My DD is 12 weeks on Sunday.
She has only napped when held ever since birth. She's not a great sleeper in general, to be honest, but is capable of doing a 5-6 hr stretch in her cot.
When I try and trasnfer her into the pram, she immediately wakes. This is an improvment, though as she used to instantly scream blue murder at every attempt of doing so. She will now happily lay awake in the pram for a while.
She's EBF and I feed to sleep pretty much all the time, but she has fallen asleep with a dummy when rocked a few times.
I have try to lay her down awake/drowsy. She screams within 10s (she doesn't just fuss, she actually screams with face red etc.) and she's too young for any sort of CC etc.
Her naps very rarely last longer than 45mins, too. I try and send her to sleep before signs of tiredness appear.
Is there any hope for us to make her naps last longer and perhaps not on me all the time? I don't mind as such, but if she's only managing 45mins, then it's not really helping that much.
