Much the same at night, thanks for asking. It's only at night time (overnight) when I feel this way.

DD is very slowly giving me longer stretches at night now with sleep - at least one 4 hour stretch so I guess I am just really really tired and run down just now. Feeling the strain more than ever. When she wakes for a feed I am physically anxious and cringing at times. So weird because I LOVE feeding her in the daylight hours.

*sigh*

This too shall pass! (It bloody better!)
Does she feed at every wake up? My LO used to feed at every wake up, and then i began rubbing her back first. Initially, she wasn't keen and would just want boob, but over time she began to relax just with the backrub and would go back to sleep. I never refused to give her a feed, and (fortunately for me) over time she got used to going back to sleep with cuddles instead of a feed. She still wakes most nights and comes into our bed (she is in a side car cot atm) but usually doesn't feed overnight. She has been sick this week and has had feeds overnight, but i feel ok about them cos i know she needs/wants them rather than both of us feeding overnight out of habit. I also wear clothes overnight that mean bub can't just help herself and i have to rearrange to feed. Also, we have a non-drip drink bottle of water easily accessible so she has something to drink if she is thirsty.

Will she go to your partner overnight? Can you swap sides of the bed and see if she will settle for him first?

I know it's hard to make the night changes, especially when you are so tired, cos they don't always go easy. Keep remembering.. this too shall pass
