7 weeks, no sleep

Leah

Who is going through this? It’s been going on for a few weeks where I’m lucky to sleep at night and or get a nap during the day. I just called my MIL to come over as I’m desperate and I hate bugging her, but I need to sleep for a few hours.

I breastfeed and he eats every hour. He will drain both breasts then still be hungry so I will give formula. My nipples are killing me as he’s not gentle with them. He also spits up and is hard to burp. He will pass out while I try to burp him (you can tell he’s tired and fights sleep). I put him down and he’s immediately awake. Only thing that will help him sleep is if I play the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight (my husband discovered he loves this song as it calms him down).

I’m gaining weight because I’m eating crap food since I don’t have the energy to cook and I also have fibromyalgia. 😭
