hi there, i am a newbie to mumsnet and motherhood, currently cradling me beautiful 8 week ds who is grizzly after his injections today. Just getting used to typing with one hand, please excuse the mess!

My son is doing great. Has settled into a routine on his own and wakes once at night to feed at 2/3AM. My problem is that i am finding myself wide awake after his feed and can't go back to sleep, it is driving me mad! Some days i feel i can't cope as i am so tiered. my mum has had to come up, and it is a fair drive. I just lie there feeling guilty if i have to ask my husband to help as i get tearful. He is brilliant btw, but does need his sleep with a new job.

I suppose i am just interested in if other people have been through similar. I don't feel depressed, but obviously have little sleep does make you feel a bit low.

Many thanks xx

Yep, also experiencing this. Its so annoying. I listen to podcasts. I try to pick ones that I am a bit interested in (so my mind doesn't wander, and so if I get to the end I dont mind having heard it all) but not that interested in so I am not too gripped to fall asleep. What a balance!
