Hard time adjusting
Venting- It’s only been a week, so I’m trying to give myself some credit. I have my 2 older girls, 9 and 5, and my husband is on paternity leave. Little man sleeps great during the day, he’ll take 2-3 hour naps, breastfeeds frequently throughout the day. I’m working on his latch, as it was too shallow and he wasn’t eating enough. But man is night time rough!! He’ll be up from 4pm-9pm cluster feeding and is very hard to settle. And then he is almost every hour, maybe 2 hours if I’m lucky. All he wants to do is nurse. And I feel like I have no milk in me from 4pm onwards. It’s very stressful and frustrating. And then during the day, I’m doing my best to stay on top of house work and what not. But my husband, who is stressed because he has to drive the girls to and from school, which is a 40 min drive, and he cooks and does most of the night time cleaning, because little man refuses To be put down for more than 5 seconds. I’m sorry to rant. And then my oldest is so obsessed with him, she’s constantly waking him up from naps when she’s home and it’s frustrating. And doesn’t understand why he needs to sleep. I feel like shit because all my attention is on him right now and my lack of sleep.
