I am feeling at my wits end after 3 nights with no sleep & the days arent much better either! I have a teething DS1 who is 12 months old & a DD who is 3 weeks old. I am breastfeeding them both & DH is away mon- friday I dont have any family about.
Trying to arrange them both for a feed at the same time is hard with just one pair of hands & a fretful teething 1 yr old who just wriggles everywhere. However my DD has also decided she wants feeding at my Ds bath, bed mealtimes.
I hate to have either of them crying but sometimes just dont know who to go to 1st. Its bad a night at the mo as DS is up with his teeth but I can hear DD crying in my bedroom while I am nursing him. Then when I leave him to nurse her he startes crying a few minutes later.
At the moment I feel like I am not meeting either of their needs & end up crying myself as I feel like an awful mum.
Has anyone got any pointers as to who I should see to 1st or what I can do to make it easier. I have just had a sling arrive so am going to try & use that on DD.
