I need help. Any tips, anything. I've tried sound machines and rocking and patting and routines and adjusting meal times and I STILL can't get this kid to sleep through the night. His older brother was pulling all nighters by the time he turned one. My baby is killing me. We're day weaned and unfortunately, he won't take a sippy or straw at night. He'll scream and scream and scream until he's able to nurse and his brother wakes up. My husband just got home from a brain injury and as much as he wants to help, I don't want him to because the doctors put him on STRICT bed rest and SOME light activity. Going on damn near 2 weeks of him waking up every 2 hours is going to kill me. My fil is here to help but he's already doing so much and the baby screams if it's not me or his dad putting him to sleep, so even if he could help, no one would get sleep. I'm about to bite the bullet and quit breastfeeding cold turkey bc I don't know what else to do. He eats enough food during the day (will eat until he pukes 😭) and drinks the cow milk in a straw cup with no complaints during the day. I don't get why he's rejecting it at night. I've even tried pumping into it and no dice. Water too. I feel like I'm breaking down from the stress and lack of sleep.

This might not be the best place to ask, but for some background I recently moved into my first house. We hadn't bought lawn care things yet and while normally my husband does this kind of stuff, he's recovering from a brain injury (you can check my post history for that story) and will be down for the count for the foreseeable future. I don't know ANYTHING about lawn care but I know if our grass is too long we may get fined, and with him not working (I stayed at home, 2 toddler under age 4) we can't afford any extra expenses right now. I have a job interview tomorrow and I would be willing to fill the mower with gas and return it as soon as I'm done. Can you mow after it rains? Would appreciate some tips or a step in the right direction.

edit: it's the middle of the night and currently my younger toddler is deciding it's time to party, but thank you. I've read all the comments willing to help me out and I'm so touched. I posted here a little desperate and scared, and I didn't expect so many to people to offer to help. Thank you everyone, the community here is wonderful and I'm so thankful.

Fuck her. I just brought my husband home today and she wanted to be rude and condescending. Luckily I block fast. My husband stands by me 1000%, he didn't even want to tell her he went to the hospital but because I'm stupid and wanted to give her a chance, I let her know. I'll never make that mistake again lol. She's now blocked and cut off potentially for good.

-signed, a reformed idiot lmao

Thanks to the advice of everyone here, I got my husband to the ER. He's stabilized and is sitting on a nasty concussion, but is otherwise himself. His mom flew in as a surprise so I was able to sit in the hospital with just him and be there for support for a few hours. I'm holding him (he asked me to cuddle him and the nurses said it was okay) trying not to burst into tears and worried to death and he drops this wonderful gem

"You know, if I could die anyway I'd like some hospital booty before I go," while wiggling his eyebrows

Y'all I think this is the first time I've laughed since I dropped him off.

EXCUSE ME SIR?! You almost died and are still under observation to make sure you're brain isn't bleeding, and you're thinking of BOOTY?! Unhand me rn, I think he'll be alright y'all 😭😂

My husband works for a cellphone provider as a fiber installation tech. While he's done more dangerous jobs before (used to be a wind turbine guy before our kids, literally had a coworker DIE like 3 days after he told me it was super safe), today is the first time he's ever fallen. It was windy, and he was up on his ladder and it slipped from beneath him while he was taking a step toward the top.

Miraculously, my husband fell 15 feet with no hard hat on and other than a few bruises, scrapes, and soreness he's okay. We're still monitoring him to see if he has a concussion but the man's thick ass head protected him. He was pretty dazed and the customer luckily saw him fall and called 911 pretty quick, but came to and drove himself home. He's been sleeping on and off most of the day, or laying down. So I'm still worried, but he's here. Alive. He's expressed his disappointed he fell bc he couldn't make money today but I couldn't give a shit about the money.

I'm just so fucking glad he's okay. We may have our problems but goddamn I'm so glad he's okay bromos. My heart dropped in my damn chest when he called and told me what happened. People have died off of shorter falls and he fell straight onto to concrete and basically rolled it off after 20 minutes.

edited: hey everyone, I did take him to he hospital this morning. he wanted to keep sleeping but I honestly was worried he wasn't gonna wake up, he's in the ER rn and so far they think he has a skull fracture. thank you to everyone who told me to take him to the emergency room!
