DS2 is 8mts old. wakes up every night at different times. not hungry. just wants to be jiggled back to sleep.
I've tried pick up, put down , wake to sleep, cc (cry it out) for about 40mins and nothing works.
i am knackered. DS1 is 2 next month and doens't sleep in the day (DS2 has 2 naps) so I am on my feet entertaining a toddler all day, then up in the nite too.
i feel irritated and a bit angry at DS2. I KNOW it's not his fault. He's started yelling during the day, really lous, ear piercing screams whenever he is not being picked up or entertained by me. It's doing my head in. it's 24/7 and i'm so tired.
i don't know what to do. i'm starting to resent him adn feel that he is manipulating me.
DH has an hour commute to work and works with power tools but gets up friday- sunday with him. DH leaves@6am and is back @6pm during the week.
Even when DH gets up, i have to wake his as he (genuinly) doens't hear the baby. which means that every night i'm woken by a screaming banshee in the next room.
i'm knackered, DS1 has bad days wheere he has been woken in the nite too. It's making me irritable and not a nice mummy.
Anm i going crazy? am i a terrible person?
