Re: i need help from mammas with 2+ kids
We eased Lydia into bedtime w/ Daddy. He started supervising bathtime and reading to her, then I would go nurse her to sleep. (And I get it, b/c DH was deployed her first year, so I was THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE PERSON TO FALL ASLEEP WITH for a long time. )

Re: i need help from mammas with 2+ kids
btdt very recently
so, from our experience: it did no good trying to get the 2 yo down earier/later/nap/no nap. she was a terror all the same it was a phase, it's over, we just had to survive it. it had everything to do with *my* sleep and overall well-being. i used melatonin to get sufficient sleep. if you don't know much about it, do a search here, i and other users posted extensively about it in Natural Health do you have symptoms of adrenal fatigue? my fav. website source for info about it is drlam.com if so, consider treatment. now is the time. leaving AdFa untreated will affect the unborn baby. even under the best of circumstances it's hard hang in there.

Re: i need help from mammas with 2+ kids
A basic routine and an early bedtime really helped when we stopped having Elliot nap (he was around 2). We found even a 30 minute nap meant he was up until 10pm.
Sounds like you need a break too! Is there someone who can let you have an afternoon to yourself to relax? |

Got it. I didn't realize she nurses to sleep when I suggested that.
