My lo is 7 weeks old and I'm having trouble getting him to sleep in the day which then makes for very long and sometimes upset evenings.
It's so strange .. He'll drift off by himself no problem, wherever he is (cot, on me, chair etc) but then minutes later he just opens his eyes again and is back to being wide awake.
Yesterday he was awake pretty much from 3pm until half 10! The longest he slept for was about 20 minutes but maybe 8 or 9 other times he dosed off, sometimes for as long as 10 minutes but then he just wakes up again. Not crying or fussing or upset but he's awake, with very red and tired eyes.
I just can't work out what would make him wake like that?
We were upstairs by ourselves pretty much the whole time so nothing disturbed him, if we'd been out he provably wouldn't have slept at all. Today when we were out I rocked him to sleep and he woke up again 4 times in 45 minutes.
He really isn't getting enough sleep I don't think and it can make him unsettled then late in the evening.
Any advice gratefully received!!
Thanks so much
