Exhausted and on the brink of depression 😥
Exhausted and on the brink of depression 😥
My son's been sleeping in his crib for over a month now. I was happy with how things were going. He had rough nights but he also had 5 and 7 hour stretches of uninterrupted sleep. Like I said in my last post, I couldn't believe it. After a short family trip and the end of daylight savings he is back to waking up almost every hour every night.
Now the days are shorter and darker. Today it was rainy and dark, I felt no energy at all and also very sad. I'm really hoping not to become depressed this winter...
I'm still breastfeeding and not going to let my baby cry it out, but this is tough and I don't know what else to do. I've tried every single technique and nothing works.
The hardest part is not being able to enjoy anything. I know he won't be a baby forever and I want to be a happy mom, but it's so hard. 😢
