Hi,Laura.Sounds like Andrew is helping out a little.Problem is you're probably both tired and we all know what men are like when they're unwell,they're dying,so they don't cope too well with lack of sleep either.We Mums do cos we have to.I do all the getting up in the night,always have,always will,gave up on that years ago.It won't be forever,after a couple of weeks you'll probably find you get a more regular feeding pattern and some regular rest.With all of mine I can remember sitting up all night feeding thinking it'll never end,but it does.It is the hardest thing about having a newborn,especially with a small toddler.You're obviously doing a good job cos Lola's gaining weight well.Try to rest as much as you can while you can.Make the most of having Andrew home as an extra pair of hands,or even a babysitter while you go and do shopping,or sleep.
Don't forget it is still very early days.This will all pass.
It's probably wrong of me but I always do the last feed with the tv still on,however long that maybe,albeit very quiet,and my bedside light on.I think it only fair that it's not just me gets disturbed at night.Gives them some idea just what you're going through.I've also got very good at falling asleep sitting up feeding for hours in bed.I used to quite enjoy my evening liasons with Ty Pennington on UKTV Style.
