Could you get a double bed for you and the kids and put it into your DS2's room? Then you and the kids could sleep in there and your Dh could sleep in your bed. Ideally, I would be having a serious talk to your hubby and getting him to help out and sleep with the bigger kids and you can deal with baby. At least some of the time. He's part of the equation too. It's not fair for you to suffer all the time andhe gets to slack off.
You poor thing! I have 1 bad sleeper and that it nearly killing me I don't know how you're doing it, I guess you do what you've gotta do. I would be seriously p***** with the lack of support from your DH. I sleep in DS's room. We have 2 single foam mattresses on the floor, so through the day I can put them on top of each other and it looks like a normal bed (that's if I can be bothered) Could you do something similar? 2 singles are bigger than a queen so there would be quite a bit of room for 3 or 4 if needed. Being mattresses on the floor there isn't far to fall either. DS is such a restless sleeper he ends up all over the place, so I don't have to constantly worried about him falling out. DS won't settle for DP so there's no point him trying any more because if you don't settle him quickly he'll be up for ages at each waking. But if he could help he would. The boob is the only way most of the time.
We have just started taking food additives out of his diet and have seen an improvement. It took about a week but his waking have now gone from between 5-8 or more on bad nights. To a fairly steady 2-4.
I hope you get some sleep soon
Huge hugs hun. You have persevered amazingly! But based on what you're saying, you just can't go on like this. Not sure what state you're in so not sure what sleep schools there are available to you, but you need to visit your GP or MCHN and let them know what's happening. If they don't listen then keep visiting new ones until you find one who does. And you need a really good multivitamin to address some of your own needs. Life doesn't have to be this hard - and it WILL get easier for you hun.
