Struggling and sick

Not sure if he's old enough yet, but he just turned 3 months and is up at 12,2,4,6 and 8 pretty much every night (goes to bed around 9). I've had norovirus and I just can't recover because I'm getting no rest. I still feel nauseous and weak as anything because I can hardly eat or drink. Any tips for quick recovery? My partner is getting exhausted too

Hey is your wee one breast fed or formula fed? Formula fed babies seem to sleep longer; my girl also sleeps longer if she’s on me during the day but I can get 11 hours out of her at night in her own bed and she’s just turned three months x

We are in the exact same boat and ours is formula fed!! It’s a nightmare… Hang on in there it won’t last forever ❤️

I had norovirus on my birthday - it was AWFUL. I asked my hubby to give him a bottle so I got 2 sets of sleep (in another room) in one go, I needed it. And then force yourself to eat and drink a little. Plain rice, water, strength will come back. Good luck though it’s hoooorrible and one of the hardest things we went through as a new family

Oh and rehydration salts if you’ve been throwing up / diarrhea super important

Im sorry! Hope you recover soon. Get as much sleep as possible during the day as well. Stay hydrated. My baby is also going to be at around 9 and doing 12.2,4,6. She used to give us 4-5 hour stretches before 😞 it’s been a few weeks like this now.
