Leap 2-8 week old won't settle!

Just wondering if anyone else is going through leap 2 with their little one?
My wee boy is so grouchy, fighting all naps (so far only had an hour and that was on me and I had to stay super still!). Tried swaddling him, he just keeps kicking, flailing his arms and vocalising. He looks so tired but nothing seems to work! Also tried white noise, dummy..even when I cuddle him he squirms about and won't settle. I'm halfway though the leap, hopefully things improve soon 🙏

I have been there, and I know how hard it can be when you feel like you have tried everything. Have you tried a sling? My daughter would nap in there the first few months, or maybe even just go for a walk to get some quiet time? I know it's easier said than done but it is just a phase!!

I'm going through the second leap atm i think, she also was really unsettled with her 8 weeks jabs too.

She's stuck to me all day (won't go in a sling) and fighting naps too, i just remember that it's a phase and before long I'll be going through some other problem haa!

It will settle, you got this!
