Still awake with newborn

[HashtagTired]

Part 2 ... everyone welcome

DD has been awake since 4pm, has had 3 feeds and is still not going to sleep. I’m now trying to settle her by giving her some skin to skin before putting her to bed. DH is supposed to be on duty tonight... @NoNoCharlieRascal we may be knitting this evening

Ewan’s back left has been deployed

Argghhh have got DD to sleep and DH has started to snore. I must have been a bad person in a past life

Please help she hasn’t slept since 4pm despite every effort and multiple sling attempts and now she is so overtired we don’t stand a chance 😭😭😭😭

Oh no mummarosie - do you have a bouncer chair? I bounced DS almost to sleep earlier then held him and did some squats which sent him off for a two hour sleep. Otherwise do you have a birthing ball you could bounce on?

It’s feed o’clock here 💤

Feed #1 here.

I pulled the biggest bogie out of his nose earlier. It was huge! I don’t know how something so big came out of such a small space!

Back left has been deployed.

:: gets out knitting needles ::

I'm here portal

It’s a no brainier for me @theotherendofthesockportal Do has to be woken up for the sake of his own life. If he wakes dc there could be a murder 🤷‍♀️

Ds is farting like a trooper. No point in my trying to settle him just yet.

He just sneezed and farted at the same time. There is little hope I will be able to settle this little boy anytime soon!

Feeding time again 😫

Gosh i am on feed number 1. Going so well after 30min but now hes fighting going back to sleep. first night in a sleeping bag maybe thats it. Farts seemed to have died down thank God

My eyes are drooping. Ewans back left is on.

Yaaaaaaawn.

Oh please settle 🙏

🙏🙏🙏

Second feed here and he's fussing away at the boob. Not really taking anything. Ugh.

First feed here too. Thought he’d sleep for soooo much longer as he was awake for hours before and just would. Not. Sleep. But here we are an hour and s half later. I had an awful dream as well about someone trying to murder me

My emoji night:

Anyone find that their diet effects their baby’s sleep? I ate so much chocolate today (because my boy’s cluster feeding for the past couple of days has left me ravenous and because I am fat). He won’t settle down again after his first block of sleep. My terrible diet may be to blame.

😐😐😐

Nice use of the melon. I’ll steal that. Swap out my bottles for melons. Hats off to mums in here faffing with formula in the middle of the night at least I only have to whip out a boob.

He’s awake. I didn’t sleep in between. Too busy trying to suppress a tickly cough (which is so much harder to do IRL).

Tonight I am very tired. I’m usually ok with the wake ups but tonight I’m not. I just want him to settle. I’m beyond tired and now grumpy. I’d like some sleep but have been awake for 3 hours now. He sleeps so much better in the day time than at night time. Ffs.

Was silently changing his nappy on the bed, lifted up his legs to slide the nappy underneath and he let out a massive fart 💨 it made me jump!

How can I be grumpy at him? 😍

Would still like sleep though

@HashtagTired I almost wasn't going to post tonight as super tired and grumpy too and my eyes hurt but thought I'd send a quick one to say I'm there with you! let's hope we get some sleep

🙌 @sleepycat13

I’m loving the emoji timelines 👍.

Turns out dreamfeed didn’t actually happen last night. He woke up and had half an ounce, got angry at being offered milk and went back to sleep with his dummy, twice!

Tonight he also got very angry and hardly took anything. He’s up for his first feed now and I haven’t had to give him his dummy since 10.30 which is an improvement but he’s definitely been noisy and restless and waking me up.
