Sleep deprivation is real man

Haven't slept more than 2 hours straight in 3 weeks. Baby is feeding every 2-3 hours around the clock and my wife and I are just trading off but never getting actual rest. I've started forgetting things at work and got angry at my mom for no reason yesterday. When does this get better? I love my daughter but I'm legit concerned about my ability to function.

I remember this phase. The 2 hour sleep stretches felt like a joke but also I was too tired to care about anything else. My only advice is stop trying to sleep perfectly. Grab whatever you can when you can. And coffee, so much coffee.
This is brutal but temporary. I'm not going to sugar coat it, the next few weeks are hard. But you're doing the right thing by getting up for every feeding. Before you know it the baby will sleep longer and you'll actually miss this. Or at least that's what people tell me.
