I am going to try to make this short as posibble. 3.5 is a very high needs kiddo who will not fall asleep on his own and sometimes refuses to sleep with DH if I am home. 21 month DD still nurses to sleep and freaks out if DH tries to lay with her, even after I have nursed her for a long time. DS will sleep relatively easy for DH if I am not there, DD screams until she finally conk outs.
Almost every night (6 outta 7 days) I lay on the couch with both kiddos, holding DS and nursing DD, listening to music. While DH plays on the computer. This has really been okay for the last almost two years, BUT i just found out I am pregnant. My milk has kinda took a nose dive, so it has been harder for DD to go to sleep. Normally she is asleep within 15 minutes of nursing, now she gets up,plays games, pokes her brother, or rolls around while nursing. It hurt so bad. I have been sending her out to lay with DH but she FREAKS out. Uncontrolable crying, he tried to walk with her or take her on the swing outside, but she screams still. I try to rock her, but she only wants to nurse. The whole time I am with DD, DS is screaming for me.
I feel awful letting either one of them scream with my DH. I know it is different than CIO, but it makes me feel bad for them. Plus DH gets frustrated with them and ends up yelling. I need something to change soon. How do you mamas with more than 2 do it??
