Newborn tiredness

Hi All, Does anyone have any tips on how to beat/make better getting through newborn tiredness. I have an 8 week old with really bad congestion at the mo so keeping me awaking most of the night. However in the mornings I really struggle to the point where hubby will take a day off work (not what I want to happen every week) also have a 3year old in tow. I try and nap on days when 3yo at nursery and have a supportive MIL but i dont want to keep relying on her. Any tips, positive advice welcome. Thanks 🥰

Following for advice as never left the trenches and now at 15 weeks 😵‍💫

I’m up all hours in the night my boy has bad reflux he’s always fussing it’s never ending

Rely on your MIL. Rely on any help youre offered. On weekends my other half will take LO down stair after ive fed him so i can sleep some more. It takes a village. Dont feel guilty for relying on people. LO needs you firing on all cylinders, you need all the rest you can get! Have you and your OH tried swapping sides in bed, we do after like a 3/4 oclock feed

@Corinne mine too 🥹 can't sleep unless up and on us, so then we can't sleep. Hope it gets easier for you!

@Beth I feel you it’s horrible!! I literally get no sleep!!!
