Our DS is 3months old and is EBF. We also have a very lively and high maintenance DD who is 2yo. Our day is extremely hectic and we struggle to have a routine. Most mornings after breakfast consist of my DD having a nap, while I feed our DS and then hopefully he has a nap. He doesn't always though and then it is time for my DD to get up, have lunch and go to creche, I have to take both of them in the car. In the afternoons DS and I are at home on our own and he is able to get about an hour sleep. But he never lets me out of the room, I need to be with him all of the time.
Then evenings are extremely difficult. I feed my DD at 6pm. My DH gets home around 7pm. He bathes my DD and every other day he does my DS. Then DD goes to bed. During this time I am trying to prepare dinner. Then we try to eat but DS always cries and it means one of us holds him while the other eats.
Then we put DS in his bedclothes and bag and BF him until he sleeps on my bed. Then I come in at about 10pm and give him a feed and move him in his crib. He sleeps there until about 1am then the fun starts. I BF him but as he won't sleep in his crib then I just let him sleep with me on the bed. I sleep in a king size bed on my own, DH sleeps in another room as it is easier for him as he works.
DS wakes about 6 times per night for a feed which I do then go back to sleep. I sleep on the edge of the bed, with the duvet wrapped around me from the waist down, I am paranoid about the covers being anywhere near my DS.
Every day I am getting more knackered. I am desperate to change this but don't know where to start! I know I am doing all the wrong things but with our DD as well it is so difficult, DS hardly sleeps when DD is here as she wakes him!
