I know that this is just a growth spurt and I know that it will pass. I know that I've even dealt with much worse, as DD1 was much more greedy than DD2. But DD2 is having her 4 month growth spurt, and I'm really struggling. It didn't seem so bad when she was a newborn and would fuss in the nights, I suppose because I expected it. But just ast the nights were getting easier, we have regressed right back.
DD2 is fussy in the day, screams like a banshee in the evenings, and feeds and fusses all night. I am completely exhausted and have a toddler to look after in the day too (DD1). My sense of humour has completely left me, and I find that I'm resenting breastfeeding a little bit, because it's curtailing doing fun things with DD1 - today DH was outside building a snowman with DD2 (her first) and having lots of fun, and I was dealing with a screaming DD2 inside. I tried taking DD2 out too, but she wouldn't have it.
I'm feeling a bit teary (although I haven't actually cried) and I don't know if it's "just" being completely exhausted or whether my hormones are our of whack too. You would have thought that I would be used to it as it's my second time around, wouldn't you? I like breastfeeding really, I mean it's convenient and cheap and great for DD2, it's just that sometimes it's all a bit much, isn't it?
