Lack of sleep can harm baby?

Mama, I totally get it, night shift with a 5-month-old is honestly so tough, and the insomnia on top makes everything harder. The lack of sleep will definitely affect you (your mood, patience, immunity), which indirectly affects how you're able to care for baby, but I'd really suggest checking with your doctor about what's happening kasi they can give you proper advice on whether it's affecting baby directly and what's safe for you if you're breastfeeding. A few of us night-shift mums had to talk to our pediatrician din about our sleep schedule, kaya don't hesitate to ask, they might have suggestions to help you cope better too. Hugs, mama, this phase is really challenging!
