DS is 5 months, one week today. He's EBF but...
I'm shattered. So so tired today after 3 night feeds (11,2.30, 4.00 song & dance lasting til 5.30) and a 7.00 wake up
My boobs look like old mans flat caps & I want to wear a decent bra again.
After months of pain free feeds I seem to have boob thrush (on ABs) and it hurts.
I want DH to be able to take some of the strain.
But over the last few months I have really enjoyed feeding & saw myself carrying on until DS could have cows milk at the least I wanted to get to 6 months... it's SO close and I know my personality is such that I'll give myself a hard time if I fall at the final gate.
Can someone please give me a kick up the arse and tell me it's the shitty night's sleep talking and it's such a short time. This too will pass. No guarantee he'll sleep through on formula etc. etc.
Or tell me how wonderful FF is, he will sleep amazingly from the first night and why am I getting my knickers in a knot?
Or even a plan C.
