My baby only feeds for a few minutes and only actively sucks for a few seconds. She’s 6 weeks and just got tongue tie surgery…I’m struggling to latch her also. When she’s done she’s eating her hands again within 30 mins & I’m feeding her NON STOP all day long. Please help:(
I’m 5 weeks postpartum and Over the past week I went through a bout of insomnia and had a mental breakdown due to it, they gave me liquid phenergan on a low dose 10ml before bed and it worked amazing. I slept for 7 hours last night. Now my only issue is what do I do tonight? Do I just continue to take it?
Problem is I’m breastfeeding and don’t want to rely on this to sleep. Last night was the first night I actually slept in the same room as my partner after ending newborn shifts so maybe that’s why I slept better also? As before I was on shift until 3am but now we are both sleeping at 9pm together….I have no idea.
Any tips
I know a lot do shifts with their newborn but they are not working for me , I can’t sleep alone and am a ball of anxiety. What’s it like not doing shifts and just sleeping in the same room together?
It’s like we are strangers in the same home. And I struggle to sleep alone so don’t sleep anyway.
Currently me and my partner are doing shifts with our newborn, he sleeps 8-2 I sleep 2-9 well I should…problem is I can’t sleep. I convince myself every time that my partner will fall asleep with the baby and crush her🥲😭she’s a preemie ¤tly 5weeks old & 5lbs 12ounces
. I’m so so paranoid ,I hate that I can’t shut off.
I’m so depressed as I don’t sleep and am a new mum. I just want some people to relate too as I feel I’m going absolutely insane.
Looking for someone in the same boat, I get about 3 hours a night:( can anyone relate?
Anyone else just barely sleeping each night? Anxiety is so high and I couldn’t even tell you why. I feel sick to my stomach every night. My baby also doesn’t sleep so I’m doing shifts with my partner…we are like strangers in the same house. I hate my life. I want to sleep.
I’m a new mum to a baby that doesn’t sleep, me and my husband are going night shifts. He sleeps 8pm to 2am and me 2 am to 9am….however I can’t sleep. I go sleep at 3am and wake at 6am.
My anxiety is through the roof , will I die from lack of sleep? I’m getting 4/5 hours per night:(
Me and my partner are doing shifts with my newborn , I sleep from 2am to 9am (well I did) until recently …I go to bed at about 3 and am up at 6am and can’t sleep. I’m getting 3 hours per night…I can’t nap. I’m going insane.
Anyone else?
Please don’t scare me my anxiety is bad enough.
I’ve literally just walked out the room grabbed hold of my hair and just ripped a huge chunk out from my head in frustration.
I feel like a terrible mother. I’m just here crying my eyes out. She won’t breastfeed off me and just keeps screaming. I can’t cope I’m so exhausted.
Everyone keeps telling me ‘it only gets worse’ and honestly I’m in the absolute trenches right now.
I’m safe and baby is more than safe. I’m just so exhausted and frustrated with myself. Feel like a terrible mum.
I have a difficult baby, love her but she is difficult. She’s a preemie so doesn’t sleep well. Currently me and my partner are doing shifts, he sleeps 8pm-3am and I sleep 3am-9am…trouble is I can’t sleep. I spend my nights worrying about my baby and if she’s okay…or what if my partners fallen asleep bla bla…he never has. It’s like I’m wired with adrenaline.
I’m so exhausted. I miss being in bed with my partner. Anyone else in this boat? I’m struggling with the loneliness.
My baby girl was born at 35weeks, she’s now one month old and just doesn’t sleep at night. I feed her every 2-3 hours anyway but she doesn’t sleep AT ALL inbetween, which means I am getting basically zero sleep. She is fussy , grunting , kicking , screaming but as soon as I pick her up she’s silent.
She will only settle next to me or on my chest, and obviously I don’t Cosleep. I fell asleep last night for 2 hours with her on my chest and the guilt is eating me alive.
I just don’t know how to get her to sleep,im at breaking point. I need to sleep. Please help me. She’s my first and is breast fed.
Baby is 3 weeks old & premature born at 35 weeks. I go to bed at 3 am as my partner and I are swapping shifts, she gets pumped bottles on his shift.
I get 4 hours sleep each night…no naps as my baby doesn’t sleep…ever it feels like.
I feed her at 9am for 1hr and a half… burp her and she’s hungry within 30 mins, feed her again at 11:30 for 1 hr and a half…burp her and she’s hungry within 30 mins feed her AGAIN. And so on.
I’m done. I have no life. Every 30 mins I’m feeding and I’m just depressed. I don’t eat lunch, don’t shower , can’t brush my teeth, house is a mess.
I’m just over it. All I do is cry everyday. I can’t go out , have no social life. I can’t sleep. Im just so depressed.
