I am wondering if this is normal or if something else is going on.
I have DD 2.7 and DS 1 and I adore them both and they are both fairly easy kids I would say.
DS was a menace at night and I had horribly broken nights (every 1.5 to 3 hourly) until I pulled the plug on night feeds 4 months ago (he was 8.5 months). Since then, I suffered dreadful insomnia. Couldn't get to sleep for about 2 hours and then if I was woken (DD usually yells out a few times in the night), I couldn't get back to sleep. Oh and early starts of anything from 4:30am to 5:30am but now it's 6am.
Anyway - I found some homeopathic stuff which worked brilliantly and my sleep cycles are better so I've been having nights of about 6.5 hours long instead of 4.5 hrs BUT I feel tired, irritable and foggy headed all the time.
Is this normal for 2 small ones or do I need to see a GP?

Does anyone else with two young ones feel shattered and not quite with it all the time?
