I adopted my son at birth as a single mom and remember those horrible sleepless nights oh so well. You will have to hit around 4 months before you can start sleep training and trying to stretch out the bottle feedings. Until then, rely on anyone who will help. If you can get a friend or relative to take a night shift even once a week for you so you can sleep 8 or more hours, you will feel like a human being again. It was the only thing that helped keep me sane.

PS Also try to shower every day even if you don't have the energy to move. Not showering adds to the whole exhaustive depression new moms face.
