Hi ladies. I'm going quietly insane. Angus is waking 3 times a night, sometimes more, for a breastfeed or comfort suck. He only has 2 tiny catnaps during the day so I have no opportunity to rest then and I'm feeling like I'm at the end of my tether and starting to worry about my depression returning. DH and I are at each other most of the time as we are both so tired and stressed. I wasn't sure whether to post here, bfing, or the no-cry sleep section so mods, please feel free to move this if you think it belongs elsewhere.

I've been reading the baby steps plan in Sleeping Like a Baby but am not sure whether I need to get Angus to go to sleep without the breast before I try the night time weaning. I don't expect him to sleep 7 - 7 without a feed but I'm not coping with what's happening at the moment. He's still having 4 bfs during the day plus before bed plus all the ones during the night. People keep telling me to introduce formula or do CC but they're not what I want to do. I'm working 1 day a week (well trying to) plus looking after one of DS's cousins on another day each week (we have a rotating family roster so 3 of us with bubs the same age can work one day without needing external childcare). I'm feeling like I can't keep doing this as I'm so beside myself and feel like I'm not being a good mum, good worker or good partner to DH.

I'm sorry this is so incoherent. I'd love to hear any advice, suggestions, experiences from you lovely ladies. We're taking Pinky's advice and hanging in and taking care of ourselves while we take stock and develop a plan of action.

TIA
