What everyone else has said! I'm 6 weeks in, had feeding issues for the 1st 3 weeks or so, couldn't stop crying, then DH had to go back to the UK for his mum's funeral when DS2 was 4 weeks, and so I've been just totally utterly exhausted, physically & mentally. But, and I hope I'm not jinxing myself here, it does seem to be getting easier, DS2 is starting to become a litle more predictable, and is having some longer sleeps. He sometimes has to cry a whole lot more that DS1 ever had to, but only because I'm doing things for/with DS1 usually, which I don't like (DS2 crying, that is) , but I'm hoping that this too will even out over the next few weeks. Frozen dinners, a sling, and a fair bit of co-sleeping have been my saviours, and I'm turning a blind eye to the housework, except for the bare minimum. I also keep reminding myself that as far as DS1 is concerned, it's only going to be for a few weeks, in the grand scheme of a lifetime, so I'm trying not to stress too much about the fact that it sometimes feels like I'm being very unfair to him, in terms of time & attention. I am trying to make sure that I maintain our bedtime routine together, so that he gets at least something each day that's just about him. And like the others have said, accept any & all offers of help.
