Dont know if this is relevant here, but as a BF mum of two I wanted to share.
I bought the book, "What mothers do: especially when it looks like nothing" Whilst pregnant with my second baby but didn't manage to start reading it until I had had her. Anyway, after a few pretty horrific sleepless nights I decided to pick it up.
It really is the most amazing book I've read in terms of its honesty and total understanding of mothers and how we tick, how we feel and the reality of being a mother. It talks about those things that few of us dare not mention to those around us, I remember feeling like I wanted to throw my son out of the window when I he was very small coz I was just so exhausted, this book talks about all those feelings and that its normal for some mums to feel this way. There is a chapter called "so tired I could die" and I have literally cried my way through it as nothing has put into words so well how I've felt throughout my experience of mothering.
Im waffling but I just wanted to share it with you all, I've read quite a few posts on here recently of women who sound as desperate as I have for periods of time and I can honestly say I've taken great great comfort from this book. Its not a self help book and wont give you an 8hour block of sleep but it really make you feel understood. I keep showing bits to my hubby too and even he agrees that its given him a better understanding.
If you can manage to keep your eyes open long enough to have a look I promise its worth it (imo)
Hope this helps someone
