Yes, I try to get some sleep during the day but in reality, that rarely happens. The situation does get better after six months ... it really does. I felt like I was going mental there for a while.

But if your parents are around and can help out, that is fantastic. Maybe they can take the baby out for a couple of hours while you nap.

Edited to add: I just read Shell's post and remembered that I used to go to bed early, leaving DH to do the late feed which helped for a while when the screaming was at its peak. It made all the difference between me just being tired and feeling psychotic.
