Losing My Sanity
If I don't get a handle on this I'm going to lose my mind. Keegan (1 next week) used to sleep through the night perfectly. We bring Troy home, she wakes up 2-3 times. Its not Troy's fault Shea waking up. He doesn't cry or fuss to wake her up. Its like she "senses" I'm up with him. Everytime I'm in the middle of feeding him in the middle of the night, here Keegan starts in crying. She uaed to be able to find her foof and go back to sleep on her own. Not anymore. She just whines until I go get her. So then Im rocking her with Troy in his bassinet beside us. He starts whining because he didn't get to finish eating before I had to go get her.. so he's whiny, keeping Keegan up even longer. I'd be perfectly fine with them getting up at different times. I could quickly get them back to sleep if it were just one of them.. but both at the same time is a 2 hr process. I was sure in thr beginning teething getting a new tooth was why she was waking up, but its been 10 days now of her waking up (and I give her teething medicine before bed).
Any suggestions/tips/advice? Also, Wesley works nights (9p-7a) so I'm home alone with them at night.
@wilsomom I know (well think I know) you have multiple small children.. ever run into this problem?

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, I'M NOT TRYING TO YELL, LOL, MY PHONE IS STUPID AND GETS STUCK IN CAPS SOMETIMES.
@salasmommy You'll be ok if they get up at different times. It'd be much easier, you just wouldn't sleep much. But its NO fun when they're both up.
Personally, I wouldn't start feeding him in there because then she'll def wake up plus that could be the beginning of a bad habit.
Some may think it's mean but after lights out everything is strictly business for me. No singing, no playing, no talking, no lights... just feedings & diaper changes ...that's it. Not even that once they start sleeping through the night..maybe a pacifier if they're lucky..lol.
Good luck mama, you'll get the in swing of things soon!
