You have my sympathy..I remember those sleepless nights. It is so difficult to function on little sleep, yet with a baby there is no choice. You just have to go through it and then understand other women when they go through it..maybe even offer to babysit for a new mother. That's what happened to me.
I have always said I can handle anything if I get enough sleep but I still remember those days when my kids were babies and I was sleepless..so I wish you all the best and hopefully you will soon get more sleep!

when my kids were born, I also did not have eight hours sleep.
maybe two or three hours later I was exhausted.
but the more children grow so much better is because they learn and then they slept with me and I felt good.
will pass this time nice and remember him as something enjoyable.
nice day!

It is normal for us newly moms to experienced sleepless nights.. I even experienced not having a sleep at all because my son doesn't want to go to sleep he just want me to cradle him.. you should be patient that time where you can sleep straight 5-6 hours will come in time.. or if you feel that you really need to take a rest find someone who will take care of your chid even for just how many hours..

I was planning about hiring someone to take care of my child but I am afraid. Seeing news in the TV giving me a nightmare that my son end up with a nanny who will make his life like hell. So I better be a hand's on Mom. I just need to wait til the time comes that I can fully have that beauty sleep. For now, I need to take care of him and forget about sleeping beauty :D

Yes, each mother will experience this situation. I also sleep about 4-6 hours a day, but I cannot sleep comfort, because when I sleep about 1 hour, my baby awake and i have to wake up to give her milk. I think we will get sleep comfort when our child reach 1 year old.

I too was patiently waiting for my now 1 yr old son to start sleeping thru the night so I could get some uninterrupted sleep. He still wakes 3-4 times to nurse and I stay tired. Its surprising how well I can function on so little zzz's. I've tried feeding a good hearty meal before bedtime but still wakes about 1am. Sometimes it seems that he's latched on for most of the night. Hope everyone else does not experience this for as long as me.
