I'm struggling to get my 8 week old dd to sleep during the day. Up until a week or so ago she would either fall asleep after a feed, or drop off easily in the sling. Now however, even when I can tell she's overtired and has been awake for over 1.5 hours, I just can't get her to sleep. She won't go down in the crib/ moses basket. Putting her down either asleep or drowsy just results in her springing wide awake. Holding, walking, swaying (either in our out of the sling) etc also don't work. She just gets increasingly agitated and awake. And she just wails all the time in her pushchair. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. At the moment I'm ending up spending so long trying to get her to sleep that in the end I just have to give up and feed her again (she's ebf and feeds approx every 2 hours). So I'm sure she's not getting enough sleep in the day. Any advice on how to get her to sleep gratefully received!
