it's really difficult, I feel your pain. my husband and I tried to take shifts to care for the baby during the night. e.g. husband goes to bed as early as possible, around 7pm. I have dinner at 7pm, feed the baby around 7.30pm, then baby and I go to bed. husband takes care of baby when she wakes up around 10.30pm. then I wake up for the next one around 1am. this way at least we both try to get some uninterrupted sleep. "try"
Is there anyone who can help you? Like your husband or get a confinement nanny or helper for this time being given that you are still in your confinement period. For my case I have my husband and mum to help so during the day I will either breastfeed or pump then during the night I will pump but my husband or my mum will feed my baby with formula.
Thanks for your reply, Priscilla! We didn't engage any helper nor confinement lady so I told my husband to sleep at night since he has to take care of our older one and help out during the day. My baby latches and somehow seeks to the breasts for final drink before he falls asleep. 😅 Is your baby getting used to either breastfeed or bottle-feed? I am just wondering if I only bottle feed him during the night, will he be alright to latch on again?
