Kicking myself - shouldn’t have woke the baby

After a week of poor night sleeping, I capped 11WO day sleep yesterday out of sheer desperation to see if it would help…

anyway, I woke up in a mass panic as I haven’t slept undisturbed for a while and made baby a feed and I came back and woke the baby to feed! Why?!? Tonight could have been the night they slept through, who knows, absolutely kicking myself and it will probably won’t happen again I should have just gone back to sleep and enjoyed it!

saw no one had commented on this and just wanted to send a virtual hug. I remember the days when I’d get SO anxious if I thought babe had slept too long and was waking her up til she was almost 3 months! And I’m VERY familiar with how emotionally driven sleep decisions are with a baby and how the tiniest thing can just fill you with regret. Hope you’re feeling ok today!
