desperatly need some sleep

My 5 month old doesnt sleep. he is up every half hour at night and barely sleeps during the day. All he does is fuss anymore and hes teething so bad but i dont know what else i can do for him at night i give him tylenol and some orajel right before he goes to bed nothing helps him. I have been having such bad anxiety attacks lately that i cant breathe very good. Their father said he couldnt take them this weekend cause he had some stuff to do which is complete bullsmurf he has only took them for one day in the last almost 7 weeks. I do it by myself day and night. I have been fedding my 2 year old hot dogs and chicken nuggets the last few days cause my 5 month old wont let me put him down at all. I just dont know what else i can do and i could really use some sleep and my house really needs to be cleaned. just needed to vent

Baltic amber teething necklaces. They're supposed to really help with pain. A lot of mamas on here use them. If u use eBay I have a lady on there that was suggested to me by a few BG mamas.

I was just thinking maybe you could get some more sleep if he would snuggle up and sleep with you   It's hard to be tired. I'm So sorry mama.

ill look into the teething ring ill try anything at this point. if i just had my 5 month old it wouldnt be so bad but i have my 2 yr old as well and i have to make sure hes taken care of as well. i feel like im depriving him cause i have to focus all my attention on my lo. its so hard having 2 so close together i cant wait until they get a little older.

*hugs* I know it's hard mama   keep your chin up. You can do it. Like you said it'll be better when they're older.

Get one of those snuggli carriers and maybe that will help with cleaning and making food! Not sure how to help with your sleeping, though. Maybe grandma can take him for a night? Or a good friend of yours who's also a momma? My cousin takes my little guy when I need a break.
