My son, who is now 6 was the most terrible sleeper as a newborn (and we still have trouble sending him to bed). He just did not sleep. I would go crazy and eventually developed PND because of it as i could not function. I hope it doesn't get that bad for you though.
My little girl is now 1 and she wakes twice a night for a bottle and on some night wakes at 4-5am and is ready for the day ahead.
You are definitely not alone. Don't feel resentful towards your little bub as she loves you dearly and you are the only one person she has that will love her like you do. Not all babies are the same. Some sleep, some don't. Some eat well, some won't. Each bub has its own personality and we wouldn't want it any other way.
One piece of advice, get some sleep when bub sleeps during the day even if it is for 30mins or 2hours, you will wake up to be a new person. If housework slides out the door, well so be it. We can't be supermum!
Goodluck. Remember... as they say ...it will improve (i'm still waiting!)
