We've reached an all time low with my Son being awake from 12-3 last night. He has 2 feeds, several nappy changes, lots of cuddles to try get to sleep, put in cot to see if he would settle. Nope nothing. When finally drifted off in my arms I try put him down in bed with me or cot and he cries. Managed to put him down at 3ish he was up by 415. And repeat of above got him to sleep and in the cot by half 6 and he was crying 20 mins later. I try and settle him without getting him out the cot but no such luck.
It's been like this for couple weeks.
I am struggling with it all. I am aware the fact I'm antibiotics is affecting him as BF but the mastitis isn't clearing so got to see the course of antibiotics through. I'm in agony every feed and after. I'm so fed up and utterly exhausted.
I hate myself for moaning and getting cross with my little boy. My partner is irritating more than usual, there's a surprise! He wants to help by doing all night feeds tonight. But I've tried to explain missing feeds,even if I pump is not good for mastitis. I think he thinks I'm being a marter.
Any advice / encouragement welcome. From one Exhausted and emotional mama.
