Hi all
I ve been following the thread, and it is a relief i m not the only one facing the stressful bfeeding, the night feeds and all the issues..
Just to share, my bb now feeds at 11pm, and then wakes at abt 4 plus for the nite feed,he just does it automatcally one day when we brought him out shopping and he slept less in the afternoon..
before that he will wake at 1am and then at 4 am.. after we brought him out, he kinda slept through cuz too tired, then the second nite he started waking up at 4 already after his last feed at 11..
When bb is fussing, we find that taking him out works, like putting him in car seat and then bring him out while we go for tea/ coffee..
i have been pumping but the BM reducing, my bb no patience to latch and will kick up v big tantrum if milk flow too fast or too slow, so i end up feeding him bottled BM and FM.. at nite, if we give FM, he will wake at 4, if mix BM and Fm, he will wake sometimes twice, at 3 and then at 5..
I share the prob of being depress and getting more hot tempered.. and esp with this festive season, i feel left out as we used to host xmas party for frens, now cannot, now dunno even if can join xmas gathering, i mean if bring bb there, then always look at bb, then might as well stay at home right? so i v frustrated and keep telling my hubby i want our old life back..
the sudden decline in social activities made me feel v sad, and also all my frens dun ve kids, so they dun understand, suddenly i feel like i a fr another planet..
ve been shouting at hubby, esp. when i wake at 4 and then wake at 7 again when he goes to wk.. i thk sleeping at the dawn hrs make me more tired than anything.. so like now i dun sleep and surf the net instead..
whe the bb go bbsitter then i catch some sleep and prepare for weekends where i will ve to tend to him thru the day and nite.. sigh..
he is v cute, but really sapping on my energy, its like a love hate r/s...
