This sounds like my time when H was first born. I was in hospital 2 nights and didn't get a wink of sleep, then gave birth and had no sleep, then the first night home he cried allll night and most of the night after for nights after that! BUT this is a phase and it will pass and get easier I promise!!! Nap when he does - ask your partner to take him so you can rest. If people visit and hes asleep, tell them you're making the most of it and going for a nap! It's not rude of you - its rude of them! I loathed having tons of visitors, especially when they stayed whilst LO napped! It made me even more exhausted! Or simply say no to visitors full stop until you're feeling more refreshed. Your LO may have colic and theres some things we tried which helped - infacol, woodwards gripe water on his dummy (are you using a dummy btw?) swaddling, drops of lavendar oil on a cotton ball in his crib, music playing quietly, feeding him in very low lit rooms at night...
