Sleeping worse and going back to work

Why is it that LO is now sleeping worse than ever and of course it's starting when I go back to work on Thu.  Since the weekend she's been waking every 2-3 hours, crabby, gas, and either no pooping or having such massive poops that I'm changing a diaper outfit, swaddle and her bed. The last 2 nights she's basically fuzz/cried from 4am on.  I feel like I'm getting no sleep (well at least decent sleep).  I'm praying that I can get her straightened out before Thu but I doubt it. Thank god I'm only working 2 days this week then have the weekend to recover before going back for a full week next week. My other fear is it she's this cranky now what's next week going to be like -she has her 2 month pedi appointment on Monday :(  If I don't get some sleep soon I think I'm going to loose it. I almost lost it on husband last night/this morning. Because all he does is bring up what I've been eating (I BF) which I have been trying to figure out if that's it. But the way he brings it up always makes me feel even worse than I already do by not being able to comfort her. And even though he knew she was just being fussy last night (and not really needing a feeding) he just kept his happy little butt in bed. Even after I had mentioned that I needed to clean up our hall floor because LO had split up up over my shoulder and onto the floor.  Sigh sorry about during this into a vent.

    I say you should put LO ON H while he's sleeping and she's crying.  I've done that and then had to go cool off (I have anger issues if i don't sleep).  Then again, I get jealous when H is sleeping and I'm sitting up for 2 hours a feeding...right next to him..as he snores...

    As far as being fussy, I think it's just normal, frustrating, but normal. If you want, you can make a list of the things you eat on a regular basis and maybe go over it with your pedi to see if he/she has any suggestions on how it may or may not be effecting your milk.

    As for your husband, you're not alone. My husband doesn't get up in the night to do anything! I just started working this week and told him that he would now have to help me. His excuse is that he's in sales so he has to be on his game. I guess being a billing specialist for a large law firm doesn't require being on my game. On top of that, Tues. through Thurs. he makes his own schedule so he can sleep in until 7am-9am!!! I'm up at 5am everyday after 1-2 feedings a night!!!! So, I feel your pain. Only a few more months and our LOs should be sleeping better... hopefully!
