Impish Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Boo's been asleep since about 830. It's now almost 10. Do I dare take him upstairs, thinking he'll sleep through, or wait a bit longer and see if he wakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I would nap on the couch until he wakes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 I would nap on the couch until he wakes up. Problem is, he's done this a few times before...crashed at 830, and slept for 12 hrs. There's no predicting which it is. We only have a loveseat...I'm short, but not *that* short :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Don't move a sleeping baby! Snuggle up alonside and settle in for the night. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova147 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 August baby, same problem. But I'm hungry. Raar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I carefully move him upstairs, for me personally if he is going to wake I would rather deal with it at 10 pm than at midnight :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have a loveseat...I'm short, but not *that* short :lol: Do you have a baby monitor you could leave next to him? That reason is exactly why'd I'd go to sleep myself. The possibility of it lasting 12 hours is just too great to risk moving him. I've also slept sitting up on couches (sit sideways, leaning one side against the back). I'm a firm believer in the "Don't wake a sleeping baby" camp:lol: I'm one to talk though. Baby girl is sleeping and I ought to be too. But the lure of the boards is just too great!

Impish Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 No baby monitor, he's snoozing in his playpen...and problem is, I can't hear him if I go up to bed. Going to have to risk it and move him if I plan to try and sleep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, there's nowhere for me to sleep down here. I can't sleep upstairs and leave him down here, I can't hear him from my room. Tap, he's viewing a place tomorrow he thinks will work...hopefully, he's right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful Isle Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Maybe you could make a comfy bed on the floor beside him or something? Hmm :confused: I bet he's cute though. ;) They are always so precious when they sleep. So innocent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Problem is, he's done this a few times before...crashed at 830, and slept for 12 hrs. There's no predicting which it is. I couldn't make it any further in the thread because the jealousy stopped me right here.

Impish Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well, he's STILL asleep...11 hrs now, :lol: I'm very lucky. He sleeps through the night, has for a while...it's just a matter of *when* his night starts. The past few nights, I was laying him in his bassinette, still mostly awake, at 1130 pm, and he'd sleep til 830 or so. Most of the time, he crashes btwn 10-11 pm, and sleeps through. Then there are nights like last night, where Wolf or I have sat up til midnight, waiting for him to wake up again, and he sleeps through :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 When ds was 4ish months old, he fell asleep in his car seat (carrier, in the house) and I was on the computer on instant messenger fighting with my ex. I kept telling myself that I'll go to bed as soon as ds wakes (change, feed, back to sleep). Well, he didn't wake until 5am! I literally fought all night with my ex and missed sleeping. I did figure out that ds slept better in his swing or car seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
