Moms naturally feel quietly and anxious when separating from babies, but if it gets too overwhelming for you, you need to find a way to get the rest needed before you get too insane. I know what I'm talking about - I've gone insane with two little kids (my second was born when first one was less than 2). It's still hard for me to acknowledge my needs, my borders because babies needs naturally come first and moms are ready to scarifies everything. But the thing is - babies are happy when their moms are happy.
Other thing for night feeding - do you sleep with your baby in the same bed? For me it was lot easier if we slept together and I didn't have to bother waking up fully and not falling asleep while feeding. Safety of course needs to be considered.

Baby is BF and some puree, I am seriously considering formula because I need my sanity back, I don't know..I always had a hard time napping during the day, I don know if it's the circadian cycle, outside noise, doors opening closing, I drink chamomille put some music on. Yes I do cosleep, I love it esp because I don't have to pick up/put baby down every time. It makes me anxious I am not sleep-training because that's what's going to solve my problems, I think. I tried but there's more waking and crying than when I'm not right there. Baby is napping right now, I'm on here, and then I have to eat, I am starving!
Thanks for talking about it with me it really helps. Thanks for the reminder that I have to be happy too :-)
