Posting for traffic. My DD2 is 5 months and EBF. For the last 6+ weeks her night time sleep has gotten worse (4th month sleep regression no doubt) She's gone from 5/6 hour stints to up every hour and a half. I'm exhausted.
Day time isn't much better. I have a 3,5 year old too and I can't keep the rocking baby to sleep during the day.
She's just so moany during the day even if she sleeps well. I don't know if I'm not making enough milk due to tiredness but she has plenty of wet/dirty nappies. She just has such short windows of being happy, I never have a moment to myself.
I hate not knowing why they cry, and hate to think she might be hungry (for either a bottle or solids perhaps?)
AIBU to start her on a bottle or two? I'm going back to work in a few months so was going to wean in April but feel I can't cope with the no sleep. I also feel trapped- we've just moved house and I can't do anything without her attached to me. She struggles to settle with in laws who were staying with atm or even DH.
I wanted to do 6 months EBF and feel guilty aboit stopping early especially as I couldnt bf DD1 (tongue tie and many latch issues)
