Get it all out! I'm sorry you are going through this. This is a safe space to vent. It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job giving your baby an enriched life. I''m pretty sure they have used sleep deprivation as torture it's awful. I have started to have a nap when my little boy has his first nap (I used to feel so guilty). We get up about 6ish have milk, a play etc then go back up to bed. If we are meeting someone or we are going out it doesn't always work but today he slept for nearly two hours! I think sometimes in life something has to give and you need to be a bit selfish. Look after yourself xxx
Thank you so much, I do have family nearby but I suppose during the day when I need the most help everyone works so it’s just a bit hard…I know I’m lucky to live near family and I am grateful for that. But I don’t know it’s still hard especially when you live with your partner who isn’t always proactive with the baby. Trying to remember that this is all temporary and I will sleep again! X
I’ve been feeling the same. Do you have any family nearby? I don’t but I am planning on visiting them so I can get a break myself. Five months sleep deprivation is no joke. I’ve heard things feel better when you are more rested - I hope this helps xx
