My big news: I have a baby hammock, as Alexandra would sleep for a max of 45 twice a day and then maybe four or five 10-15min cap naps, that was it - it was driving me insane - she would only sleep if I was carring her - at night she was fine, just the day time thing... anyway, as soon as we put the hammock up (at 10am) she sleep for 2.5 hours - that afternoon I had mothers group, got back at 5pm and she went back to sleep till basically 7.30am today!!!!!!!!!! (I woke her every 4 hours for a feed, but she would go straight back to sleep). I've declared my house a no cry house now.. it is AMAZING... When every she gumbles, I pop her in and she LOVES it.. There have been no tears in 24 hours.. lets hope it last hey?
Dee78 - the girl I go to mothers group with is on the mini pill and she told me that she felt her milk drying up because of it. The midwife who was runnign the group said that it was a common side effect, but maybe you can try and see for yourself, if you feel you are getting less milk, you can stop - I'm pretty sure your supply would come back once you stoped? (maybe check this with others?).... Sorry your having a few relationship problems, having a baby is a HUGE change on anyones life.. HUGS
I hope it gets better soon (I'm sure once you get more sleep it will)..Have you tried a hammock - I swear for me it has been LIFE changing...the house is clean, dinner is made, DH and I had a good cuddle last night and I'm back on belly belly...I think if you get more sleep you will both be in a much better place to spend time together and enjoy each other...it is probably not the relationship, just the lack of sleep both of you are enduring.... and lack of time together..
