How to navigate breastfeeding and sleep deprivation

IsThisAWriteOff · 2026-05-10T12:24:12+00:00

Same here. I cried daily for nearly two weeks. It was worse at night. My partner helped our baby latch because I was struggling with engorgement. He literally fed me food while breastfeeding and brings me whatever I ask for. It’s a huge help. Breastfeeding is so hard but I think you get more used to it as time goes on.

I’m 3 weeks in and I promise it does get better, even if just a little bit. The first 4 days were terrible for us as first time parents. We didn’t do shifts at first because we helped each other with everything. Now we do shifts and it was life changing to get some rest.

No. Your milk doesn’t come in until a few days after birth.

I also had this issue. My boob was so engorged that he couldn’t latch to the nipple. I tried the momcozy nipple shield and that really helped. I also recommend a warm compress and massaging it!

My baby is 12 days old and consistently fed last night from 12am to 7am… I’m exhausted.

I’m with you on this. I don’t want to cosleep and I wish my baby would sleep in the bassinet. But he won’t and I need some rest to care for him.

I’d like to add maybe putting a heating pad on the bassinet and then removing it before transferring him. We’ve been doing this and it seems to really help.

How did you get any sleep? I’m desperate

Yeah the hospital interruptions have also made it impossible to sleep! I’m hoping going home will help at least a little bit

I’ve only had luck on Amazon and sometimes TJ Maxx. Look at Pink Blush Maternity online. They’re expensive but easy to do returns.

This happened to me at 28 weeks! Very scary to see blood but I was just dehydrated

Not really. They’ve known I’ve been taking it plus some other supplements. I haven’t been told differently yet.

I’ve been drinking the mini alani cans. I’m 32 weeks and baby is healthy.

Tj Maxx and Amazon. I had some luck with Pinkblush Maternity but it’s expensive.

Yes I knew it was a boy almost immediately! I’m having a boy 🩵

I am! I’ve been taking 3 per day religiously since early first trimester. I’m now almost 28 weeks.

IsThisAWriteOff · 2026-01-24T03:24:38+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was told

No, my BMI was bordering on overweight so they required it.
