In case you haven't heard this today:

You deserve some time with some earplugs in.
It's okay (and wise) to set baby down somewhere safe and contained and go take a break. If you're worried about it, set a timer and take breaks on a regimented schedule.
You will sleep well again.

First of all, thank you for an actually empathetic comment and great advice. My demon baby is now a happy preschooler.

I will say with my previous child, I thought I knew more than I did because they were such an easy baby. Now I know better and I constantly coach tactics, like the ones you describe, to new parents.
