Can you give this mum some compassionate advice? Anonymous writes, I have three children -- a four-year-old, a two-year-old, and a newborn (one month old). Im really struggling with the night wakings, as the one-year-old doesnt always sleep through the night, and then his crying wakes the four-year-old. Also my newborn is breastfeeding and wakes every few hours to feed. The struggle Im having is my partner. He is our income earner and he really needs his sleep at night as he works full-time, so he is the one who sleeps while I get up to tend to everyone -- the newborn, the waking toddler, and the waking four-year-old. I managed things okay when we just had the two children, but with a third child in the mix, Im really starting to become exhausted. Im not sure how to broach the subject with my partner, because we had agreed that I would be the one to handle all the nighttimes since he is working, and especially since he works with heavy machinery so him not getting enough sleep could be dangerous (which is why I am concerned about him getting enough sleep). Has anyone been in this situation and could offer some ideas or hope?
