[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not a failure. My only advice would be to incorporate formula and split the night with DH. Like you take 9pm-2am and he takes 2am-7am or something like that, so you each actually get to sleep a few consecutive hours. Your milk supply will drop but my perspective as a formerly exhausted new parent was, “oh well.”

My kids are now 2 and 4 and they sleep a solid 11 hours, so know that it does get better. [/quote]

Excellent advice. Please take this, OP, because there’s no way to know how long this will go on so you need a sustainable routine.

And if it’s any consolation, sleep in the first couple of months is not indicative of sleep later on, I’ve found. I had one of those miracle dream newborns who woke only once a night and was easy to put back awake into her bassinet. Well, at two months she started waking every 10 minutes and could never be put back into the bassinet again. Three years later and we are still in a sleep clinic and she still hasn’t slept through the night. Meanwhile my friends with bad newborn sleepers all sorted their issues by 6-10 months and have great, independent sleepers. Hang in there. [/quote]
