How long will this last??

[Heaven]

I'm so tired!! We've hit the dreaded 12 wks!! DD is feeding like a mad woman and waking up so much at night to feed, sometimes hourly, omg. I have 5 mouth ulcers!! Always a sign that I need more rest. And now I'm getting a cold Just what I need.

How long will it last? It's been 3 days now. Could tonight be the night of blissful sleep? I hope so.

Hang in there Heaven, it will get easier! Are you feeding bub in a chair? I found bringing DD into bed with us to feed so much easier as I could rest at the same time.(and maybe have a little nap if you feel comfortable to do so)

I know its so hard when your busy with the little one but try to eat lots of vegies for your health and look after yourself as well as your precious one

we usually found that DD took a good 3-5 nights during any developmental shift. it took us AGES to work out that there was a pattern though. have you thought back to any of her other really disrupted periods? may give an insight into what you are in for and how long ITMS.

hang in there, like all things this too shall pass xx

Go to bed woman!!! Take her with you, take a book, a magazine, a laptop or the TV. Plus snacks and drinks. Rest all day. Sleep when she does and ride the wave. It shouldn't be much longer but look after yourself while it lasts

DS had a growth spurt last week at 6 weeks and it lasted 3 days - constant feeding and very little sleep. I was almost out of my mind by the end of it. The next night he slept 6 hours straight (for the first time ever, but hasn't again since!) so I had a bit of a chance to rest and sleep.
It shouldn't be too much longer. Hang in there, and try and feed and rest in bed at the same time if you can.
