I’m on my knees. To those who have bed shared with their breastfeeding babies: how??!! I have been doing this to varying extents every night for past six weeks or so. My whole body aches. I am exhausted. My nearly six month old son doesn’t really ever like to un-latch. He literally suckles all night and last night didn’t really even seem to go into a deep sleep, just very restless all night. I just can’t do this anymore; it’s driving me to the brink and I have another child to look after too.
If you bedshared does this sound normal? It would be ok if he suckled from time to time to get back to sleep, and rolled off again. But this is constant. I’m always worried I’m going to roll on him in my sleep. My nipples are painful. Neither of us is getting a good night’s sleep.
