Why cant I sleep when baby sleeps!!!

Question

I just cant seem to fall asleep when she naps. Shes a good napper, goes down for 2hrs but I just cant seem to sleep. Shes 2 weeks old and nighttime is pretty hectic so I feel like i should be sleeping during the day!!! Frustrating.

Answer

Oh girl I feel/felt the same way. I never slept when my son did because I felt it was my only time to myself to just sit in silence or take a shower or eat lol. 9 months later and I still do the same thing. It’s hard. I do go to my mothers every weekend and she will watch him while I sleep in her guest room
 For a few hours. That helped a lot. But I think this is my life now. Running on no sleep, lol

Answer

My lo is 4 months tomorrow and I’ve never been able to nap when she does. I’m not a natural day sleeper anyway and even when I’m exhausted, she goes down and by the time I’m actually able to fall asleep she’s waking up again. It isn’t ideal but I think u acclimatise to just having less sleep

Answer

Do you have someone who can watch her wile you get some sleep? I had to have my husband watch our babies so I could sleep. If i tried napping while they napped, I would lay there and think about having to get up with them when they were done napping.
