I have 1 month year old baby boy. My sleep is just 3-4 hrs at night. I feel dizziness whole day. I m also suffering with depression. I am living at my Nani's place. My nana expired on 3rd Feb. This makes my depression worst. If anyone talks about his death what happened and all I feel horrible as everything comes infront of my eyes. My baby can't suck my cracked and retracted nipples. I can only take out little milk through pump. I have to give him formula milk. Feel lot of guilt because of that. Please suggest what to do so that I can feed my baby breast milk. I try to sleep at day time whenever I get time but can't sleep, I can just close my eyes for 5-10 min. Thatsall. I am too depressed. My main causes of depression are that I can't breastfeed my baby, lack of sleep, and now nana's death also. Please suggest how to deal with all these. Help please. I need help desperately.
Hi Amita. to start off first heal ur cracked nipples,use nip care cream generously after feeding. before u feed clean n pat dry.
2) also I can understand u r shocked with ur Nana s death,please understand losing loved ones is part if life. He would not b happy to see u stressed. concentrate on ur baby who is waiting for all ur love n care.
3) seek help from a family member to catch up on more sleep in the night. may be somebody can look after the baby till 2 am n later u can handle r vice versa.
wishing u a speedy recovery from all these.

Take one step at a time. try to focus on your health. once you feel better you can manage everything. Ask for help of a lactation consultant to help you with breastfeeding. Don't feel guilty. Do as much as you can.
