My 13 week old dd2 (dc4) will not sleep and I feel it is ruining my life. I am starting to resent her. She started off sleeping well at night and I could cope with the crap day sleeps. For the last 3 weeks she is unsettled from 5 am until she finally has a poo about 20 minutes later. I then have to change her which means she is then awake. She will go back to sleep eventually at about half six by which time the others are starting to get up for school so I don't get the extra sleep. I should go to bed earlier but I have to do all the chores when all the kids are in bed so I don't normally get to bed before half eleven.
She is awful at naps too. Yesterday she had the total of 1 hour in three 20 minute batches. It's not as if she doesn't need it. She is miserable when tired. She will sleep if we are on the move I.e the school run but as soon as we stop moving she wakes up. If I put her to sleep in the day she wakes up within 15 minutes of me moving away from her. My ds2 understandably won't allow me the time to sort out the naps (he is 2.9). They are both at home with me all day with no option for nursery until September.
I am exhausted, my house is in ruins and I am a shit parent because of it. How can I sort this out?
