Everything Is Against ME!!!

Thread Starter 
Sleep wise that is.....I swear that both children talk the night before on who is going to be the early riser or who will terrorize me the most. Ds is just over 2 and usually goes to bed at 9...whether he goes to sleep is a whole nother story. DD who is 3 months I have not been able to figure out in the least...except that she likes mom to be sleep deprived. She can go to sleep anywhere from 7-11 p.m. and used to wake up from 8-9...now the max is 7:30. Ds used to wake up at 7:30...now she does and he sleeps till 8 or so! Last night I put dd down at 7:30 (nursed to sleep) she woke EVERY HOUR until 1!! Literally!! Not to eat but to rock her bak to sleep. I even fed her 3, 5, 7, AND 9 to fill her up. I have given her rescue rememdy to help her sleep...apparently it doesn't work at night : I have to wear out ds to even take a nap which means leaving the house....which dd hates the car seat : and if i sling her then she sleeps to much : and then of course getting them to nap at the same time!! Ha!!!

I just feel like I am not allowed to have a semi normal night of sleep...now mind you i KNOW she can sleep 7-8 hours at night...shes over 15lbs and she has done that 3 nights IN A ROW before (just a week ago). So whats up? I am eternally screwed to have opposite children?

Welcome to life with two small children.

Is there any way you can get your dh to do some of the rocking routine at night so you can get a little more sleep? Or maybe have him get up with the kids during the weekends so you can sleep in?

I'm sorry things are rough now! I've been there.

ugh 2 small children!! ugh...i hope that i survive!

no dh is not able to help. right now he is working 12-13 hours...from 7 p.m. to 7ish a.m. and he is working this weekend although usually we each have a day to sleep in but i always get up with dd whether its my day to sleep or not plus when hes not working 12's he works another job so hes gone or sleeping pretty much 24/5.

i am just wondering WHY she can't stay asleep. theres not alot of loud noises, i have white noise in her room, shes swaddled, fed, warm, familiar witht he surrondings...:
