Well I put Jake down abit earlier today at the same time as Ty went down and they were both asleep within 5 minutes so yay! I also have dvds from the store and the library so will put one on for Jake when Ty goes down for his next nap later this afternoon so I can atleast put my feet up and relax!!
Wish I could sleep now but since I've been unwell this week I've really neglected the housework and its gotten rather desperate still atleast I know I can get them down together if I'm organised!!!]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 12:07:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1011414&title=tired-much#1011414 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1010312&title=tired-much#1010312 Author: Kellz

Yep it sure is hard! Im high risk for PND again too, and sleep deprivation is a huge trigger for me. Im taking things much easier and being kinder on myself than when ISla was little. If the houseworks not done too bad, lol! I also have lots of family support from my parents this time which is awesome.
I only got a 20 min power nap this afternoon but it made all the difference, my eyes were falling out of my head before that! I have napped on the couch while Isla watching dvd when desperate, the sleep isnt as deep or as good, but better than nothing!]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:19:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1010312&title=tired-much#1010312 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1010281&title=tired-much#1010281 Author: emz

I've always co-ordinated the afternoon sleep, so just holding the older one off having a nap until the younger one is ready. It IS possible - but it did take a few months for Ava to sleep at all, let alone get her into a routine lol

Unfortunately I don't nap as I'm at work but I figure on the weekends we might want to get something done in that time (which is only an hour - if DS sleeps any longer he won't go to bed at night).]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:53:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1010281&title=tired-much#1010281 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1010224&title=tired-much#1010224 Author: Nutella

Jake has a 1&1/2 - 2hr nap every afternoon but I haven't been able to coordinate them napping together. He is in daycare 2 full days a week (today being one of them) but its a 45 minute round trip there and back so an hour and a half driving 2 days a week, plus groceries since I'm in town then when we get home Ty sometimes just won't sleep well I finally got him to sleep at 12.45 today, got to sleep myself at 1.20 then he woke up crying at 1.50, had a cuddle and crashed again but hes due for another feed at 3 so not really worth me tryna get to sleep again. It sucks coz he had a really unsettled night last night and was up every 2-3 hrs wanting a feed (he refuses a bottle so its all on me) so I could really do with the zzzz's he sleeps really well when Jakes home but then Jake wants to play with me when Tys napping y'know.

I only have one child too, so this is probably easier said than done, but a lot of people I know have compulsory 'rest' time just after lunch. We also have this rule at our family bach and no matter how old the kids are, everyone has to have a rest after lunch. This usually results in the adults falling asleep on the couch and the kids watching a DVD. ]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 14:12:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009616&title=tired-much#1009616 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009565&title=tired-much#1009565 Author: Kellz

Yep i get a nap when baby sleeps on the days Isla is in daycare.
I am yet to co-ordinate them both to have a sleep at the same time, so I can too! Have been very tempted to sleep and leave Isla watching tv when she wont have a nap and Im soooo tired, but havent.]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:47:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009565&title=tired-much#1009565 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009546&title=tired-much#1009546 Author: kebakat

Daycare/kindy time if they don't have a sleep is a guess]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:30:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009546&title=tired-much#1009546 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009528&title=tired-much#1009528 Author: Henna79

I only have 1 but do have a suggestion    Would your oldest cuddle up on couch or in bed with you and watch a movie or tv? I always though this would be a great way to have some rest for both while little one is sleeping. Hope you get to nap soon]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:21:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009528&title=tired-much#1009528 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009515&title=tired-much#1009515 Author: Babe

I'm shattered!
How did you mums with 2 or more kiddies get some rest when your second/third/etc come along?
How'd you work around your older kid/s and the baby and actually get some sleep (or are you looking at this laughing hysterically at my hopes of catching a nap during the day ) ??]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:11:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33143&PID=1009515&title=tired-much#1009515
