Nothing good comes from...

Lack of sleep and hormones. As I sit here at 4:30 am after being up for two hours with DD having a nursing session that ended with both of us crying. She would eat, seem like she was done, then cry again of I tried to get her to sleep, eat some more, seem finished, then cry, etc. and she'd scream anytime I tried to put her on the right side.

  • You are not alone!! That sounds exactly like how my night was last night. My son usually takes forever to nurse and I end up being awake with him 1-1.5 hours a couple times at night. But last night was just like your night, so frustrating! 
  • I feel ya... My LO pretty much sleeps all day so she is up all night. When my DH is home from work I try to function like a normal human but honestly I need to sleep all day too so I can catch up.

  • My boyfriend is the fricken baby whisperer. I can never get DD to relax when she's having a meltdown, but I pass her to him and she's quiet and asleep within seconds. Then I bawl my eyes out.
