    Given the feeding thing I'd try chiro or osteo, yeah.
    Just try to be realistic with her and yourself - it is really hard and you do need a break sometimes. Working around it is often more effective. so doing whatever you can to maximise sleep - bedshare, nap during the day, forget about housework, sleep ins on the weekend, etc,etc
    in a couple of year's time you'll look back and think, oh yeah, that wasn't so bad really

    She's booked in for the chiro on Friday morning. I wasn't expecting to be able to get in so soon but they've had a cancellation!

    DH is really stepping up and helping when he can, but he's got to function at work and does maintenance on big machinery so I'd rather not have him too exhausted. I've cried it out this morning (even cried about breaking a knife in my failed Rocky Road lol) and feel loads better. Tomorrow & Thurs we have no plans, so I think we'll just take it easy and sleep when we can.

    I think it's worse because she used to sleep through. It's worse knowing that she's done it plenty of times, and I remember how rested I felt! I don't know if maybe this had been the norm all along I'd just be used to it and just get by. But remembering what it used to be like... Oh well. But we'll get by, it won't be forever And hopefully the chiropractor can help us out.
