DD is 1 and has ARFID. She lives off a few spoons of yogurt/custard each day and breastfeeds to make up for it. She is still feeding more or less like a newborn. Not to mention she also refuses to drink most of the time also
DS is 3 eats fine, happy, confident etc
my only problem….
DD does not stop whinging. I’m not over exaggerating when I say she hurls the house down screaming/crying when I am further than a 2ft proximity away from her.
DS behaviour is very challenging - I expect this is all normal for a kid his age but crikey…. It’s hard. he hits his sister, screams, shouts in my face, rules the house. He is also the weight of Tyson Fury, I can no longer pick him up and move him away from a situation
DD doesn’t sleep. She’s waking every couple of hours. Eventually I bring her into my room from sheer exhaustion
DS doesn’t sleep either. I think he gets night terrors. He screams and cries in his sleep
i haven’t been away from DD her whole life. Not a single night or day away because she will only accept breastfeeding. I am exhausted. The newborn stage is exhausting but I have adapted to the tiredness somehow
I’m constantly overstimulated from being touched all day and having my breasts pulled in every direction CONSTANTLY
I need a BREAK
Please someone offer some words of kindness. Tell me this will get better. I’m driving myself to insanity
DH is helpful but can’t BF so can’t take her anywhere and he obviously works so I deal with the kids majority of the time. DD is also under a children’s hospital - I may ask them about all things sleep related
