We had DD two years ago, and two years later, we still don't have our evenings to ourselves. We've just about weaned her off breastfeeding to sleep, but she now requires one of us to sit with her until she's asleep.
The falling asleep process can take a long time. A really long time. I try to sneak out when I think she's asleep, but often I misjudge (and apparently I clomp when I walk - excuse me for being pregnant and a bit elephantine, husband) and she jerks awake and wails like a banshee. Then we start all over. We've tried letting her cry but she has stamina and it isn't very nice.
Anyone else in these shoes? I'd really like to get this right before we have our second in the summer! 🆘
