Oh, the action around here!
well it doesn't get any easier maybe you should let your husband sleep with your toddler for a while so he can get used to his bed
P.S. I am a big fan of "white noise"....a fan, humidifier, or CD of lullabys of birds and oceans also works quite well to block out the sounds of a new infant and lets everyone sleep better.
I have three kids, so I do consider myself somewhat of an expert. Ha, Ha....mine are 8,4, and two. I had this issue with my eight year old when his sister was going to come....My husband had to sleep on his floor until he fell asleep...this eventual…
One of the things that I did was I let my son fall asleep in my bed. That way, when I came to bed, he was already asleep and I could just put him in his own bed. He'd wake up in his own bed and eventually he just stayed in his own bed.
Whatever you…
My daughter had a similar issue after my son was born. She would refuse to go to bed in regards to constantly coming downstairs all hours of the night. I eventually turned to putting a gate at her door. If she wakes up, she plays some, but she alway…
Sorry in back forgot something. Before my new baby came i alsoo got my son ready by giving him a baby doll, yes a boy a doll he didnt carry it around or anything but i put it in the new crib/craddle and told him this is where your brother/sister wil…
Hi Terri back I think hes afraid your going to leave him. Have you had the talk with him about what to expect when you go in to have the baby? I think he needs lots of reassurance. There are alot of books out for kids on what to expect on having a n…
Hi Lisa:
As a suggestion, reassure him daily that he is loved and valued. You can do this with strong/loving words, body language (hugs, holding hands, Mommy & Me/Daddy & Me time) and giving him assignments to help out with baby's arrival (i.e. hel…
Help! I am expecting my second boy at the end of July. My toddler 2 yr old has started (about a week or so ago) not sleeping through the night. We have tried everything: putting him to bed later, putting him in timeout, letting him cry it out, leavi…
I actually have a air purifier in his room and that normally works fine up until a few weeks ago. It started with him not wanting his door closed and having us stand by the door until he fell asleep. Then he started waking up earlier and earlier in…

- A little about yourself...
- This is my 3rd year as a stay-at-home mom. I am expecting my 2nd boy at the end of July (3 days before my 30th Birthday). I recently graduated from OLLUSA with a Master's in Curriculum & Instruction and am currently employed as the Manager of Operations and Marketing for the SA div. of Computer Explorers. Before this, I taught 7th grade Math and PreAlgebra in Somerset ISD. As I approach my due date, I wonder how does any stay-at-home working mom have time to scrapbook or pleasure read? =) I desperately want to get caught up with scrapbooking!

- Hi lisa! I want to start by saying ,just hang in there. I also went through that ,I had my 4th child on January 17 2006. Then i found out i was pregnant with my 5th. when my daughter turned 7 mths. She was good .she slept no problem but as soon as the baby was coming she did the same thing. so what i did was i would get up early with them about 5:30 ,when my husband left to work feed ,them change them and go out for a stroll around the park ,come home give them both a bottle and placed them in there crib at about 9 stay in the room with them ,I would turn everything off. I would just lay there and sure enough they would fall to sleep. After there nap they get up one at a time but, it gave me a break. because the baby would get up i'd feed him change him ,by that time my missy would get up and i'd do the same. Then once again i would go out with them to pick up the kids from school , and go shopping for dinner. Once again feed them , bath them ,make sure everyone settle and by 7:30 i'd take them both upstairs and put them in there cribs and lay in my bed with light out ,and they would fall asleep. Now the only thing that makes this easy for me is because I have there cribs in my bedroom but, i get to sleep and so does my husband. I have to thank god that they remained on that schedule until now. So i think you should do whats right for you. you have to make things easier for yourself and your husband. Its hard ,but worth the sacrifice. Believe me I know i have 5 So Lisa good luck on what ever you decide to do and congradulation to you and yor husband. I wish you well..
