somebody pls help

If she sleeps 8-3 then the best I can suggest is to sleep at that time with her - that’s a good 7 hours. Then anything you get after that will be a bonus 😊 Hopefully it’s a short-lived phase 🤞🤞🤞

I wish I could go to sleep at 8, i don’t get to lay down till 9:30-10 because i have to make dinner, shower and do all that good stuff

I think sleep has to be a priority I too am up and about doing stuff when baby sleeps on a morning but I know I need to sleep whenever she does

honestly, if I were running on 4 hours’ sleep I’d skip the shower, eat a microwave meal and go to bed. It’s not forever, it’s a short-term thing and everything else is easier when you’ve had more sleep. Can you put baby in a bouncer chair in the bathroom and shower when they’re awake?

My baby always goes in his highchair or bouncer whilst I prep my dinner in the day, or even cook it so I just need to re heat it. Same with shower, he does take 3-4 30/40 min naps a day so I’ll jump in the shower then. Please prioritise yourself all you can, or as above just grab a microwave meal for now! If my baby was sleeping 8-3 I’d be over the moon 😅

I think as others suggested it, you should prioritise sleeping. I shower with baby in the bathroom if I have no choice, I put her in her bouncer. I cook during the day, while she’s awake or have her nap. If she’s awake, I put her in her bouncer and she can watch me cooking, or let her play in the baby gym, etc. I plan fast and easy meals. Yesterday for example I cooked pasta, with chicken, mushroom and cream cheese. Chicken I bought diced, mushroom I had to cut but you can buy it diced, so it makes your life easier. You can make pizza, just buy the base and put whatever you want on it. Just a few tips.😊 You need to sleep! Housework can wait. Your little one probably going through sleep regression, it’s temporary, so hang in there!

I don't think I showered often for my little girls first 8 weeks! I prioritised sleep when I could - I didn't cook much. Frozen pizzas / crumpets / cereals and pre-prepared fruit and sandwiches were what we lived off. I then bought the cosatto noodle high chair and she now plays in the kitchen with me whilst I cook.

This might also be a little controversial and will be dependent on your support network but I had my daughter stay at my sister's for her first sleepover at like 6 weeks old - I need the sleep and it helped me so much.

Could it not just be the 4 month sleep regression? All completely normal and you’ve just got to ride it out. My little girl has always woken once per night for a feed then gone straight back to sleep. This week she’s not gone back to sleep and has lag there kicking and smiling for 2 hours until she’s finally tired again. I just roll with it, it won’t last forever
