Shit shift 💤

Which is the crap shift overnight in your house? Our little boy has 2/3 good stretches of sleep a night (feed, quick change, easy to settle after) but my god the 4-5am feed and he won’t go back in his next to me for love nor money. It’s contact nap or bust 🥴 Just posting in solidarity to anyone else who’s been up for a while wondering if this will last forever…!

Ours is 12-4am with my twins. One just won’t go down in the next to me at all. He’s struggling with wind and can’t get comfy. My husband is snoring away and I haven’t slept at all!!x

Jackson has gone down to just one middle of the night feed between us going to be about 11 and me getting up with him at 6. My husband has started doing the 3am feed as he can easily get back to sleep afterwards whereas once I'm up I'm awake for hours

we are the exact same the hours between 3-5 is the worst i have been contact napping as it’s the only thing that seems to work at these times x

1-3am for us! She always takes ages to go down at that time and it normally results in change, feed, put down only for her to open her eyes wide the minute she’s put down and we have to start all over again! Either that or she’ll be a really fussy feeder at that time and it takes ages 😅

The same as you, after the 4-5am feed it's like the hokey cokey getting her in and out of the crib where as she settles quite quickly after all the other feeds 😅 x

We are the exact same - she feeds on and off for around 1-2 hours at 4ish and refuses to go back in her cot. She'll sleep in it from around midnight until 4 but after that, it's contact only 😭 There's been 2 nights that she's gone back in the cot at that time x
