Ok so DS2 is now almost 10 weeks old, DS1 is almost 2 1/2. My problem is that that bubs won't sleep past that first sleep cycle without me having to go in and resettle him during the day. Trouble is that it takes me sometimes up to an hour of patting/rocking/singing/standing on my head before he gets back to sleep. In the mean time my poor toddler is left on he's own in front of the TV for long periods of time which I really am not comfortable with. At first i figured it would only be a couple of days until bubs got the hang of sleep and then I wouldn't have to worry about resettling all the time and I'd be able to give DS1 the attention he needs but bubs is just not willing to co-operate!
What did/do others do in this situation? DS1 has never been much of a TV watcher up until now (he would watch in the night garden and that was it) but I'm worried I am now creating a TV addict - he even passed me the remote this morning, pointed at the TV and said "remote on?"!!
