My 7.5 month old is making me CRAZY! I haven't had more than 2 hours of sleep in the last 2ish months. He has developed a pretty severe case of stranger anxiety(if I'm not holding him), he is very mobile(crawling-fast), he needs the boob ALL NIGHT. I'm seriously thinking about using a pacifier at night only because I'm on the brink of insanity. His needs are extremely high right now. He's gone from an easy-going newborn to a high needs older baby. He eats constantly he'll seriously eat solids until he pukes, he won't stop. He'll nurse all day and all night. He's very verbal also, and will cry "mama, mama" if I put him down for a second.
This is also grating on DH's and my relationship, or should I say lack of one. Currently it's just trying to pacify one kid or the other, DD is is a high energy 3.5 year old who is just always on. The only thing I have to look forward to currently is work, at least then I'm not here.
I'm trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but right now it just isn't looking like there is one. Up until a month ago I enjoyed all of it and now I'm pretty much unhappy everyday. Does it get better or am I now just stuck with this life of being a walking milk machine who never gets 5 minutes alone to even go to the bathroom?
Sorry for the pity party-I'm just feeling literally sucked dry.
