Hi,
Very new to all this so any advice would be so helpful!
My daughter seems to be not getting enough sleep when I have a particular child in the house.
My daughter has one big sleep in the afternoon now, the last couple of weeks on the day when I have another 1 yr old my daughter hasn't slept more than 1/2 hour then been up for 4 hours in the night (very unlike her) she has slept fine every other night.
The 1 yr old has 2/3 short naps so is usually up when my daughter needs to sleep, the problem I have is if my daughter needs settling the other one starts to scream as I cannot leave her she has to be with me all the time - not helpful when I am trying to get my one off to sleep.
Any tips? Yesterday I tried going for a drive, but the one I wanted to sleep didn't and the want I didn't want to sleep did! I have only had 2 hours sleep and really don't want to resolve this so that I can continue.
Feel like I am falling at the 1st hurdle!
Thanks in advance for any advice :)
