Contact napping

[Danielle1997]

Any advice my 15 week old sleeps perfectly fine in her next to me at night time. However, in the day she will not sleep on her own, only when I’m holding her. I’ve tried the pram, next to me in a dark room. Putting her down when in deep sleep but soon as put down wakes up.

Anybody experience the same with there little ones and have grown out of it ?

Any advice on how I can get her to sleep on her own in the day will be much appreciated.

I could have written this! 15 week old, sleeps really well at night in the next to me, but struggle in the day. He will sleep in his pram and the car though thankfully, although when they stop moving he'll wake up. Other than that, he just naps on me. I'm scared to push the cot naps if he isn't happy though, incase it affects night sleep! sorry I'm no help

Might not be what you want to hear but this is totally normal baby behaviour, they feel safe with you.
Tricks and tips that helped me however when I also wanted not as many contact naps (they defo grow out of it!) -
Lay them down with something that smells like you. Lay down with them as they’re falling asleep so easier to get away. Put a hot water bottle in the cot to warm the mattress so when you transfer them they don’t wake from lack of body heat (obv remove the hot water bottle when you put them down). Lay them down and keep your hand on their chest so they feel a weight and drift back off. Many mums swear by putting baby on their belly, goes against sleep guidelines but many mums comfortable especially when baby can move their head easily, trust your instincts on this.
