Yea that sounds right, and remeber LO is only 5weeks old your bound to be tired your iron levels just aren't helping the situation!! Remember to take iron tablets with OJ or vitamin C to help you absorb the iron better. Hope you feel more alert soon x x

Definitely take your iron tablets still, and if you can, try to nap while he is napping. At least like one during the day. I think new parents walk around in a sleep deprived state for the first few months. When I first had Erica, I would fall asleep typing on BNB LOL!

I'm SO exhausted! I was driving around town and was falling asleep. It was kinda scary. I think I've been going too much. I'm taking today and tomorrow to just relax!
