[quote=Anonymous]For my first? Very. Unsustainably so. If I added up how much time I spent asleep each night- not feeding, not trying to go back to sleep after being up, just actually asleep- it was maybe 5 broken hours , and this lasted about 2 months, and I couldn’t nap either. I had post partum anxiety and just couldn’t wind down. For my second, it was totally doable. I was able to pass out immediately after feeding, and I used formula at night so my husband did one or two of the feeds. I slept 8 hours a night, broken up obviously but at least one stretch of uninterrupted 4 hours every single night. Lasted maybe 3 months. It wasn’t the baby- they were both good sleepers and stopped feeding overnight by 12 weeks. It was me and my debilitating anxiety and insomnia with my first. I wish I’d realized then that it wasn’t normal and gotten help for it. [/quote]
