Ufff! My kiddo is four months and recently I learned that when he starts crying one hour into a nap I should *not* go and try to shush him back to sleep. Poor guy just wants to be left alone. After a few minutes of fussing he goes right back to sleep. Not doing anything is hard!
This is me right now.
I’m scrolling Reddit waiting to see if my 5 wk old is actually asleep
this was me last night! my body naturally woke up when baby had been sleeping for about 3 hours. he was doing his grunts and wiggles and his whale tail thumping and i was sure he was about to wake up but i just laid in bed and listened. then by some miracle he went right back into deep sleep so i got up and pumped and was ready and alert when (a whole hour later!) he woke up with a wet diaper! i love when my body is like “okay dude time to get ready” cuz then i’m not disoriented and exhausted when he wakes me up with screams lol
Update: 1.5 more hours of sleep before feeding!
Ah yes it’s 4am currently here and I am perusing Reddit listening for all the sounds you mention along with farts – was that one just air? Was that one juicier? Should I check his diaper? Or should I just go to sleep?
