[quote=Anonymous]Totally normal.  I found that life seemed to get a little easier when each of my babies turned one (my youngest is nearly two now).

Between breastfeeding and illnesses and night wake ups and the emotions associated with leaving your baby--it's just a very challenging time.

I agree with a PP to consider sleep training (Ferber), and also I don't know if you're pumping, but supplementing and cutting back on pumping can be a relief as well.

Simple meals, go to bed early.  Some times I have ended up in bed as soon as my children are, like, 8 pm.  Especially if you feel like an illness is coming on.

Once your baby starts walking and talking and you get down to one long afternoon nap--I found it just all comes together better then.  Do fun activities in the morning, do chores or something for yourself during nap time, another round at the playground, early dinner and bed time, then another window of time in which you can do something.

Hang in there until then.[/quote]
