Is it possible to get 2 month old to nap anywhere but on me?

Hes fine at night in the sleepyhead but in the day i am grounded for his naps. Today i have tried to lay him in sleepyhead, moses and reclining bouncer 2x and he wakes up within minutes. This also means he wakes and wants to nurse Confused. I've given up now as i fear he will get overtired.

Is there a nack? Or do i just admit defeat? He will sleep in the pram or car when out (until i stop pushing/at traffic lights!) But on days at home i really struggle to get anything done. I know i shouldnt complain about sitting in front of tv but after a long pregnancy the novelty has worn off abit!

Is it a case that hes still too young?

Have you tried playing hoover sounds on your phone? My 2 month old conks out when I put it on. Iv also started tummy time in the day which seems to tire her out lol. Either download the app called baby sleep sounds or put it on YouTube! X

Re: swaddling. Try a Love to Dream swaddle. Lots of babies prefer arms up.

You could try a Snugglbundl blanket for cot transfers. I think having the warm blanket helps negate the temperature change.

I had to hold my baby for naps until he was about 4 months. He then started allowing me to feed to sleep then transfer to bed
