Can you change her nappy and take her out for a walk or drive? My first was a sleep refuser and a short drive usually sorted it.

At 7.5 week though it’s pretty normal for them to want daytime naps in your arms or a sling Flowers

Sounds like a pretty decent night in the end. Hope everything is more settled today and you enjoy seeing your DF Smile
