I have a 22 wk old who is EBF.
She wakes 5-6 times a night most nights.
Am I being awful in wanting to get away for a night? I know it's normal to wake 5-6 times a night and I should probably just suck it up. I also know it won't be forever. But right now every day lasts a lifetime, the nights are horrendous and then I wake up exhausted dreading the next day ahead.
I can't realistically get away unless I start expressing or giving formula but I'm really becoming depressed and not sure how much more I can take.
I can't talk to my OH about this as he wouldn't understand. He thinks parenting is a breeze but then he sleeps uninterrupted in the spare room every night and thinks he's a saint if he does the first nappy change to allow me an extra 10 minutes in bed.
Does anyone know how I feel? I'm probably being really selfish.
