A million and a half children
Life is pretty chaotic most of the time. We have 3 kids 6 and under and are expecting baby number 4 in about 11 weeks or so. Up until this point everything has been manageable. I love my kids they bring so much happiness and joy to our lives so I want to make it clear that im not complaining, I'm looking for advice. Our youngest is 22 months old and it seems like she's going through a faze (so I hope) or regressing. She started climbing out of her crib about two weeks ago even though it's on the lowest setting. And there is no way to keep her in. We've tried taking her back and tucking her in multiple times, staying and comforting her until she's asleep etc. Nothing is working she just keeps crying and saying she's scared. We've tried to get her to sleep in her older siblings rooms on their bottom bunk, the only thing that calms her down is letting her sleep in our bed. If we don't let her sleep in our bed she'll literally cry for hours and hours. I am so tired I haven't slept well bc of this for weeks. And on top of it she's been extremely clingy during the day, Cries if I leave the room and doesn't want me to do anything except give her all of my undevided attention. She's even been like this with her dad. I've been trying to do my best and give her the attention she's demanding bc I feel like she obviously needs it. She is usually not like this. She's normally a very happy, easy going she has a little attitude but not like this. Shes so easy that she potty trained herself about a month ago, she basically just decided she didn't want to wear diapers anymore and started using big brothers potty. She's not sick, she previously had an ear infection but she was cleared from that, and the dr said her nose and throat look good too. She hasn't had any other symptoms besides being cranky and very very clingy. Idk what to do I'm at a loss. I'm exhausted and feel over extended. I'm also worried about how she's going to adjust to being a big sister. I'm planning on breastfeeding and I feel like its going to take lot of time away from her along with it being a lot of work for me now too. Plus I'
Have two other kiddos to make sure they're good and happy. Ugh. I am super overwhelmed. I hope this post make sense literally typing it after only sleeping for 3 hours last night. 😫 Has anyone been through something similar or have suggestions on what to do?
