Is there anyone here who has experience of co-ordinating nighttime with a baby and a three year old? We've not spent a night in our own bed as when baby cries our three year old also wakes and doesn't go back off to sleep.
It is a huge change and she needs time to adjust but I am despairing. At the minute DH is sleeping downstairs with baby as I'm recovering from C-section, he says it's a means to an end and at least our three year old won't be disturbed as much but I'd rather us be together in one room not separated like this.
Last time we tried to sleep in the same room it took four hours and even then DH ended up going downstairs with baby. I can feel my anxiety worsening due to this so any advice would be appreciated.
