To be so exhausted 5 months after giving birth?

I’m completely exhausted after giving birth to our second child nearly 6 months ago. DC2 has never slept through the night and I am so tired I am functioning at 10% of usual capacity.
This means DC1 gets less attention, DH gets practically none (and of course work is a huge struggle).

It has gotten to the point that DH is upset after I just fell asleep at 8pm on a Saturday night (this is the best night of the week for us to spend “proper” time together).

I’m not depressed, just really tired.

AIBU to be so tired so many months after birth?
Should I be playing fun lockdown games and wearing cute Saturday night outfits?

If I was you I'd bottle train combination feed let DH do Friday nights while you take a bath and an early night otherwise from experience you'll be left always doing the nights.
See how sexy he feels on Saturday after an all nighter. Wink
