I'm going CRAZY!!!

[~*Julie*~]

I need some help here. My 14 month old daughter, as many of you know, has always been a terrible sleeper. Well, I just had a baby 5 weeks ago and her bad sleep pattern continues. The new thing now, that is driving me to the edge of insanity, is that she cries ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT. And not just wimpering whining, I mean full blown screaming like someone is killingher. She'll just walk around the house screaming. I thought it was her teeth, so I gave her ambesol and pain relever, but that didn'thelp at all. She still just walks around and screams and cries. I thought maybe she was thirsty or hungry or tired, NOTHING WORKS!!! I feel like I am going crazy! My son thinks shes jealous of the new baby, but this screaming behavior just started this week. AND she loves the baby, kisses her and wants to hold her and pushes her swing for her. I need some advice what to do here. Has anyone ever went thru this? Maybe I'm missing something. Why does she keep crying? My newborn cries less and sleeps better than my 14 month old. Somebody please help me!!

I can't remember mine doing that. Have you asked your peditrician about it they can be realy helpful sometimes. I know about the pressure and the stress that it puts on you having to deal with all of that . I hope it gets better for you Julie.

i think maybe your son is right.. she might kiss her and love her to bits but do remember before she came along it was your 14 month old who had all the attention ... i think its a phase... and im about to go through it too.. it happend to everyone just try to spend some 1 on 1 time with her ... like read a book or something i think she does this to get attention .. i really dont know what else to do
