How to get enough sleep?

Question

i have a 6 week old and a 4 year old and i'm getting next to no sleep as the 6 week old is not yet sleeping through the night and the 4 year old is awake at 7am -7pm no afternoon naps my 6 week old is a good sleeper during the day but i am unable to get any sleep during the day because i need to be attentive to my 4 year old so the question is how can i sleep while having to be attentive to my 4 yr old it cant be done

Answer 1

I am in a similar situation.  Luckily I have a wonderful mom, and she comes to visit each day for a couple of hours to let me get some sleep.  i dont know what I would do without her.

Don't be afraid to ask for help, if there is someone who would like to spend more time with your kids.  Its been a lifesaver for me.

Best of luck :)

Answer 2

I understand how important sleep is!!  Would your 4 year old have fun taking a class or lesson (swimming, art, tennis) - that would give you a couple of hours each day to have a nap or just to relax.  I know it's tough - but in the end very rewarding!!  :)

Answer 3

how about sleeping pills?
