I noticed that it started getting better around 2 months - she was easier to settle, maybe it was because we figured out she had silent reflux so put her on drops and she was having chiro - but whatever, it worked wonders, and is a baby that you can just put in the cot and she'll put herself to sleep (which I never thought would ever happen!)

My toddler is getting more teeth - so is very cranky, clingy and throwing lots of tantrums - so I totally understand and empathise where you are at... its sooo difficult...

But you've only been learning this new job of yours for such a short period of time.. hang in there honey - the bad days don't happen as often - and it WILL get better.

In the meantime - just try and make sure everyone survives the day (even if you have to let the toddler watch heaps of tv!!! It is a coping mechanism for us worn out mums)

I do remember reading DS a book and having DD in the basinnette and rocking her to sleep at the same time.... and that worked a few times, so that might be an idea? Or I put her in the Ergo and just take DS outside and let him ride his bike, play with the dogs etc... just getting out in the fresh air does wonders.

you are doing a great job - even if you don't think you are. Its not easy!!
