Help- exhausted!
My LO is 15 months and still breastfed. Over the last few weeks, I feel like we have gone back to the newborn cluster feeding stage. During the day, she refuses to eat food and just wants to be fed by me constantly! At night, we are awake every hour with her wanting to feed. I’m so tired, I give in half the time as it sends her straight back to sleep. If I refuse to feed her, she will cry and cry and then wake herself up so that we are both away for hours!
She’s going through big changes at the moment. Her dad has left us so I think a lot of it is comfort but I’m just finding it exhausting. No sleep, alongside dealing with everything else is getting too much!😴😭
Aww momma I’m so sorry that’s rough! It sounds to me like she needing some extra comfort as you both are going thru big changes and you are that for her. So sweet but so hard! She will be ok eventually and it will just be a season. So it’s just survival mode right now. Maybe go back to baby feeding when you breastfeed first then offer food just to fill her up a bit more and hopefully that helps with sleep! And maybe try cosleeping to help with the constant waking and both of you can get more sleep. And when things feel more normal you can adjust back to your regular sleeping and eating situations. Reach out to friends or relatives for help so you can take care of yourself a bit too! Hang in there momma 😘
