My moods have been constantly yoyo-ing since DD was born (now 7 months) due to feeding and sleep related stress. Since the 4 month sleep regression she has never managed to link sleep cycles so she naps terribly and wakes at least every 2 hrs at night and wants feeding back down. I'm so sleep deprived. DP is off work on Mondays for the rest of the year and I always seem to be ok on the weekends, but I really struggle with DD on my own. It's like she knows to be more cranky and nap less on those days. The GP prescribed sertraline based on a minimal conversation with me, and I don't know whether to take them as I don't like the idea of having to stay on them for 6 months. We are currently trying to cut out dairy for suspected CMPA so I need to BF, and I don't like that it will pass through my milk. I also worry about the potential short term increase in anxiety and that DD might be sleeping by the time they start working. We're working with a sleep consultant but the progress feels slow. Should I wait it out to see if the sleep gets better? Or just get on with the meds?
