When does it get easier with a newborn?

I have three children 6, 4 and 7 weeks, they are the best thing that has ever happened to me...... But I am so looking forward to our new born stage to move on. I feel like I've completely forgotten all the baby stages and I can't seem to keep my head above water at mo. The main thing im struggling with is getting my newborn to nap, it takes a long time and she gets distressed and my over two always seems to want my attention at that precise moment and I feel like I can't meet everyone needs and I'm failing.
With naps there's no quick fix and I'm searching and attempting every trick to help her nap. When I do get her to nap I'm already dreading the next nap time to do it all over again. It's relentless sometimes, but I guess that's life with 3 little ones and I'm hoping it does get easier 🙏

Try a sling to keep you ‘accessible” while the baby sleeps- it might not suit but it might! Also remember this passes-3 months and they are somehow more ‘normal’, not so alien and fragile.

We are at 13 weeks and all naps are on the sling. She still won’t tolerate laying down (reflux) but the sling always works. A sling is at easier for the school run than a prom and you have few bands.
