So DS2 almost can't sleep at all during the day because DS1 is SO FREAKING LOUD!
I either spend all day holding DS2 while he nurses/fusses/and lightly sleeps in my arms or sling... and DS1 is whining and cranky because I can't do anything with him because I'm holding DS2
Or... I spend all day trying to get DS2 to sleep in the bedroom and then reminding DS1 to be quiet. Then DS1 is even more upset and screaming everytime I remind him to be quiet so we can have time together! He'll start yelling at me that he's going to wake the baby up and that he wants the baby to cry all day
as soon as DS1 is in bed DS2 takes a LONG DEEP sleep which is at 7.... then he's waking up at 10 when I WANT TO GO TO BED!!!
WTH!?!?!?!
DH and I built a baby hammock hoping that DS2 could sleep a little better amid the noise, but DS1 just wants to play in it and starts screaming when I try to put DS2 in it. *shakes head* why did we try that???
I went and bought a humidifier for white noise today . . . hopefully that will help
any other suggestions?
