Well... Bertie went to sleep at about three and I got two hours' sleep.
I tried co-sleeping the other night, but I miss sleeping in a bed with dh terribly... I didn't share a bed with him for about the last six weeks I was pg.
Although when his paternity leave finishes next week, he will probably sleep in the spare room for a bit so I will probably take Bertie into the bed with me. Those of you who co-sleep, what do you do about bedding? I know Bertie isn't meant to have a pillow, so where does his head go, by my head just not on a pillow? Or by where my chest is?
I do feel a bit like I'm going slightly stir crazy at times. I must keep an eye on it. Still getting that paranoia about mil/dh, today mil came over and I was close to being downright rude.
She really does mean to help, I told her I was trying a different latch to get him to drink more, and she helped me get his arms out the way so I could latch him on, and watched to check he was doing it properly.
And then half way through I started to feel really edgy, like she was checking up on me, just waiting for him or me to make a mistake...
Told dh and he now thinks I have a problem with mil... which I don't...
Do these paranoid feelings go away? Is it normal or should I speak to the health visitor about it when she comes on Friday?
I keep reading loads of stuff on the internet, hoovering it all up, and in a strange way I don't think that's helping, can't explain that very well, it's like I've lost my sese of perspective a little. I mean, when every book, website and other source of information and every person tells you something slightly different... you end up not knowing what to believe...
Bertie crying must go
