My DD was born at 34 weeks and is now 5 months. I find she can only stay awake 45mins to an hour before needing a nap. She gets over stimulated and tired very quickly.... is this normal?
I meet up with mums with babies of a similar age and they seem to be awake longer and generally cope with a lot more. My DD tends to get overwhelmed and if I don't get her down for a nap she gets very fractious and then takes a long time to calm down.
At home, she is calm, smiley and engaged when awake but it try to do anything with her ( rhyme time groups for example) it's like she just can't cope with it.
This is my first.
Is this like other babies but I just don't see it...is it because she's prem or us there another underlying issue?
