My LOs are really bad sleepers and I am on my knees with fatigue. Been with us 3 months, oldest had nightmares, youngest (2.5) still has bottle at night and wakes constantly, thus waking the oldest or triggering more nightmares. Youngest also having night terrors.
(Bottle is essential as he was not really weaned when he arrived and will not drink in the day (unless bottle) - so we have stopped daytime bottles and gettng him to drink from straw, but making slow progress. Nighttime bottle is as much about hydration as comfort/food.)
I am, on average, up 4 times a night with them. Last night was 7 times. I am cream crackered and its affecting my ability to parent effectively.
How do I break the cycle?
