How did you survive 2 under 2 if your oldest was a tough sleeper?
I’m currently pregnant with #2 and my first will be 21 months when baby will be born later this year. I’m starting to freak out a bit because he still wakes up multiple times a night. Currently nearly 18 months.
I am seriously terrified of having a newborn and a toddler who wake up multiple times a night and I’m worried it will mean I won’t sleep at all for months.
My sleep has already been destroyed with my first, waking up every two hours or less for the first year of his life. I exclusively breastfed and pumped my milk. Now he takes it in a bottle (also trying to wean that ugh).
I need advice on how to navigate this. Obviously I don’t want to sleep train, but we cosleep for the majority of the night. He starts off in his crib and I bring him in bed at his first wake up.
I would love to get him to sleep in his crib but I’m also not hopeful to achieve that before birth. I was thinking of converting his crib into a floor bed or something so my husband can sleep with him once the baby is born.
Any advice appreciated. From a stressed out mama 🥺
