Don't know if I can do this all again

Newborn son slept well for first couple of days but now he cries all the time from gas pain. He doesn't sleep for more than about an hour at a time which I means I don't sleep for more than about 40 mins by the time I've bfed him, burped him
and settled him to sleep. Our first son was exactly the same so I know how hard this is going to be: am currently sitting here crying in time with my baby, despairing at another four months of no sleep, exhaustion, feeling like the worlds most useless mum and frayed nerves - plus a toddler on top. I know I will get through it because I have before but at the moment it feels insurmountable.
Sorry that this is just an emotional wallow and not actually asking for any advice, sometimes I think you just need to put things out into the world to make them seem a bit more manageable.

We added a bottle last night. DH gave it at 10pm (I'd gone to bed at 9!) and DS2 didn't wake to eat til 2am so I got nearly 5 hours sleep - amazing!
But during the day it's still every hour and a half to two hours... DS2 now feeds for 10mins then falls asleep and can not be woken to continue feeding for about 20mins then he'll feed for 20 mins and fall asleep again. A timetable which doesn't leave me time for much else Hmm
