DS is now 6 months. Ebf - DH is brilliant and helps in every way he can but obv can't split the feeds between us. All the other ladies at baby groups I go to say their babies sleep through - 6 to 8 hours or even more! I can't even imagine that and feel like I'm failing him. I'm sure it must be my fault and starting to feel really miserable about it. All the other parents seem to be able to do it. I worry myself sick it's something I've done. Waiting for perinatal mental health referral for anxiety etc but looks like it will be a while.
Does anyone please have any advice or similar experiences to share? I'd so appreciate it. Feeling really down about it and not sure what to do. He is in bed with us (following safety guidelines etc). Before we started cosleeping the sleep deprivation was unbearable. I really don't want to do any cry it out type methods - no judgement about them at all but I just know I don't have it in me to stick it out. He feeds a lot in the night. We are due to start him on solids. Hoping it might help but am a first time mum so no idea really. Thanks in advance for any advice.
