9 week old fighting sleep

[pigleychez]

DD2 has started fighting her daytime naps.

Im currently rocking her with my foot whilst typing after trying for just over an hour to get her off.!
I know shes tired as her eyes are rolling and she been awake for a while but is really really fighting it!

Shes been doing this for about 4 days now and its getting really draining. Shes also turned into a really light sleeper and will stir at anything. Soa ll that time getting her off only for her to wake at the slightest noise. With an almost 2yr old sister hairing around its not ideal!

Im now debating about putting her upstairs for naps but worried that shes too little to be alone and nervous of confusing her day/night naps as she sleeps very well at the mo! Usually 10 till 5.30 /6 so i know i should complain really but I spend most of day trying to get her to sleep at the mo and its geting impossible to get anything done at all, let alone entertain DD1.

Anyone any suggestions/help/ Anything!

My DD (3mo) has also become a light sleeper recently - I'm blaming the weather. She really fights sleep in the day - as if she's worried she's going to miss something - but I've tried to keep to the same routine. (Notice her eyes rolling, whisk her into our bedroom, put her on our bed, sing her a song, tell her it's nap time, leave the room). If she cries I do go in and comfort her but leave her to fall asleep on her own.

Sometimes it just doesn't work and she doesn't get that sleep - but she tends to catch up at the next sleep or overnight.

Anyway, I'm hoping things will go back to normal when it cools down!

Could you use your bed for naps instead of her cot/basket? Although she probably won't get confused between day and night if the room is light and she hasn't had a bath. Good luck.

Wow! Routine at three months - I'm impressed

DD (3 months) only difference between day and night is quieter/darker at night. When she is tired I either feed her to sleep (usually), or rock her on my lap. If I stay with her (physically touching) while she sleeps she sleeps much longer, so I stay. She has no routine, when she starts to get grouchy (whenever it is) I put her to sleep (if I'm not out somewhere etc)

Don't be impressed IAGTBF - when I say routine I mean a string of events that I hope signify bed time or nap time - daytime naps happen at completely unpredictable times and last anywhere between 20 mins and 3 hours!!
