Well after one good night we are back to having terrible nights again! It is so frustrating as I tried to do all the right things, all the same things that resulted in a great night the other night but nothing seemed to work and Leila just wouldn't settle. The only time I could get her to sleep was with her lying on my chest which I know is not a good thing to get in to but when she screams and screams and wont settle any other way what can you do? I know that without sleep she gets worse so I figured at least some sleep even though not in an ideal position is better than no sleep? I'm starting to feel like I'm losing it today. Last week I had a cracked, bleeding nipple which is still healing and sore to feed from and in the last couple of days I've had mastitis so I have felt dreadful with a really sore boob and fever, thankfully it seems to be clearing up now. This is all so hard!!!!!!!! To make it worse I have an exam to do - my last ever exam thank goodness. It is a take home exam which is not too bad and the lecturer gave me a few extra days to do it but I know it's not helping as I'm stressed and anxious about getting it done on top of having a baby that wont settle at night... I need a break!
