Help a momma out
Show your support
@Miriam we are trying to! Whenever she cries and I’m helping with something like “okay let me help your brother for one second, he needs momma right now”. Not because the baby understands me but so he can see he isn’t the only one having to wait for attention while I take care of her. I’m making it a point to tell him I’m so thankful for him and how special he is, so he doesn’t feel less than. And yes it’s exhausting! When she cries he finds something to cry about which tends to short circuit my brain lol
@Tabitha ugh. I hear that. Other things: having older sibling help with the younger one in special ways. Doesn't help at night but other times sometimes. Being sisters blankie or pick out a stuffed animal for her to cuddle during story time. Good luck! I wish I had the answers but don't...
We have a 2.5 year old who is waking in the night screaming. We are trying to make sure he gets special time after his sister goes to sleep and talk about it being time for just us. Also, just trying to have patience and love ready at hand. It's so hard and I'm so tired. But it will get better.
