my anxiety and DD2's lack of sleep

[Janie]

Oh, I've done that so many times Ginger! Even if it didn't work (which was rare) just getting out of the house for a bit helped.

Love your ideas too Marcellus, we pretty much did the same. Go with what works I say! Or what works best anyway

Hun, I hope knowing you're not alone helps in some small way. I had many many anxious moments over DS's sleep. The whole time he was napping I would be anxious, just waiting for him to wake up. I could only relax after a certain amount of time, what I thought was 'enough' sleep.

Oh gosh I do the exact same thing. Even yesterday when DD started crying after only 15mins of sleep (her first day sleep) I was all jittery and anxious.

take 3 at replying here!!

thanks so much my lovely ladies this anxiety stuff is tough to deal with, though its comforting to know others understand, so thanks for all your lovely suggestions! nearly everything you've all written i could have written myself, i always said taht i wouldnt get stressed this time re sleep but she is having nowhere near as much sleep as DD1. i might get some rescue remedy, been thinking about it for a while and its time to think of muself for once!
