I kind of feel like I'm drowning here. L (1 month) is turning out to be pretty high needs, aside from the fact she's also still eating every 2 hours. I just got a swing today but it showed up broken E (25 months) has completely stopped listening to me. She has been super destructive, needy and purposefully defiant. I know it's her way of adjusting but I don't know what to do.

I've tried making her "mommys helper", wear the baby in a wrap when I can, put books near glider to keep her busy during feedings and pointing out all the positives of being a big girl but none of it works. I feel awful that I'm constantly discipline her and I'm so tired that my patience wears thin and I've yelled more than I want :(.

I'm not sure what to do or how to help E cope more.
