My lo is 10 weeks. He will not sleep in the day. I have to settle him about every 15 mins with dummy and or cuddle. I can't get anything done and my 2yo is getting frustrated.

You are not alone. Same ages here between my two and same thing happening. It's bloomin hard work! Not sure what solution is. I have resisted using a dummy but on my own as DH on holiday so given baby one and she is one happy thing!

Mine doesn't really nap reliably - tends to go for short bursts - but sleeps at night so I can't moan. I use a sling to get things done, care for dd (5), Cook etc

Baby is 17 weeks and it just seems to be his way.

My 15 week old is not a good napper either.

I put him in his bouncer for naps and gently bounce him when I can see he's stirring and it usually keeps him asleep for around 40-60 minutes, rarely longer.

I try to have one long walk of at least an hour in the pushchair a day so he can do a nap in there.

I've been told that catnapping at this age is very normal/common and naps don't lengthen until they start to get more mobile and take less/stay awake longer.

My baby is 14 weeks and a crap napper too, ok so she sleeps well at night but it's the day times frost I need to get things done and give my older child some attention!!
Ive read everything written about naps with babies and haven't found any answers other than this is just what some babies do - it's not a great answer and certainly hasn't helped my frustration but I'm just hoping that as she gets older and more mobile that she'll need more sleep
In the day!!
