I've never heard of wonder weeks until now but ive just been having the worst 5 days with my LO and been nearly as exhausted as I was the week after she was born!
ive nearly given up breastfeeding over it as she wants to feed literally all day and all night! today is the first day shes given me a bit of a break! Ive wanted to write on here please help me but havent been able to get on here to write it!!
can I hope to have my life back a bit now and get rid of these bags under my eyes?

I know how you feel!! I'm in week 11 and it's tough at the mo (overall, LO has been an easy baby). Lots of inconsolable screaming, hours of feeding (of course just when I am ready to sleep! And the 2 year old won't let us sleep in in the morning...). Am just as exhausted as in the first week (more so actually).
Hopefully it's just a phase!

We have just got through ww19!!! It's so lovely to have my non demon boy back

How long did it last Tardiz? I'm trying to figure out when my wee man will be back to normal.

Ours started at about 17 weeks (but he was 16 days overdue) and the last two days he has been back to his normal self and has only woke once these last two nights (touch wood!) so id say about two weeks ish

Yes, I too am experiencing this week 12...my Lo is acting very unlike himself. He normally plays by himself a lot and the past couple of days I have hardly been able to put him down and then when I do he cries like I am killing him or something...and I have to hold him on my shoulder and walk around if I am not feeding him or else he also gets upset...also he isn't sleeping his naps by himself ..he wants in my arms and wants to comfort feed himself to sleep which leaves me no time to do anything. I called my husband today and told him I needed to hire someone just to bring me food because I wasn't cooking. Just last week I posted on here to someone else to get their sandwiches and wait it out on the couch and I am having a hard time taking my own advice. Just praying in the next 24 hours it will get better. This is my full 2nd day of this...I hope I get my little man back the way he was.
