How do you do it? I am beyond exhausted. I'm awake most nights from 3am, some nights from 12/1. Ds2 has reflux and often can't be left to.lay down. During the day its not too bad as I use a carrier to keep him upright, and bouncy chair which props him up too, or carpet when going out. After a day.of being mostly upright he settles in the evening OK. Husband settles him and gives a bottle.is needed (bf rest of time) while I put ds1 to.bed. Once I've cooked and eaten and had a wash, it's often 9/10 pm. I might sit for half an hour but am.often in bed 9/10 and can't get it any earlier try as I might. Unless I don't eat.
Ds1 sleeps.through mostly and husband has him if ds2 wakes @12/1 feeds, and has to be held up for at least 30 minutes, wakes again @3 and I often can't get him.back down as I tonight. He's feeding again now but when I put him down at 4am ish, he was very uncomfortable. He groans as nd grunts, writes around, coughs, chokes, is sick, gasps etc. So obviously I can't just leave him and couldn't sleep though it if I did. He's on ranitidine but I think he needs the dosage upping, seeing paediatrician Thursday.
Cant nap in the day as I have both ds to look after. Driving home last night I was incredibly tired after a particularly bad night. Sitting here now struggling to stay awake but trying to keep ds upright.
I don't know what I'm asking really.
