sick and tired (literally too)

u can call me names or that i’m ungrateful but i’m really so tired. of breastfeeding of being stuck in a never ending routine of feeding, changing, trying to make baby sleep and repeat and repeat AND REPEAT while covered in sweat, puke and even pee. when will baby stop feeding every 2-3 hours? even when mixed feeding baby still demands feeding frequently. when will my nipples stop hurting like razor blades cutting into me? (FYI baby latches correctly but i’m just so sore still) and don’t tell me to “nap when baby naps”. easier said than done. baby takes up to 2hours to sleep after feed and then after washing bottles etc, it’s time to breastfeed again. i don’t even have time to pee let alone eat at times. and i do have help but some things nobody can help me. it goes on 24/7. i’m falling sick too. srsly anybody else feels this way like me??

It really does get better. I was taking care of my baby all on my own including weekends from birth till 3 months plus. Like you, I didn't have time to pee, eat or s*** and I developed piles cos I was constipated. Have you tried baby wearing? Some babies are soothed by their mother's rocking/ walking around because it feels like they're still in the womb. Babies also tend to fuss more when they're undergoing growth spurt but it will pass. I suggest you download the wonder weeks app to find out more about growth spurts. Regarding nipple pain, lather on more nipple cream after latching. Unfortunately, the 2-3 hourly feeds will last till they are about 4 months. But by the time they are 10 weeks old, they should be sleeping longer intervals already. Jia you. Dont give up breastfeeding.
