The first month was easy, then evil colic reared its head or butt I should say. We were so unprepared for colic and baby sleep issues that it took the wind out of our sails. Once we started doing Happiest Baby and the Windi, things improved a lot. The best improvement was at 6 months when we sleep trained. I don't know how I functioned for those first 6 months. I still look back and wonder how I did and am I crazy to want another baby to go through the same thing again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-807033 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:22:18 +0000 skibobrown 807033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember 4-8 weeks being really tough. After that time, DD started sleeping for at least a 5 hour stretch at the beginning of the night, and I found if I could get 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep, then things were a lot better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-806996 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:10:40 +0000 Springtime 806996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-4 weeks was the worst for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-806986 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:05:38 +0000 hilsy85 806986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly I was more tired around 4 months whe my previously great sleeper became a crappy one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-806978 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:03:16 +0000 beesknees 806978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say about the end of the first week. I hadn't slept really at all. I was laying in the bed talking to my mom and fell asleep and started talking in my sleep. All in 20 seconds. Thats when I knew I was so exhausted, that I had to do whatever I could to get a solid chunk of sleep in. (like 4 hours at least). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-805830 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:22:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 805830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been a great sleeper all along but caused me miserable insomnia for the last three weeks of my pregnancy. Believe it or not I slept better once she was out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-805797 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:12:48 +0000 immabeetoo 805797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 4 weeks. Adrenaline &amp; hormones wore off, we'd moved into our new house/state, my postpartum complications were lingering, and LO was even less sleepy than before (which is saying something!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-805793 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:12:09 +0000 chopsuey 805793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 weeks when DS started STTN. You'd think extra sleep would make me less tired. I had gotten used to waking up every 3-4 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-805779 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:09:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 805779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yes! It went from me getting up to nurse at 12 am, 2 am and 4 am.... To just waking up at 11 pm and 4 am, which was so much more manageable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-805080 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:01:03 +0000 Andrea 805080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's all a blur! I think I've generally felt ok because I made sure to take a quick 20 min nap every day. I still do that now. I do not usually fall asleep but just resting for 20 really helps me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-804923 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:31:16 +0000 sylvie_b 804923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks 2-4 kicked my butt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-804912 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:29:41 +0000 banana 804912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks 4-6 were the hardest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-804898 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:27:40 +0000 autumnlove 804898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Did J start sleeping better at 7 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-803650 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:12:29 +0000 Freckles 803650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks 3-8 were the hardest. The first two weeks were so good, and then colic (or what we thought was colic) hit at the 3 week mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-803628 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:07:06 +0000 sslm 803628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3 weeks pp was the worst for me.

Getting a full night's rest, followed by crappy sleep for a few days, and then a full night's rest again was so hard and confusing to my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-new-baby-fatigue-hit-you-hard#post-803548 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:46:23 +0000 autumnlove 803548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost one month PP and the fatigue is hitting me hard right now! I need to get it together because DH goes back to work next week. I think I will drop some extra pump sessions so I can take naps during the day. </p>
