[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I struggled because I bought into the attachment parenting, breast feeding on demand ethos that is so popular. I was a zombie. Literally. And I was a terrible partner, and a crap worker, and not my best to my older toddler. I did what the PP poster suggested. I gave myself a break. I sleep trained at 5 months. When I was tired, I gave the baby a bottle of formula and slept while I DH did the night feed. I cut myself a massive amount of slack and also (most importantly) recognized that DH was doing his best. We both were. I went about (after getting more sleep) developing a spirit of appreciation in our marriage. He did too. And honestly, things fell into place once the youngest was like 3. But holy hell. I wouldn't go back. It was horrific. [/quote]
