2 month old almost impossible to settle for naps.

CORRECTION: She's 3 mo'. Has anyone had that problem. I've tried literally everything: dark room, white noise, swaying rocking, pram, carrier, cot and watching for tired cues and the waking windows (please no advise regarding the length of the windows). There is no reliable method to settle her apart from feeding which also does not always work. Bang on three months she decided she won't nap. I feel like all my energy goes to putting her to sleep but on good days I settle her for what's close to an hour and at best we manage 2.5 hrs split into 5 naps. But often we don't manage even that and what worked one day does not work the next and she is perpetually tired. I'm so tired from all the swaying and rocking and pretty sure my joints are bugged.

@shardlakem she can go without sleep for hours - she is tired

@SpinnyDinos456 i actually think she is now going through the regression but not ready/ able to self settle yet

Yeah I thought the same at 3 months, I even posted here 😅 just wait it out. Which I know seems impossible right now. But my son is 1 now and I can say I did survive it.

Hi! Sorry that you’re going through this!

I find with my 2 month old he sleeps well, especially at night time he’ll sleep 5 hours uninterrupted!

Within the daytime to settle for naps I find if he’s in his chair he sleeps easy! Or if he’s in his led down push chair and I move that back and forth for five minutes it sends him to sleep pretty quick! Maybe give that a go?
