Baby blues only at night?

Question

So at night time baby is feeding every two hours on the dot (his choice not mine lol). Meaning I get about 45min-1hr of sleep at a time. This is when I start feeling really anxious/frustrated, kind of sad, and like I would pay thousands of dollars for someone to come in and take over at night time. 
Whenever I wake up and the sun is up I feel pretty much back to normal. A little anxious but overall pretty good. Anyone else going through this or something similar? 
Also sometimes i find myself thinking if I could just cut out this whole feeding aspect I would be enjoying everything about this time 😂😭 but then feel guilty because my son has been a wonderful feeder since day 1.

Answer

If/when I feel the baby blues starting to set in, it’s 100% when I’m sleep deprived and haven’t eaten for too long - which is always at night!

Answer

I say do whatever makes you the best mother to your family. If that means switching to formula at night so maybe you can get some help from someone else at feeding time, then do that! Yes, your supply might take a hit, but it also might not. What works for one person, may not work for another. But it is important that you are cared for too. You cannot pour into others from an empty cup.
And remember, fed is best!
You are doing a great job.

Answer

Switching to Formula at night was the best thing I ever did. It’s faster so we can get back to bed quicker. He sleeps almost 4 hours at night and breast feeding in the day is just as easy as before . I do eat lactation cookies in the day just to keep my supply up

I just posted something like this a little earlier. Glad it’s not just me. Sad that either of us have to go through this😭💙 we got this

Answer

Totally me too!! All day I feel great despite having painful breasts and sooo much milk that I am a mess after every feeding. Evening/nighttime comes and I just feel so blue and have a lot less tolerance to all my pains and I just wanna cry.

Answer

I'm like this all day, but because I feel like I have so much going on. Starting tomarrow my hubby goes back to work so I have to take all 4 of my kids out just to take my 2 oldest to school everyday, I feel so anxious because I feel bad having to take my newborn out in the cold everyday and he already has a cold from my other kids. I just feel so overwhelmed and not only that but my 3yr old is acting out bad
