I'm so sorry. But the answer is that your DH needs to step up and do better and help. Parents everywhere are being crappy workers right now because they're simultaneously taking care of their kids-- he can and should do that too rather than expecting it to be all or even mostly on you. Talk to him about what you need him to take on for you to stay sane. It's not acceptable for him to assume that his work has to be prioritized over your mental health.

I would not a 6 week old to daycare anytime, pandemic or not. My kid was in daycare but not that young. You chose to have 3 kids, you deal with the same way other people with multiple kids do.
