My 6 week old baby has just got through the newborn sleepy stage & so very alert during the day & now very noise sensitive.
I have a 2 year old toddler so during the day she is very noisy & I cannot spend ages trying to settle him. The very few occasions i have managed to settle the baby, he has woken within 5 minutes of being put down as she will be screaming. I remember when I got to this phase with my first when she was 6 weeks, I used to go out with her in the pram a lot but obviously that is not as easy this time around...
I use a dummy with him but he just lies there wide awake in the Moses basket. He will also quite contently sit on the jungle gym mat. So does it matter that he doesn’t actually sleep much during the day? He sleeps ok ish at night with 3/4 hour stretches. And can anyone advise on how I can get my baby to sleep in the day with a noisy toddler around?
TIA
