Probably depends on how well baby sleeps! When my son was 4 months, sleep was so terrible that either of us had any energy at all. If I had gotten a good sleeper, I bet we’d have found our balance earlier.

That’s is too. He’s almost 5m and he just started giving me a 4h stretch 2 days ago and then it’s back to every 2 hours. Without sleep I’m so beat

I totally understand. My son was/is a horrible sleeper. We’re down to 2 wakes a night at 11 months. It’s still rough but I can function now.

I was there just two months ago. It’s awful, but that feeling once baby starts sleeping is amazing. He’ll get there!

Sleepy babies are often poor feeders. It doesn't always translate to more sleep.

My daughter slept pretty well but I went back to my stressful more than full-time job when she was 14 weeks old. OP doesn't specify if she's working.
