Ellie, I resonate so much with what you are saying - sleep deprivation affects all areas of your life as a mum, and yet it's also something that we are just supposed to get on with and not complain about it,which is crazy really! My third child is 2 and he is by far my worst sleeper, mainly due to him being so itchy at night with his eczema, but my gosh, those nights when you feel so lonely and full of despair because you literally haven't slept and you can't settle your child, are so so hard. Mentally, they take their toll. My eldest is 10 and she still struggles to get to sleep and stay asleep. Luckily my middle son who is 7 is a good sleeper. Sending solidarity to you with the sleep struggles x
Thanks for reading Jenna, I’m glad my experience resonates with other mums! It’s just not spoken about enough and it’s such a debilitating thing to go through, especially when it’s for years on end. I really can empathise with your experience with your youngest and eldest! I hope more sleep comes to your home soon, but in the meantime, know that you are not alone ❤️
