Apologies if this has been covered. I've been through quite a few of the older posts and can't find anything which matches my situation...which I think makes me quite lucky!
My 6wk old sleeps brilliantly at night, usually going down between 9 and 10.30 pm, wakes once or twice for a feed and goes straight down again until 6.30-7.30 am.
During the day, there are times when he goes off on his own, but other times when I catch the sleepy signs and put him in his cot or pram, but then he wakes himself up again and is then awake for hours. He doesn't usually cry, until he's been awake for a good few hours, he just kicks his legs and looks about. I've tried feeding him to sleep, walking for almost an hour in the park, sitting with him in a dark room, rocking him to sleep in my arms, all with and without a dummy. `it doesn't work. He is awake and content, but I can see he's tired, for hours then screaming.
The question is, should I just leave him quietly in his buggy or bouncy chair, and accept that maybe he doesn't need that much sleep, or should I be doing more to help him get to sleep?
