We have a 2.5yr old and 10 month old. 2.5yr old sleeps fine 7.30ish until 6.30ish. Occasionally will wake up once in the night for a wee/cuddle/etc but will go back to bed happily after a few minutes. She does this probably 2/3 times a week, the rest of the week she will sleep through.
DS god love him has never been much of a sleeper, he will now wake up for an hour at least once, usually twice a night. Around 12 and 3/4. He still has formula in the night but it doesn’t settle him to sleep, he often cries out in between these times too for his dummy (maybe 2-4 times a night).
DH and I both work full time. I work shifts meaning I’m often with the kids until 1pm when they go to nursery and then working from 3pm until 1am, then have a few hours broken sleep until 6.30 ish.
We are on our knees with exhaustion. We often cosleep with DS if he is having a bad night in the spare room but neither of us sleep well with that arrangement.
DH does 4 nights a week with DS and then I do the other 3, and usually work 2 evenings.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. I know it won’t be forever but we are really struggling at the moment. GPs not an option as no family nearby, although they will help when they can if given notice.
