Tasha we all know that feeling you are talking about - the being unable to drive feeling because you are so tired. Some nights I get 1-2 hours sleep and the day after I feel like that. Or like I'm terribly hungover, which sucks because I missed out on the being giddy and happy from alcohol in the first place!

I swear - your body will adjust. Its not your baby that needs to do something, its just your body that needs to adjust to the lack of sleep from what it was getting before.

Your baby is normal. Those times seem totally normal to me. I went to bed around 10.30 when dd3 woke for a feed and just fell asleep with her. Some nights I would feed her up to 7 times. I didn't know what time because I didn't look at the clock. I started feeding her while looking at bb and Facebook but I was so tired I would start falling asleep and once I dropped the phone on her head LOL

Please try not to compare her with other babies, because its just a ****ing contest their whole life. You will always find something to compare herewith other children, another reason to think she may be behind or failing.

Dd1 was my slowest to sit up, crawl, walk - compared to all my children. She walks the same as every other 5 year old and I swear when they get to school age it wont matter which kid did what first because they are all the same and you can't tell by looking at them who the baby was that slept through at 7 weeks.

Yes its painful at this stage. Yes its tough. That's why as well as nurturing her, you have to nurture yourself.

I promise you that your housework doesn't not have to be up to date - I can post you pics of my "spotless" house if you like

Chuck a load of washing on when you can. If you run out if clean clothes, wear dirty ones LOL buy plastic dishes instead of having to wash up - whatever gets you through.
