I don't "complain" about my lack of sleep, but if someone asks, I am honest and say I am always tired. Wish I wasn't, but I am. I've always needed more sleep than most people - when I was working full-time, there'd be days I'd still be tired after sleeping for 10 hours straight!
So waking up 3 times a night and BFing my DD to sleep for anything from 20 mins to 1 hour is very hard for me.
I wish it didn't bother me, but it's the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my entire life. I feel heaps of guilt about this, since so many other mums just get on and do it. I do think I'm a bad mum for feeling this way - which is a main reason why DD will be an only child. (And then more guilt about that too, just for good measure!)
But I've dealt with it for 14 months now, so I'm sure I'll survive another 14 months, if need be! Maybe it will stop by the time she's 3 years old
