Is it just me?

Question

I feel terrible some nights I get up to feed the little one (who is 4 months) and like half way I don’t know what happens and the next time I see the clock an over or two has passed?! Like I don’t remember 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ he’s bottle fed so I wake up (I’m assuming I sleep and not black out) and he’s in my lap. Happens once every few days 😭😢😭 My husband is a heavy sleeper so he doesn’t wake up regardless. What should I do?

Answer

Set an alarm about 15 or so minutes after you start feeding to wake yourself up if you fall asleep

Answer

I started sitting on the floor to feed just in case he rolls off me, I also make sure I’m doing something on my phone to stimulate myself, it happens less often now but every time it does I feel a little better knowing that he couldn’t have fallen, I still feel guilty though.

Answer

I used to do something similar in that I’ll suddenly wake up in the middle of the night thinking that I’m still feeding him but actually I finished ages ago and put him back down to bed. I usually sleep on my side hugging a pillow, and I used to wake in a panic thinking the pillow was the baby and that I’d smothered him. He’s in his own room now and not in the bassinet anymore, so I’ve gotta physically get up and walk across the house to feed him now which wakes me up and I don’t that anymore

Answer

This happened to me a few times when my girl was a newborn. I started sitting on the floor, surrounded myself with pillows, and set an alarm for every 5 minutes just in case.

Answer

This has happened to me a LOT. I just get him in position before I start feeding him where he's securely propped with a pillow in the recliner so even if I fall asleep he is secure and can't roll anywhere. I make sure the pillow is totally propping him up so my arm isn't really doing anything (in case I relax it when I fall asleep). I started doing this because I would fall asleep while feeding him and wake up to find him in an award awkward position and that really scared me. Now I never have that issue. We've had to sleep in the recliner a lot due to acid reflux early on and then lately severe congestion. I used to worry about falling asleep with him when he was a newborn, but I don't really anymore thanks to my pillow propping. I guess I'll have to quit doing that when he starts rolling over more, but he's very still when he sleeps for now. Not saying you should fall asleep while feeding your LO, but it's good to be in a safe position just in case!

Answer

That happened when baby was a newborn. My husband would walk in and wake me up. Said I was passed out cold with her in my arms.

Answer

This happens to me almost every night. 
Baby usually wakes once in the early morning. Currently it’s be between 3-5 
Hubby gets him, changes his diaper and then hands him to me in bed. I feed him and we both end up falling asleep. I wake up about 2 hours later and go to put baby back in his bed. 
He’s still sleeping in our room though. He’s moving to HIs own room in 2 weeks
