How to stay awake during night feeds part 10!

Brand new thread

Blimey, baby lazza has been asleep for nearly 3.5 hours! I should probably wake her?! But she must be shattered from all the rubbish nights, being ill etc. toddler lazza is at pre-school so I think she's making the most f the peace & quiet! I settled her in pushchair at 11, she woke at midday but was clearly still tired. I fed her and she fell back to sleep on me. I put her on the sofa at 1.30 to get some lunch & thought that'd wake her....oh, she's just woken up....with a great big smile on her face

Aw bless.

Baby larle has had a massive meltdown at his Nanas today while I was at Pilates. He screamed for nearly an hour, his cheeks and nose are bright red now. My poor boy. He has a cold and is teething, not a good day to leave with his nana. And I had no milk to leave her but I was only gone for 80 minutes

Just had to call dr, baby larles fontenelle is depressed. And after the crying fit this aft was a bit worried.

He said its likely to be dehydration esp considering he has fed to sleep all afternoon. Feeding again now, might give him some boiled, cooled water if it doesn't improve soon.

It's just worry after worry

[abi2790]

Poor Babylarle :(. Hope he is okay.

Ds had a long nap today for the first time in weeks so I'm hoping for a good night.

Well, tonight's got disaster written all over it. Second set of jabs this afternoon but babypants hasn't been feeding well all day (all under 20 mins), has a watery eye that could be conjunctivitis and now I have the added bonus of sore thighs. She threw up after her bath and screamed during her last feed until she fell asleep. I have no idea how long she'll stay down for - have given her calpol so hopefully it'll see her through. Poor little mite

[larlemucker]

Lots of poorly babies tonight then

How is BabyLarle? Better I hope.

Any I hope the magic pink liquid does the trick. We were supposed to have 2nd jabs tomorrow but the GP is off sick so now it's the week after next!

Madam has been fussing with her feeds all evening & I can't seem to settle her tonight. Fingers crossed it happens soon!

Kettle is going on. Earl grey for me. anyone?

[larlemucker]

Camomile here please, forgot to have mine tonight!

Baby larle seems ok, been chatting away on mat this eve. He has 2 very red cheeks tho so think he is teething

Poor baby larle and babypants

Babythorne is asleep. She settled at around 8pm.
Just need ds to sleep through. I'm seriously sleep deprived.
Good night wishes to all of you and your babies.

[Anypants]

Just a decaf for me please - i'm off to bed as she's still soundo. Make hay and all that. Catch you later ladies and best of sleepy nights to you all...

[GoatBongosAnonymous]

Getting well wishes to all the poorly babies. And lots of sleep for their parents!
I had my first social outing tonight since BG was born! First in ten months, so. But never fear, I remembered how to do it!! (the pizza was yum)

[Emilythornesbff]

Second feed here. good ess I am tired.

Glad you had a good evening goats
Good idea soyo.

Sending soothing healing thoughts to poorly bubbles.

[Anypants]

Here we go - it's been a while since I last saw this time of the morning! First feed and she's not screaming through it so hopefully she feels ok. Trying not to touch her legs though - ouch
DH still up - has been discovering instant messaging on facebook and chatting with a friend. Nice to have the company!
Although, now i'll have a strong please...

[larlemucker]

Glad you had a good time goat.

Second feed here. We're off out tonight, pizza and cinema. Finally going to see Star Trek, can't wait!

Yes I am geek and proud!!!

[HadALittleFaithBaby]

Just finished chest feed of night (can't complain, she settled at 10.30). Just waiting til she's sleepy enough to transfer. Quite pleased to have managed without any screaming. We have visitors. Obviously they're understanding but avoiding screening is quite positive! :)

[HadALittleFaithBaby]

first feed....I guess it did come from my chest!

[SoYo]

Hi all, first feed here after a very long and screamy bedtime. Daddy finally had the magic touch & got her down. It would be lovely to have smoother bedtimes but it is also very nice not having first feed until now.

Good work on the evening out Goat. I'm very much looking forward to that but suspect it might be a while with my little bottle refuser!

[Anypants]

Up again - quite tired now.
I hope she goes for a few more hours and doesn't think it's morning.

[Emilythornesbff]

Oh any those jabs.
Babythorne has her third lot next week. I'm dreading it. Poor little mite.

[Anypants]

Yay! She gave me another few hours - allbeit noisy ones. She was flinging her head from side to side and grunting a lot so I had to sacrifice my right hand from under the nice warm duvet to have it resting on her chest. Brrrrrr. Where the heck is summer? I want to be warm again at night
Hope everyone else had better nights. Kettle's on

[abi2790]

Well ds finally settled at 10 and didn't have a feed until 4 although he woke up about 3 times inbetween. However when I got up to get him out of his cot (he was crying) he fell asleep straight away. I think it may be that he moves around a lot in his sleep and wakes himself then struggles to self settle but he must be learning as he got himself back to sleep 3 times last night (once I was out of bed, of course!).

Hope everyone has a good day.

[SoYo]

Evening all. I'm at my parents without DH so expecting an unsettled night just like last time. Fingers crossed I'm wrong!

See you soon for & hobnobs!

[Anypants]

I'm with you soyo.

Had an awful time getting her to sleep tonight. I think the jabs are still causing her discomfort and after three attempts to get her to go off on her own, I have resorted to Calpol again, like last night

I hope she goes through now - she fed very well today so fingers crossed. Otherwise, i'm cracking open a victoria sponge

[Anypants]

Still no joy. Got about 20 minutes before she started whinging. Gah. DH walked her around for half an hour and now i'm giving her boob, hoping it'll send her off. Very tired and need to get to bed soon

[SoYo]

From bed to first feed has been nearly 5hrs for the last week.....the second I'm alone it's 2.5, great! It's a wedding today/tomorrow & I'm already bloody exhausted. Brilliant.
