DD is formula fed and still not sleeping longer stretches than 4/5 hours at a time. She is so noisy and never settles after her 4am feed. Constant grunting/squirming/trumping then wakes herself crying. I’m absolutely exhausted as I can’t sleep through the noises (earplugs and white noise in full force).
I have terrible PPD this time, 5 weeks into sertraline and still feeling like I’ve ruined everything. She has only just calmed down in the day time but the first 8 weeks were constant screams.
Yes we had the unicorn baby first who was peacefully sleeping through the night by this point. He’s 3 and still sleeps soundly.
I know all babies are different but dear god when will the noises stop? I have never felt sleep deprivation like it.
