My 2mo is still feeding every hour or two, I will go back to work soon and I am a single mom. How can I "survive" not sleeping at night and working during the day? Any tips? Thank you!
When are you going back? I went back to work at 12 weeks and found my baby made a big improvement at sleep around then. When he was big enough to wear the Magic Merlin Sleep Suit that helped him sleep much longer stretches! Also my husband and I did sleep shifts where he would respond to wakes from 10pm-2am and I would respond from 2am-6am. So we each were guaranteed 4 straight hours of sleep and could function. When my baby was having rough nights sometimes I would also take a melatonin and go to bed around 8pm to get as much sleep as possible.
