I'm at the end of my tether, I'm so tired, and so stressed.
My little boy is 6 weeks, 1 day. He was doing 2oz every 2 hours which although not great, it was routine which made things easier, and during the night he would have a 4 hour sleep when first put too bed, then would do 3 hours then 2, which again, was fine!
He is now drinking anything from 2-4oz every 2-3 hours during day, and at night will drink 2oz every 1.5-2 hours, his normal night time routine is completely shot now and he will no longer go 4 hours in first stretch. I'm getting no sleep atall, I'm so tired :,( I feel myself getting angry with him because I'm tired. Originally I blamed it on a growth spurt even though that's not till 7 weeks, but it's not a growth spurt as this has been going on for 3-4 days now.
I cannot get him to take more milk in one feeding in the hope he goes longer because once he's had what he wants, he absolutely refuses to take the bottle and will be sick if I do manage to get the
Bottle in his mouth.
What can I do, why Is this suddenly happening? I don't think I can cope with this sudden constant cluster feeding!
