My gosh Im so glad Ive read this poll! I will be bf my 2nd baby but will not be co-sleeping! I dont want him/her to be nursing all night long! I didnt co-sleep with my 1st and she was sleeping longer by 8wks!

Some nights she nurses all night and seems to panic if she can`t find a breast immediately, other nights she passes out and wakes up once or twice to calmly feed.

OMG, I am glad you asked. This is happening to me! My baby just turned four months. He nurses all night long, rather he just wants a boob in his mouth all night long. He usually wont take the pacifer, it must be a breast. I`m so tired, I usually fall asleep while he nurses, a few hour later I wake up and my boob is still in his mouth even if he is done nursing. Then my nipples start to ache and feel chapped. When he wakes up at night (every other hour or so - yes, it`s pretty bad) he searches for the breast. It`s like he`s immediate soother. If you get any great advice, please share.

My LO only eats as he falls asleep and then up for a feeding around 3:30am. He doesn`t nurse all night long thank goodness! He is 14 weeks this week.

Nope. Quite the opposite, I believe my babies were all great sleepers and hardly ever woke up from the beginning BC they slept with us =)

she wont take a pacifier at all. it doesnt really bother me although id like it if it was a couple of actual feeds rather than just sucking on me all night.

have you tried a pacifier for nights? My son is 3 weeks and co-sleeps but only nurses once or twice a night.

It depends.. dome night yes.. other nights no..

For the past 3 or so weeks my son has been the same way! He used to be able to self soothe and now he can only fall asleep with my boob!!! What is up with that?

missyv28 (pink) (1030.6 days ago)
Nope, he was equally hungry during the day as the night but he was sleeping at least 6 hours a night by 3 months...

lately all my daughter wants to do is nurse all night long and she hasnt been sleeping unless she is nursing or has a boob in her immediate vicinity for nursing purposes lol. I was just wondering how common of a habit it may be.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
