And no mother... the reason you had no problem with us kids sleeping is not because we were bottle fed.. it’s because you had a bloody night nurse!!!
This is not a bottle v breast feeding thread, it’s an unhelpful non solicited advice thread! It’s a.. am I allowed to punch the next person who asks me how I slept last night for the millionth time thread... shit.. it’s still shit and you can keep asking but my answer will still be shit.. she is 6 weeks old.. it will be shit for a long time and no, it’s not because I am breastfeeding.. I just have a baby who likes to feed regularly through the night... just like you might have a baby who happily sleeps through the night!!! Sorry feel very ranty today.. and fed up of being treated like I am a Sado masachist who lives to instil bad sleeping habits in my child.. who enjoys the lack of sleep... who loves reading how my child at 6 weeks should be feeding every 3 hours on the dot and sleeping through!
It’s not just family, all these bloody baby books as well I am pretty sure exist to make you feel shit. This is my second child and once again instead of just chilling out, accepting that a baby is what a baby does and dare I say enjoy or at least accept the situation, I find myself once again obsessing over sleep, feeding etc because the books tell me what my baby should be doing.. so I feel shit she is not or I am shit for not doing what the books say I should to ‘avoid sleep props’.. or because everyone else’s baby is doing amazing sleeping.. gah!! I say enough! Oh I feel better now.. thanks
