DS is 19 months. Never a great sleeper, took months (and I mean months) to get him into a good sleep/nap routine. It was going well, but it's gone completely to pot recently.
It had been nap from 1-3pm then sleep from 7-6.45ish. I thought we were doing so well, especially as DC2 is due next month.
Now, he's waking any time between 5/5.30. Won't nap, screaming, and generally being extremely difficult.
I can't cope. I have no energy, I'll shortly have a newborn to deal with and I can't cope with the lack of sleep now, never mind then.
I am not a good mother with this lack of sleep and I am not a good mother when he acts like this.
He has been upstairs since 1pm and hadn't slept. I am REFUSING to 'help' him. I'm not holding him or rocking him or patting him. I've been doing that since he was 3 weeks old. I can't do it anymore.
I am so close to the edge. I am worried for my own reactions when I'm like this (of course I would never harm him, I just can't control my temper rationally and can shout).
I need help. I need sleep. I need advice please!!
