Newborn napping

[sarahloula]

My 8 week old daughter sleeps really well at night. She settles at 10 after last feed and sleeps for between 5 and 7 hours. We get up to feed her, she goes straight back to sleep for another 4 hours. My issue is she is struggling to nap during the day. She finds it difficult to nod off and when she does she wakes up after a few minutes. I've tried cuddling, playing, nothing seems to work. She then gets overtired and grumpy.

I cant help but marking my place as I have the same issue with ds 10.5wks... he seems to have pretty much the same pattern as your ds too
