So, I'm currently feeling in the typical black hole I'm sure every mother at some point in the early weeks goes through, my LO is 5 weeks old and is baby no 2 , and we're still kind of establishing a routine, but getting there but tonight in particular he's just grouchy and grunty and struggling to settle and if I'm honest I've had enough, there seems to be no consistency, he either feeds every 3-4 some time two, sometimes takes 4 ounces sometimes 5, sometime settles at 10 sometimes midnight, sometimes sleeps 3 hours sometimes 6 and recently after his 4/5/6am feed he Just will not settle back down and constantly grunts, moans and winges, day time he's a dream however this evening from 5.30 he's been hard work and unsettled, basically I'm in bed in tears with a squirming grunting tired baby, I'm tired and I'm having a competition with my husband over who's more tired (am sure we can all relate) I'm seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, I just want reassurance that it will end this phase and I will sleep again
I'm so glad this is my last and I won't be doing it again
