Sleep!

I'm looking mainly just to vent. My five month old's sleep is awful. Probably only around 12 hours a day and very broken, with short naps. I feel like the worst mother in the world.

There is absolutely no correlation at all between how good or bad a mother is and how well or badly a baby sleeps I promise you that. Talk to mums of four their babies are all different sleepers

BUT when you're desperately tired your thoughts will spiral and you'll feel gloomy and down on yourself. That's natural.

Do you have a partner? Or supportive family member? Can you book a night in a hotel to escape and recharge yourself, or get them to take baby out all day so you can nap?
