It's literally making me unwell, at least that's how it feels.
My 7mo sleeps at night, but wakes up once for food and will wake up another 2 or 3 times for a resettle, which can sometimes take up to an hour.
I will go to sleep when she does around 9pm, awake for food around 12-1am and again every 2 or 3 hours after that. I've never been a deep sleeper, I used to sleep around 10 hours because it took me so long to get into a deep sleep, and that wouldn't last long.
My partner is useless. He looked after baby a lot over the first 2 months while I recovered, and I struggled with my mental health early on (I still do, but it's easier to cope when I'm not healing from birth lol)
He stays up all night playing games and watching films because 'he doesn't get any time to himself in the day'. I can't remember the last time I got time to myself...
I look after the baby pretty much all day. He will take her while I cook or need to clean or go to the bathroom, but that's it. He will also take her for a walk in the evening to settle her to sleep, but by then I'm to tired to do anything.
Even on days when baby sleeps in late, I'm still exhausted. He complains he's tired because he stayed up late, but refuses to go to sleep earlier because he "needs his me time". It's honestly infuriating and he won't listen when I say I'm struggling, because he uses his argument of "well I looked after her for the first two months, now it's your turn".
I just don't know how to cope, I'm constantly grumpy and irritated, I feel dizzy and faint all day, I feel like my eyesight is going. I can't ever think straight and it's impossible to do a good job with baby when I'm falling asleep just sitting down
I don't know how to cope anymore, I feel like I'm going insane
