I'm sorry to hear that you're not getting any sleep it's literally torture. Have you spoken to a sleep specialist by any chance? If your LO is safe and not crying and not upset I don't see why you don't sleep.

Oh the two hour stints are torture aren’t they! Is baby eating every three hours in the night then? What’s your routine for night, can you change anything around to give you time (have feeds ready to go if bottle fed, make sure everything’s clean and set up for yourself before bed) - I used to take a bottle with hot water, measured formula in a pot ready. And after feeding used to just leave bottle next to me if I was too far gone. Can you try taking little for a walk out the front of your house in pushchair till they nod off, as soon as they’re out come home park buggy next to bed / sofa and have a nap too. I lived by sleeping when he did for a long long time as I’m also on my own. Some weeks it was two hour windows as he wanted milk avery three hours - and when it got really rough I would literally take those two hours at every single opportunity. Ask for support from someone you trust, hire a professional to help even if a 1 off. Also Ask dr how they can support you. PPD is real ❤️

@Melissa I can’t afford it right now I’m still saving the get her a cot rather than her next to me, I fell into hardship 8 months pregnant like I couldn’t of imagined and fucked everything up, And I do rest my eyes if she’s up but not crying but she ends up rolling over and crying til she’s put back

@Tuesday I’m definitely suffering with ppd as I’m so miserable, I thought I was always meant to be a mother but I think I was wrong, i can’t even sleep in the day as she refuses naps like today she’s slept about 20 miniyes total nap time it’s a joke I get no breaks I can’t ask for help I’m losing my absolutely shit I’m exhausted! Tbh I’m more than exhausted I feel like I’m dead I need sleep to be a good mum with energy etc but I have none I ebf, she doesn’t want to feed every time she’s up just wanted to be picked up or fed back to sleep or dummy fell out or just doesn’t want anymore sleep and is up for the next 3/4 sometimes 5 hours! Last night she slept a bit from 8-11 but very on off sleep then was awake from 11/4:20 I couldn’t do anything to get her to sleep I gave up
