Baby 4 months will not day nap

3 replies

My baby is 4 months and will not sleep in the day without a complete meltdown of crying which lasts about 45 minutes, then she will eventually sleep for about 10-15 minutes, then she’s wide awake again; I try and get her down before she’s too tired and that doesn’t work but every day is such a battle as we do this about 4-5 times a day! Luckily she sleeps from about 7pm-4am but the day times she is so moody & needs to sleep clearly.. any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Will she nap in a sling? DD was an avid contact / sling / pram napper. A short walk in the pram used to send her off to sleep for a while.

I'm guessing you've tried white noise / dummy / quiet dark room etc?

They always go a bit loopy at 4 months. They just want to be awake but their wee bodies aren't ready for it!

Bouncer, car nap, pram, upping her feeds a bit more?

Try putting her back to bed after a feed at 4 am. She’s probably very overtired 😊
