DD is 3 weeks old. So far, DH and I have spent every night from 9pm working in shifts - each spending 2 hours shifts feeding (bf or EBM) and trying to settle her in the lounge. She's not yet settling in her Moses basket so normally falls asleep in our arms, meaning we can't sleep on shift.
I can't wait to actually go to bed at the same time as DH in our own bed, even if we have to wake up to bf / feed throughout the night....but this feels such a long way away! I am also really struggling with the midweek sessions when DH is back at work as I can't stay awake from 12am - 6am to cover!
I just wondered how others with young babies are managing the shifts. Are you splitting shifts? I feel like this can't go on for much longer and we need to get her in our room but just don't know how yet!!
Thanks.
