[quote=Anonymous]IMHO people are being really hard on the OP. The newborn time is really hard - not just the sleep part but even more so the older siblings adjusting. Normally, you would do everything to keep their routines intact as much as possible, and this situation has completely upended their world - in addition to the new sibling and their mom’s exhaustion. Give her a break! The only thing I wanted to do when I brought my newborn home with older kids in the house was get them to school so I could snuggle my newborn and let him nap without being woken up a few minutes later by noise from my other kids.

My youngest is 11 months. I have been enjoying the time home with my kids, but would not have AT ALL if this had happened a year ago. It got better for us around 6-8 weeks when the baby started having a predictable bedtime.

OP, you can do this and I’m rooting for you. It sucks but you’ll get through - do whatever you need to do and let go of whatever you need to let go of to make it through. [/quote]
