Bad night feeling overwhelmed
Show your support
You aren’t alone in the being poorly, snoring husband and waking baby worlds! X
It sounds like your probably going through the 4 month regression! It’s brutal but hang in there as it does improve with a few weeks. You don’t need to do anything different just keep going and treat yourself to lots of snacks and rest during the day! The wonderweeks app is helpful for predicting when the regressions are likely to start and end if you want to have some pre warning 💕! Men are hopeless sometimes and they don’t get it, it can be incredibly frustrating and draining - do you have a group of mum friends? If not I would recommend going to some baby classes etc to meet some as they are such a great support during these crazy times as your all going through it together! Sending big hugs, I hope you feel better soon, your not alone, your doing great & it does get easier 💕! X
Mum needs sleep too be to able to function as a human with a baby. Perhaps chat to him and see if he can help some more in the night? X
As mums the mum guilt kicks in, but communication is key. Men are thick sometimes it needs spelling out may be in the day unrelated say "sometimes it'd be really nice if I got help on the difficult nights, I know you work but half hour wakes is just hard" As for the sleep my LO did this the other day, he was unwell, so I ended up cosleeping I hate it but atleast I got a few lengthier stretches
Thank you all for the replies. I think I just needed to offload. Everything always feels so much worse at night time! Interestingly not long after I had posted that, my husband woke and offered to settle baby and sleep on my side by the next to me so I could get some sleep so now I feel bad posting it...but he will never know 😅
Don’t feel bad! You aren’t alone!!
I get you! In the thick of it too… so used to my boy being a good sleeper so this is killing me. Hopefully it won’t last too long 🤞🏻
