DD sleeps from 7pm-6am with 2-3 wake-ups to nurse. Currently I'm too tired to get rid of the feedings so I give in. It takes less than 10 min to nurse, but if I let her cry she will sometimes cry longer than that. I go to bed around 10, so I get enough sleep, yet I'm tired and sleepy starting with the afternoon. If I could, I would drink coffee all day long, but I limit it to two cups.
Is anyone else experiencing this lack of energy rut? Did anyone get over it and how? Don't tell me to exercise! Lol Actually, I know I should. So far walking and lifting DD all day is all I get.
Re: Anyone else feel tired ALL the time?
Your schedule sounds a lot like ours. Most of the time I am somewhat tired (like "oh a nap sounds nice") but not exhausted. If I forget to take my vitamins I get SUPER tired and feel like just walking around is exhausting. Any chance you could be anemic? After 2 or 3 days of taking my vitamins again (I take a multi and an iron supplement) I start to feel human again - its a huge difference for me.
I feel tired pretty often. I did have a physical recently and all of my blood work came back normal. DD finally stopped waking during during the night to eat right around Mother's Day (the BEST present!), so I'm finally getting to sleep for a solid 8 hours most nights, which definitely helps.
I'm not going to tell you to exercise because you said not to, but I will say that I feel so much better on the days that I do exercise. We recently bought an Ibert bike seat for DD and I've been biking with her on most days. She loves it and so do I!
