I know it’s not abnormal
But im feeling so down that my 12 week old DD won’t sleep anywhere except on me during the day. I’m lucky that she is great at night, sleeps in cot from 7:30 pm to 7am with one wake up, twice has slept through. But it’s a different story in the day.
she has three naps. Morning nap every single day I try to put her in cot, she sleeps for 20 mins then wakes up crying and is impossible to resettle without feeding, rest of the nap then on me. I try this every single day and it’s exactly the same, no gradual improvement. At lunch I try to have her out in the pram for 2 hours, it’s an anxious 2 hours of pushing and jiggling. Final nap is always on me as she sleeps very lightly.
I don’t know if it’s even worth continuing to try, it feels like a pointless routine every single day, and I’m so fed up of feeling so anxious about her naps and worrying about her not getting enough and then being grouchy rest of day. But if I totally give in and let her sleep on me all the time I worry she’ll never learn. She’s a lovely baby when she’s awake and in stark contrast to nap time I just love hanging out with her
just very jealous of all those who can put their baby down reliably in the day and get on with their chores. I’d also be so much better at socialising out and about
don’t know what I’m looking for just some solidarity I guess, or reassurance that this won’t last forever. I had thought that by 3 months she would have grown out of it
