Feeling really down and I dont know why

[SiobhanJ]

Recently I've been feeling really down. I feel like I could cry all the time and often I do. I just dont know why I feel like this though. I love spending time with my LO but it just seems all too much at the moment. The routine I got him into when he was 3-4 weeks old has gone out of the window, he's started waking in the night again which he hasnt done since he was 8 weeks old, he's now 16 weeks and its not just once, its 2 or 3 times a night. My breastfeeding has gone to pot as he's not settled on my milk alone anymore but I'm dreading weaning. My DH works so I cant ask him to look after LO for a while and family live too far away. I've not felt like this at all since I had him. I love him to bits. I just dont know whats going on.

First of all ((hugs)) Second of all, try try try not to worry about a routine. Your baby doesnt know what he should be doing when. I let my DS feed/sleep when he wants and is settling into his own routine since about 16 weeks. You sound like you need rest.... why not stay in bed for a day with your DS just feeding and snoozing.Why has our BFing gone to pot?
