DS is 16 weeks old and ebf. He feeds 14 times in 24 hours with most of those feeds at night every hour. This has been happening the past 2-3 weeks, until then he fed 2-3 times at night. Weight gain is steady, nappies fine.
I can't cope. I cry every day from exhaustion and dread nights. DS refuses bottles so DH can't help. DD is 2.5 so I can't rest in the day but I can't cope with her day time needs and am irritable with her so the exhaustion is compounded by guilt.
I am trying to ride it out but feel increasingly depressed by lack of sleep. It will get better wont it? Is this the 4 month sleep regression a bit early?
