I have a 2 year old and a 3 month old that is in day-care full day for the whole week. I work mornings from 8 till 1pm and then I work for my husband in our shop in the afternoons. I also cook before 5pm that I go get the kids and I do the shopping and some errands for the house. I go to bed 11:30pm and get up in the morning at 6:00 (if one of the kids does not get up with DH at 5:30) I still give ds a night feed between 3am and 4am, but I think that within the next month he would be dropping that feed.

Ok that means that I get 6 and a half hours of sleep MINUS the 30 minutes that ds takes to feed = 6 hours of sleep. And that is all I need. But that is exactly the minimum. If I get to bed later or have to get up earlier, I need a nap. Usually I get to sleep once a week for about two hours. DH lets me take a nana nap, makes me feel good about it, because he tells me I deserve it and would usually do a BBQ for dinner so that I don't have to cook .. awww sweet.

I believe that if you are tired, you need to sleep. No use being drained and not being able to focus when you are caring for a bubba. So DON'T you dare feel guilty about sleeping!!!!
