hang in there. DD2 wouldn't sleep unless attached either. I was at my wits end very quickly cause I was so afraid I would smother her that I did not hardly sleep. Honestly her sleeping never improved until recently, but DH and I started cooperating on who got to sleep whenever possible. I would take naps in the afternoon after he got home we'd trade on the weekends, I got saturday morning, he got sunday, etc. Its really the only way I've survived.

i just have one baby and i understand totally! yesterday i just burst into tears because my bottom hurts so bad and my nipples hurt (she had a bad latch during colostrum, better now but the soreness is still residual) and she wasnt getting full on colostrum and so she just cried and nursed and cried and nursed and my dh wanted to go to the hardware store so he could install a gas line and hook up the drier (while im on bedrest... thank you no.) and i just couldnt handle it. but now that my milk has come in ,its a little better!

BIIGGG hugs for you..everyone really!

As others have said, i'd really try nursing laying down between babe's. sleep makes all the difference. that first week-week and a half home this time was horrible. I couldn't even get more than 15min sleep even when baby was and it was horrible!

Yesterday DD#3(almost 23mo) was MISERABLE(DD 2 snuck her a granola bar and she has celiac disease) and DD#4 was so cranky and wouldnt let me put her down for anything, even the wrap wasn't good enough, had to be my ARMS around her. DS 2 was being a royal pain in my rear, not listening to what i asked and so neither was DD2 ...... by afternoon i was ready to..do something drastic, i just couldn't figure out what exactly... i was ssssooooo happy when DH got home..he ddint help but i was ok once i knew i could ask for help I DID almost call my mom and ask her to get as many kids as she could handle though..lol. my parents run a wholesale flower biz from home and homeschool my sister(16) and have less than no time so i dont ask for help unless theres no other choice.

DD#4 also has a weird lump on her gum up front which causes a horrible latch and to much nursing wears on my nipple and has actually ripped it pretty bad a couple times to where i couldnt nurse on that side a few days...fun fun

Not an option i have but.... maybe put little ones in safe places(crib, carseat, highchair etc) grab something for music and lock yourself in the bathroom, even for 5 minutes. I"m totally anti cry it out... BUT they can cry for a couple minutes if needed for mom to regain sanity to DEAL with the crying again! Mommy getting a good cry in can help too!

connie--I just wanted to say that the pain will get less soon.
