I am struggling with day naps for my three month old. He was doing okay at naps and would fall asleep on me or in a bouncer or car or pram which meant I could be out and about with my three year old but things have got progressively worse the last few weeks and now he will only nap on me after a feed or occasionally in his crib but wakes after ten minutes.
Decided he needs a routine so trying to put him down in his crib with his dream sheep toy on and a dummy. Trying to spot sleep cues but I don't think I am catching them so going for nap at least every two hours too.
It isn't working. He just screams. I am trying settling him by putting my hand on his chest and shush ing him and only picking him up when he is really upset then putting him back down. It isn't working he is just getting really worked up. It's been an hour with no success so.have just fed him to sleep again.
I read some sleep guides bur they don't really say what to do if it's not working just that a routine is important so thought I would ask for any tips you all have. I am getting to the end of my tether. Please help!
