Hi ladies - my DD is 3.5 months old and I don't think she's getting enough sleep during the day because she's definitely not getting the sleep that she wants.
She will only fall asleep in my arms though I've tried letting her fall asleep on her own. I know she's still a little young for that, but I don't know how to get her to that point. If I put her down downstairs, she will wake up from the noise - I have a very loud 2 year old and trying to keep him quiet is futile.
If I put her down upstairs, she wakes within 5-20 minutes.
The only good nap she has been getting during the day is from about 1-3 when her brother sleeps. She wants a morning nap and she wants a late afternoon nap, and neither is happening.
I feel like I spend all day trying to get her to rest and with a toddler, it's wearing me down and also not allowing me time with my DS (because if she's not sleeping, she's crying because she wants to be). Any advice at all is really appreciated.

I completely how you're feeling. DS started fighting naps when he was that age. Luckily, I only have 1 child so at least I didn't have to worry about a second child. It is really tough at 3.5 months as they're still a bit too young fo

Thanks for the advice, I actually feel so much better just knowing this is normal. I just remember DS having such a concrete nap schedule at this point (he did that himself) that I worried about DD.
I do let her sleep in the swing downstair
