When do the nights get easier???

[soppypreggyloon]

I must have blocked this out of my mind first time round. The nights are SO hard!

Dd is 3 weeks and bf (mostly). She wakes up every 1-2h for most of the night. She takes ages to settle and I often don't get her back to bed after a feed before she wants another one!

Feeding is so sore (another issue im working on) and being up half the night is making me is exhausted. None of this sleep when baby sleeps with a toddler now.

When does it get easier? I need a count down to keep me sane!

Well the feeding is less frequent but has been replaced by colic. :(
I am very envious of all of you who can sleep through a bf. I spend mine curling my toes up in pain. (seeing BFC at hospital again today)

Seems dd wouldn't be that good a candidate for co sleeping even if I wanted to as I spent most of last night pacing the bedroom

We used Dentinox for colic and that seemed to help but really feel for you. Colic on top of toe curling pain doesn't sound like a good combination.

Hope your trip to the hospital goes well today.

Hullo - it starts getting easier soon.
Just a note on the co-sleeping. It is a lot safer to intenially cosleep and make sure measures are in place to makeit safe than to fall asleep in bed with your baby and end up 'cosleeping' that way. I'm not saying you should cosleep but maybe worth bearing in mind.

Oh god,reading this is bringing back awful memories. I came so close to shaking my ds when he was somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks old out of total exhaustion. I ended up adding formula a few days later as I recall which gave me some nighttime respite. You're left with feeling guilty at what you nearly did versus guilt at abandoning EBF. Am 34 weeks pg now and am dreading the first 2 months. Once ds got bigger I loved breastfeeding and was gutted when he chose to stop at nearly 8months. Can't win I suppose! I hope things settle down for you soon
