[quote=Anonymous]Ugh I have done this 3 times - each time more difficult because you have other kids to take care of at the same time so no real napping going on during the day. Its brutal. But you just power through and survive. The first 6 weeks are the worst (IMO). Thankfully my kids started sleeping longer stretches by 3 months or so and I was able to get decent sleep with maybe 1 wake up to feed. If that didn't happen I would have done cry it out by 4 months. DH never helped at night. He is a horrible sleeper when he gets woken up and can't get back to sleep. He routinely works 10-12 hours a day and needed his sleep. So while I was on maternity leave I just dealt with the kids. Thankfully once I went back to work the kids were somewhat sleeping through the night so it wasn't insane.[/quote]
