Naps vs bedtime

[VaselineHero]

Does anyone have any ideas why my DD will self settle for her naps but not at bedtime? She's 16 weeks and so far is a good night sleeper once she's asleep. I know that could change with the 4 month sleep regression so have tried just putting her down awake and saying night. She goes straight off for her naps but bedtime there is no chance! She wants to fall asleep in my arms. We have a routine in place.

Any ideas?

I’d say if she’s napping well and is ok once she’s asleep then don’t try and change much now incase you ruin things 😂 if it takes a cuddle and a rock to get her to sleep so be it, she is still so young and sounds like she’s doing great. She’ll soon learn!

I’m amazed that she will settle for naps so young to be honest. My six month old still needs feeding to sleep at night and only naps in sling or buggy during the day

I'm actually quite surprised she goes down so easily for naps too tbh! Fingers crossed it continues. Okay then, I won't mess with it.
