[quote=Anonymous]I love my kids, but honestly it was torture with my first. I bf and pumped, and due to low supply also supplemented a little with formula. I also had smaller (lower weight babies), which I think prolonged DCs not sleeping through the night. And, DC1 also had days/nights mixed up - would nap okay during the day but did not want to sleep at night. At points, I was literally delirious from sleep deprivation during my maternity leave. I was like OP and needed 8+ hours of sleep pre-kids and was not a morning person. My body has somewhat adjusted to functioning on much less sleep and I now automatically wake up at about 6:30/7 am every day. But eventually they do (mostly) sleep though the night and life got so much better after I was done bf and pumping.[/quote]
