I think I am being a bit over emotional as have just got period back... but ds is 9months and has never slept for more than 3 hours between feeds.
At the moment it's been a nightmare because he's had every bug going and has been teething as well as still having 3 (at least) feeds at night. I've also been ill and to compound the problem have got an abscess on my breast which makes feeding agonising (to the extent that I am lying awake when I could be asleep stressing about the next feed). I've just seen some friends and all bar one of their babies of the same age sleeps from 7 - 7. And just heard about another friend whose 6 week old goes from 11 - 7.
I actually had to leave because I was going to burst into tears - I've been feeling so rubbish for so long and I can't see an end in sight and it just seems so unfair. I hate the thought that I won't have happy memories of this time, and I thought it would have got much easier by now. It's affecting everything, esp relationship with dh as am constantly exhausted and tearful. I can't sleep in the day as there are building works next door.
Anyway, this isn't going anywhere but I thought that writing it down might make me feel better! And any advice of course welcome...
