I seriously need advice and ideas please. I am begging. I nurse my toddler to sleep and have her whole life. Her little brother is here now and he needs me at night. I can't lay down and nurse and on top of that my daughter needs to be in her room with the sound machine to go to sleep. I've tried putting the newborn to sleep and rushing to get through my daughter's bedtime routine to get her to sleep before he wakes up but no matter what I do he wakes up while I'm with her and she isn't asleep yet. My husband works from 3-midnight so he won't be here to help me and even now all he can really do is hold a crying baby. So how am I supposed to juggle this and still give both kids what they need? My first day to do bedtime by myself is Tuesday. I'm filled with so much anxiety over the situation. I don't know what to do.

First off the more anxious you are the harder it's going to be to get them to sleep so just relax mama you got this give the toddler a little sweet about 30 minutes before bedtime and she'll be a little bit more tired than usual from the sugar crash and it'll be a lot easier to get her to sleep and the baby no she'll be a lot less anxious as well

Not what you want to hear but:
I think she should transition to weaning/sippy. It sucks, its gonna suck but you both might be happier if you can make that transition. Is hubby or any family around to take on nights w her? Or at least help?

Might be time to try to wean her off you if its causing that much stress on you. Stress can cause a dip in milk supply. Or still let her feed but try to sleep train without her falling asleep on the breast.
