Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone could offer me the benefit of their experience!
DS will be 6 weeks tomorrow. He's sleeping fairly well at night, going down relatively easily at 7pm and sleeping for a long stretch until his next feed.
The issue I have is with daytime.
I am trying to get him to take regular naps, based on when he's displaying signs of being sleepy (usually 1.5 hours after waking). However he just won't play ball!
I know a lot of babies seem to be able to sleep wherever, but I've tried his carrycot, his bouncy chair, a travel cot, to no avail. If I do get him to sleep in his moses basket in a dark room, it takes ages. Often when I put him down he starts screaming immediately, and I don't know what approach to take to resettle?
Sometimes he'll only go through one sleep cycle before he screams, and I find resettling him very difficult. I am also getting the stage where I dread trying to put him down during the day as it takes so much energy and then I'm just waiting for him to make the smallest noise - signifying the madness starting all over again!!
Any advice would be welcomed on how to help him get enough sleep in the day.
