Any other new mums sleeping several hours in the day and still tired?

9.5 months pp and breastfeeding. Recently started cosleeping just for naps in the day, and getting two naps a day between one and two hours and still tired! When does the tiredness get better?

Girl, breastfeeding is so exhausting. If your body needs rest, rest. If you are concerned about your health beyond just breastfeeding/PP exhaustion, talk to your primary care provider about checking your vitamin/mineral levels. Im still exhausted at 22 months but my toddler has never slept through the night

I found that my energy levels became better once I stopped breastfeeding

Have you had your iron levels checked?

Had a blood test recently and getting a follow up appointment soon. It would be nice if there was something to take to help!

I read somewhere that breastfeeding is the energy equivalent of walking 7 miles a day or something like that I can’t remember but I believe it I’m exhausted all the damn time
