Daytime napping- advice please!

[Anyonecare]

Please help! My 14 week old wakes at least twice at night (8 hours) and during the day she will dose off when breast fed. However whenever I then try to put her I her Moses basket she wakes up & cries.

This has resulted in her basically not napping during the day & I am shattered as I cannot catch up on my lost night time sleep.

Any advice will be greatly received. We are anti dummies & she is exclusively breast fed. Thanks!

Good info here. You could try waiting longer before moving her to basket - she's maybe not in a deep sleep when you move her.

You could try a sling/wrap carrier and see if she'll sleep in that - then someone else could wear her and give you a chance to get a nap.

If you can find different ways to get her to sleep now it'll make life easier in long run. Although she's very wee and nursing to sleep normal. Her evening sleep seems pretty good.

Good luck!
