[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is the issue? You're not getting anything done? You're in physical discomfort from holding him? [/quote]

OP here. Both. I can't get anything done and I'm always in pain at the end of the day. [/quote]

Re getting things done I suggest throwing a little money at the problem. Your husband is a doctor. Take a little of that doctor money and make your life easier. Not joking. Re pain. Please try a carrier. Babies love to be all snuggly. It also sounds like maybe you need a break from the baby. A part time baby nurse can help you spend some time with the toddler and recharge. I mean this in earnest and without snark: throw some money at the problem.[/quote]

Not all babies likes being in a carrier and all “ snuggly”. Why would OP hire help during a pandemic when she has a newborn? That’s a bad idea. [/quote]

And what's your suggestion? She doesn't have to hire help for the baby, she can hire cleaners or a food delivery or laundry service to complete some of the things she's too busy holding a baby to do. [/quote]

Why would she hire cleaners to be in the house when it's a pandemic? That isn't smart.[/quote]

Sigh. Even Fauci has his cleaners back. You can google an interview with him to see how he does it. Anyway. We’re offering better solutions to OP than letting her 8 week old that weighs what 9 pounds scream himself to exhaustion. He’s not an orphan. He has a doctor dad. Who knows what mom does. She doesn’t seem that bright or emphatic.  But yeah. We’re offering solutions. I’ actually convinced now OP must be a troll. No one talks about their kids with such detachment. Unless they maybe need some therapy which is possible. Op if you are a real mom of an 8 week old and a 3 year old please get some help. You are cold as ice. [/quote]

OP here. My husband doesn't feel comfortable having a cleaning lady here. He helps as much as he can. My 3 year old is babysat by our neighbor who has a son the same age.

I love my children. I don't have PPD. I'm very loving and comforting to my children. It's very different and emotions can't come across on text. I believe sleep training will be the best choice for my family. He will cry less in the week of sleep training, than he will if I'm holding him all day. Him being overtired and crying all of the time with naps isn't good for him.

My husband is on board. He is the one who suggested we try it after our friends ( husband is also an MD) sleep trained their child at 8 weeks old. Most of my friends who have sleep trained at 4 months or earlier all have happy, well adjusted kids. Baby was getting sleep and the mom was more happy and had energy to do other things. [/quote]

OP here. I fail to see how any of this is your business. I asked advice for those who have sleep trained at this age, not for you to tell me why I shouldn't. [/quote]
