That night, out of pure desperation and sleep deprivation, I brought my son into my bed for part of the night. But she laid out seven things that make it safer. She asked if we’d thought about bedsharing to get more sleep. My friend who’s a La Leche League Leader came over and saw how worn down and bleary-eyed my husband and I looked. I could not understand how other mothers survived this, because I didn’t think I was going to. I had no idea I could feel that exhausted. Wah! Wah! Wah! Drag yourself out of your nice cozy bed, pick up your screaming baby, sit down to nurse, try to stay awake, put him back in the crib, stagger back to bed, and hope, hope, hope he stays asleep for at least two hours.
