My ds has never been a particularly good mapper during the day but over the last week it has gotten much much worse. Despite trying to put him down at the first signs of tiredness or just after around 90 min wake time, during the day he ends up an overtired mess! The past few days it has taken on average to get him over to sleep and then he wakes up every few minutes absolutely screaming and upset. I then do pupd but this can go on for around 40-60 mins with him seemingly be unable to switch off at all. I am VERY lucky in that he normally sleeps from 7pm to 6am uninterrupted and I wouldn't be that worried about him napping during the day but for the fact that he seems so very distressed.
Is this common and will he grow out of it? Any suggestions as to how I can help him? I've tried white noise, the pram, the car, etc but nothing makes any difference. From about 12-14 weeks I felt we were making real headway with his daytime sleep and he was going down without a fuss and seemed very peaceful but it has gradually gotten worse and worse. It breaks my heart seeing him so upset and I just wish I knew how to help him.
