others in the same boat

Oh no.. I clicked on new thread when I meant to click on reply!!!
Is there a way to move my message to the thread: What would you make of this nighttime behaviour?

i get your tiredness, ds 1 didnt sleep much till he was about 4 years old, when ds 2 was born for the first 4 months i was night nursing both of them - in separate rooms as they disturbed each other otherwise and sleep was even worse!!

i understand sleep deprivation

i know this is cliche but can you sleep in the day whenhe does, or move a tv into the bedroom, snuggle up with a good film and nurse your baby and relax, i know housework is a pressure but how about having every other day as a housework day and the others as rest days?

tell me more about how things are

Sister, you are NOT alone. I am so exhausted and cranky, I work pt and ahve an 8mo old and a 8 year old. I tried putting my dd into the pack n play at the foot of the bed last night. She kicks and rolls in her sleep and neither my dh and I are getting any sleep. However, when I moved her out of the bed, my dh tells me he doesn't mind her being with us. He's not the one nursing her at night and I try to let him get as much sleep as possible. He works much longer hours and has a long commute. I bought the "No Cry Sleep Solution" book this weekend.
I feel so unfair to my oldest dd who doesn't get as much of my time because I am cranky and tired from not sleeping and I don't have alot of patience.
I don't remember being this way with her but I was a lot younger then....lol.
I'd still do it a hundred times over. She's so darn cute!
