I really wanted to make a new thread in our new server to see how it all works. I found a reason tonight. dd2 is nearly 2. When she was a tiny baby, she hardly cried and slept a lot. Nowadays it seems she cries all the time. We are very healthy, eat all organic, no gluten, no dairy, no soy or corn. I have thought maybe there is a correlation with me eating black pepper on my food and her crying. Do you think that could be it? We were living at my xh house and he would take over when she got really fussy like that because he could stand and sway holding her for a lot longer than I can. It hurts my back too much to do it for long. I can do it for like 10 min, which is long enough for her to go down, but then the second I sit... she is up and crying. I feel real bad for her, but I am also feeling selfish, like what about me? I used to have a bit of time to wind down alone (even though I do it in same room) and now it is a full time job to keep her from crying.

We moved into an apartment at the beginning of this month and I am not used to apt life. There are quiet hours here and I don't know if a crying 2 yo at 2 am is breaking that or not. I know it is bothering the hell out of me though. I don't want her to cry. The only thing I can find to get her quiet is watching Maisy episodes over and over. Like she will watch 15 of them in a row. We also aren't used to keeping a schedule, so the whole quiet hours thing is stressing me out. We are on the top floor, end unit with a stairwell separating the neighbor, so technically there is only the people under us that probably hate us by now. Would they come tell me? She has stepped up her nursing again too, which is not something I want since she is already nursing every hour or two. dammit now she is saying, boobie, grabbing me and crying again. I have asked her if she wants food or water a few times and she keeps saying no. i am going to get an avocado and see if that helps. venting i guess but constructive help is welcome too.
