But you have to take care of yourself! It will pass I promise
You're doing great honestly. I too breastfeeding and bedshare but with the cot sidecarred instead. Some nights have been challenging and it's hard getting the balance right when they can be so sensitive to everything. If you've checked they're not too hot or cold and nappy ok then keep at it. I've found having either of my babies in my bed made them wake a ljttle more for some reason than using a sidecarred cot/crib. Maybe that could help you. You're doing great!
Thank you everyone for your reply. It was nice reading them last night when I was having my moment. I get so worked up during the night and frustrated when he wakes me up for the 5th time! @Jena you sound amazing! Single mum and doing amazing ! I am def not following be norms of cosleeping but it is helping that u get sleep. I did weeks of 3 hours broken sleep and I was affecting me mentally, really badly so I had to change it @RRC 🫶🏼 ooh never heard of that app! I use huckleberry to track but will download that to try! Thank you! @Tazzy thank you! We don’t have a side cot but we have a cot in the room right next to me. I know at some point I need to brace it and start using it
And tonight he’s decided on his 4 th wake up to stay awake!!! Honestly why?! I just want to sleep
This too shall pass girl.. I know it feels like it never will, but it will. Usually around 6 months things start getting a little easier. You’re not a failure!! Do you know how many moms do the same thing as you?! I’m a single mom- completely single since the very start, minimal help from family, and that’s only when I have to work sometimes… the first 6 months were so rough for me. I always swore that I was never going to be one of those moms that lets her baby sleep in bed with her because I know of all the dangers but listen, you gotta look out for yourself, and the only way to get sleep is by letting your babies sleep with you then by all means do it because I did. When she was about nine months, I started putting her in the cot next to my bed. But she slept with me from the beginning Because I was starting to lose my mind. At one point I went five days without eating or sleeping. Don’t do that to urself. Baby will be fine because you have baby,
