100% having the same experience. It's mind bending how tired you can get.
We recently all had the flu, 2 nights of the baby having a fever and both of us being sick and also having a fever was one of the most testing things in my life.
- objektif 2y agoTry having a kid with febrile seizures. Mine runs 105 fevers casually for 5 to 7 days. We have to check her very often to make sure she is not going into a seizure.
- 2024throwaway 2y agoSorry. But it’s not a contest.
- objektif 2y agoOh no did not mean it that way. Not that I want a trophy for sleeping less lol. My point was as a new parent things can get a lot worse in terms of sleep deprivation. I was not prepared for it.
- verisimi 2y agoBest advice I heard on this, is for partners to take turns to get sleep if possible. Perhaps it's obvious, but we didn't do that initially. You really only need 3 hours or so (in my experience) and the insanity starts to subside.
