Does anybody else get really tired breastfeeding? I mean even if I sit up I have to keep myself from…

yes. It is hormones! As if breastfeeding wasnt hard enough. I cant remember but I think it is prolactin or something. It gets easier, or at least it did for me.

Yesssss! It was awful, and the worst after our bedtime nurse. For the longest time I couldn’t stay up at night, I would get done nursing, sit down to watch tv with my husband and be asleep within minutes.

@humblewarriormama I have to try not to fall asleep holding him

The night feeds are just the worst honestly, i have to be up on my phone or else I’ll crash out again😑 which is what I’m doing now

@rubysmama I had to too but then I feel bad because I'm on my phone lol

For one just having a baby is very tiring. The first couple weeks I would just pass out and it scared me. I would ask but husband to keep a eye on us because he was usually playing games in our room while I nursed. But it also triggers a hormone to sleep so add that on top of being exhausted.

@natcasey9, I’d have to have the tv on or read on my phone. Or my husband would stay in the room with me and make sure everything was good. I definitely nodded off a handful of times. It does get better the more you get used to it, but those first few weeks/months were rough.
