Sleep!

Please ladies I need help!

So all I’ve read is to put your baby down drowsy but awake to get them to sleep. Man, my kids are not those kind of babies. They need rocking and walking and parental acrobats.

My son is only 5 weeks old but he is BIG. Physically I cannot do it anymore. He also catnaps so he naps like 6 times a day. When I put him down he wakes up after 5/10 mins. This is so stressful as I have a toddler who is basically neglected right now. I need help on how exactly you get them to sleep on their own. I HATE hearing my kids cry but right now both are screaming most of the time. I rocked my daughter til she was 13months and the thought of that actually gives me anxiety.

Please share your experience HONESTLY like what you did how much they cried etc.

Please don’t tell me he needs his mama and I must just hold him and rock him all day. My daughter doesn’t understand that so don’t bother

EDIT thank you all for responding. I know this post is quite whiny but that’s where I’m at right now. Today my husband took my daughter out because for once he wasn’t working (works 7days a week) and I’m so happy for her 😍 also got to chill with little man guilt free💙
