Didn’t wake up to feed baby

I s been havin a rrallly hard time. I don’t sanna go into every detail, but

I may have skipped some feeds last night. Does this happen to anyone.!
I’ve been getting four hours of Broken sleep for almost two months and it’s catching up to me, i was having heart palpitations and when I did wake up to feed, I’d start nodding off while feeding her /holding her up after. It’s really unsafe. I may have missed some feeds last night and I feel fucking horrible. She’s just been eating like every 1-2 hours around the clock and was looking for a longer stretch but I think she was crying at some point in the middle of the night and I didn’t wake up to feed. I couldn’t remember last time I fed her but it may have been four or three hours tilll I woke up at 8am and woke her up n changed n fed her...

And she’s usually up by herself but she was kinda sleepy; and also it seemed like I don’t have that much milk at the moment so I’m unsure if she even got much . I couldn’t remember if the last time I fed her was 2am;,3am, or 5am:(

Has anyone missed feeds, how bad is it

You have done nothing wrong, you sound exhausted. I co slept with all my babies there are ways to do it safely. If you are worried about dropping the baby while feeding then definitely lie down to feed. You sound like you need a break.

please dont feel bad OP you clearly needed a sleep.

fwiw i almost fell asleep a few times feeding the baby - and i couldnt remember sometimes the last time he ate (im doing it alone i have no help at night). its hard.

If you need to - while feeding - scroll through fb/twitter etc thats what i do- and note when they last ate -then when your awake in the morning you will see your notes from the night before and know if they baby is having enough

its tough but you can do this!

If baby didn't wake to be fed then she didn't need fed.

Practise side feeding, you can sleep and baby can latch on whenever she wants.
