DD1 is almost 3 and DD2 is 4.5 months. My baby isn't napping well. She sleeps great at night most of the time and is an easy baby (not at all like my first!) although she does have reflux. She napped better as a newborn, long ones in the sling and sometimes an hour or so in bed. But these days she often naps in short spurts of 10-15 minutes. I'm worried that our life is just too disruptive for her. I'm so busy with my toddler, and we are in and out of the house during the day, in and out of the car to go to playdates, etc. I just don't know how to get both of their needs met and I'm worried that we've inadvertently "taught" her to wake every 15 minutes because of all the transitions. 
The baby caught a cold and I'm concerned that she may be sleep deprived. How can I help her sleep better? When you have a baby this age, do you just put your outside activities on hold? I think that might be too hard for DD1 and for me right now. Why won't she stay asleep even in a walk in the sling?
