Advice for infant safe sleep


I am trying hard not to bedshare. I know the risks and want to follow the rules of safe sleep for my 8 months old. The problem is, I'm completely exhausted. I'm working 16+ hour days right now 6 to 7 days a week. Our infant is teething and will not sleep unless held. We also have a toddler who wakes up at 5am. My husband and I try to switch off watching the baby at night but we are both at the point where we physically cannot say up any longer. Coffee, TV, walking, sitting in uncomfortable places, none of it works anymore. I just cannot stay up any longer. And cry it out isn't really an option since she's feeling sick (so I feel too guilty leaving her to scream), she's having stomach issues (poos when she gets worked up), and she's a stubborn baby (will scream for over an hour, and risks waking up the toddler).Does anyone have any advice? I'm struggling and don't know what to do. I can't maintain this lack of sleep but also don't want baby girl to be unsafe. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2QvLsKq
