hand in car door twice and food mixer when very sleep derived!

My car reg was called out on the tannoy at the supermarket while I was shopping with 3 dc under 5. I was asked to return to my car. I had left the keys in the door. I made a coffee, took the milk out of the fridge. Couldn't find the cup of coffee. Made another one. When I put the milk back in the fridge, there was the first coffee.

I used to keep my coffee jar in the same cupboard as my Bisto gravy in a glass jar, I swear to God, in the same week, one night I made 'coffee' with Gravy granules, and a few days later, warmed up my dinner and poured Nescafe all over it...I still ate it!

I would then pass out with the baby in front of Baby TV, and wake up and put my clothes in the fridge....then get up, make breakfast for seven and get my other four kids ready for school, and then realise it was saturday.

Cleopatra enjoyed bathing in milk...your babe will have gorgeous skin ;-) x

I put my phone in the sink and tried to plug my soup bowl in to charge 🙃

I had the bad habit of leaving my car lights on, old car so no handy beeps! Well most of the times I managed to get it started, but the one time I was very far from home for a meeting it wouldn't start, damn battery had died! So a guy I was in the meeting with offered to bump start it, he snapped the key in the ignition. Me being 5months pregnant just broke down, causing the men folk to hurry around and get me a company car to drive home!

I blurted out 'little monkey fucker'*

I'm crying on the bus here!

I flooded my kitchen not once but three times, running the taps to do the washing up and falling asleep. It gets easier

I got really irate when I just couldn't find my hairbrush. Was stomping round house when my husband pointed out it was in my hand......

I arrived at a meeting in the last possible second due to a parking nightmare, grabbed my notebook and pen and started to take notes. Wondered why nothing was happening. It took longer than you would imagine to realise I was trying to write with a tampon.

The very first time we took dd1 shopping we packed all the car up with nappy bag, pushchair, car seat, (dd1 of course) etc. After driving down the road for five minutes I said to dh "I'm sure we forgot something" drive back to check and we'd left porch and front door wide open

Making same dd a beakerq of squash the other day, added water and then topped up with fabric softener instead of squash

I've done the forgot you have a boob out. Gave DD1 a last minute feed in my car before dropping her into nursery. Got out and was walking into the nursery when a man on the car park smiled (smirked...) at me - I smiled back and hello thinking how friendly - then just through the door realised. Worse I'd put DD's back pack on that shoulder so I was thrusting that boob forward....
I have done the why won't the front door open whilst clicking my car key at it - and also attempted to put my door key in the car door and not being understand for a few seconds why I couldn't....
Probably the weirdest - sitting at my desk reading something for work on my computer whilst trying not to fall asleep. The cat jumped up onto the desk in front of me ...and then proceeded to lick my face - it had 'washed' half my face before I realised what it was doing wasn't 'normal' and actually quite gross.
(has never attempted to do it since ...maybe the lack of sleep by being disturbed by a crying baby all the time was confusing it as well)

Just adding mine before I go back and read the rest of the thread...

Pouring orange juice on my cereal
Pouring coffee on my cereal
Putting orange juice in my coffee
Putting freshly made coffee (from the drip coffee maker) into the kettle

There seems to be a theme here...! And this is most mornings! In my defence I am extremely groggy in the morning from some medication I am on.

I was very proud of how well I had taken to motherhood. Was at a big family wedding with lots of extended family and took out small jar of lovingly homemade puree to feed ds with. Got distracted chatting to someone, turned back to the jar of food to find it empty. After demanding to know who had eaten it I realised that was an empty one (unwashed) from earlier in the week that I hadn't taken out of the bag. The full one was still in the bag

I have done loads of these, boob out at tne door, milk in the cupboard, keys in the frobt door....

One night I was trying to feed Ds's ear and wondering why he was still crying.

Oh and I had my tesco shop dwlivered to work. Twice. On saturday. They were actually very helpful!

I went back to work while chronically sleep-deprived.

After a big meeting one day, came home and took my (minimal) make-up off with nail varnish remover - worked a treat though did sting a bit!

Also had to drive round a mini roundabout outside work three times to work out which exit I needed - having been working there for five years.

Sending you sympathy and matchsticks...

Put an entire pack of nappies in the washing machine with the new baby clothes.. ruined everything including the washer.

Proper meltdown crying in Sainsburys (me, not baby)
