7 week old happy baby who sleeps well at night. With decent bed time routine.
He does, however, refuse to nap in the day and because of this can be grouchy As soon as signs of tiredness arise I try and get him down but he is so so strong willed. He kicks and punches or try's to fix on something to stimulate him. and tends to cry till he falls asleep anytime between 4oclock and 7, later if he doesn't go down. Have tried everything going. Is it colic? Purple crying? Personality? Have tried putting him in Moses basket when he starts to yawn but he'll either lie there happily for ages and get more awake or hell scream the house down. Have occasionally been successful and he's slept but not for long. It's not to big a deal as sleeping at night is great but his father works away from home so when I'm on my own (99% of the time) it can make for a really long day, hard on my own.
I know I'm lucky that he sleeps at night.
Have tried everything I can read or think of to no avail.
Any suggestions???
