Hi girls,

My baby is 8 days old today. Since her birth, I haven't been able to catch much sleep. DH is sick with bronchitis due to exhaustion. As for me, I think I have only gotten at most 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep in total per day.

My baby wakes up every night around 2 am and stays up until 7 am. During the day, she's a heavy sleeper but would still get up for regular feeds. However, during the times she's sleeping, I am so occupied in getting stuffs done i.e. pumping breast milk into bottles, getting her things tidied up, and etc. So, breastfeeding is another problem here because I won't be able to get her latch properly on my breast.

Has anyone of you experience the same situation? What did you do to correct your baby's sleep cycle? How long will this continue to last because I am on the edge of getting sick (started getting a low grade fever)...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. THank u!
