Thread: Why am I awake?

Seriously, why? Oh, that's right. Teagan decided to wake up and poop at 4:45am and then every 10 minutes after that for nearly an hour. Let's hope she tires of playing soon so we can go back to sleep.

I too am in sleep-deprivation camp. I have to say, I am not a fan of this camp at all! I hope you get some sleep.

How nice of Teagan. Hope y'all were able to get a bit more sleep!

Not only up that early, but changing poopy dipes....lovely! Sounds like a barrel of laughs at your house this morning. I'm hoping you were able to get her back down and get some sleep.

Hope you got some sleep (I don't when I get up that early, as soon as DS1 hears Tobey wake up he gets up too and there is no getting him back to bed *yawn*)

Thankfully she went back to sleep at 6:45 and slept until 7:30 when she pooped ... again. I pawned her off on DH for a bit (she pooped 3 more times in an hour). He brought her back to me at around 8:15 saying she looked really tired. She was. She nursed herself back to sleep and we slept until 10. Good thing daycare is closed and I am taking the day off!! Bigger question, what's with the pooping?! She was doing this for a few weeks about a month ago. As soon as she'd wake up she'd start pooping every 15 minutes. Then it became 1 big one every day. Now we're back to a billion little poops

DS1 was a poop every nappy change until he got more bowel control at about a year. He still often goes a few times a day now (although that was probably a bit TMI )

I hope you get some rest today!

DD always poops a lot more when she is teething, right before she gets new teeth. It also tends to get runnier at this point (yes, TMI I'm sure!). Maybe this is it? Or maybe she just ate something that didn't quite agree w/ her tummy? Have you been letting the child eat leaves again? Or maybe some grass?

It sounds like teething poop to me. Especially if it happened before. Sorry she was up so early today.

Oh, the joys of parenting. Extra coffee always does the trick for me.

Wait until you have 3 that wake up at various times of night, for various reasons. Our 4 yo will wake my DH up to tell him he has to go pee...my DH is always like "Okay, then just go." So Jacob shuffles into the bathroom. Then my 2 yo will wake up crying about something he dreamed about, or tummy ache, or thirsty.
Then there's Owen. Let's not even get into that.
