DS1 is 3 and DS2 is two weeks. I feel like a zombie already. DS has never been a good sleeper and quite frequently wakes for hours during the night (last night was 3 hours) DS2 is obviously a normal newborn waking every few hours for a feed but the combination of the two is killing me!!
DH is on paternity leave and has been going in to DS1 but it's not going well as he is used to me settling him. We are managing by taking turns to nap during the day but wtf are we going to do when DH goes back to work on Monday?!
We live in a flat so no spare room and sleeping in the living room isn't much quieter.
How do other people manage this? Should we be sleeping in shifts or something?! Help!
