Katones: I feel the same as you. I feel really alone because I have no family anywhere near me. I am sick with gastro and I don't have any energy but Jude is crying all day and just wants to comfort suckle, it's the only way he'll relax. Actually, he's having a catnap right now which is the only reason I have any downtime, but he weed and vomitted all over my bed so I had to wash the sheets, and I had to let him bawl and scream while I did that so I felt terrible and like I am the worst mother in the world because I don't know why he's crying. So I cried and rubbed his tummy because I didn't know what else to do, then he gave up in the end and fell asleep.
Itsme: I finally just got dressed, mainly because I was tired of being covered in vomit. Not all babies take dummies, some won't drink from bottles either. Does Maya really not like a car drive? That's one trick we have as a final straw to get Jude settled, but if he's hungry the car trip becomes hell.
You are all right about a 6-week growth spurt. When we took Jude to the Paediatrician he was weighed. Before this week he gained around 200-220g a week, but last week he gained 400g. It is tiring and it's really really hard. I also can't help lamenting that my once-perky perfect breasts are now saggy sacks covered in purple stretch marks. I feel like a cow.
Jude slept wonderfully last night, a big change from the night before (5 hours of sleep then another 5 hours of sleep), but I had terrible insomnia from 1am all night. Why????
