I don't know what my problem is, but for the last few days I have been feeling so short tempered with DD. So here is my vent!
Yesterday she was grizzling and grizzling and grizzling, so i decided to take her for a walk, but she SCREAMED as soon as I put her in the pram. I didn't want to use the sling because I had been carrying her for the last 4 hours and needed a break...so I ended up feeding her, for like an hour, just to keep her quiet (gee my nipples hurt today because of it!) Last night she woke me every 2.5 hours for a feed, and then woke at 6:30am grizzling and grizzling and grizzling!!!
Arrgghhhh. I know it is mainly sleep deprivation that is making me so impatient...but I feel so out of control of my emotions. I keep gritting my teeth and clenching my fists with frustration. i even shouted "shut up" in the middle of the night when she started grizzling and grizzling.
Everyone else I know seems to have it together a little bit more than me (or their babies sleep through the night). Honestly I am really starting to resent night-time parenting at the moment...but I think I am being unrealistic to expect her to go from 2 plus feeds a night to no feeds (I am even starting to question my milk supply because I just seem to feed and feed and feed!)
Please tell me I am not alone...because I am starting to feel that way.
