2 month old fighting naps & sleep

[Iamtiredandsoismybaby]

For the past 2 weeks my 2 month old has been napping at most for 1 & a half hours collectively during the day. Even getting him down for those naps & getting him to stay down is a battle even though I’m following his tired cues.
By the time night time comes he is so overtired that he screams relentlessly, will eventually fall asleep but as soon as we put him down he’s awake again.
Earliest he’s been finally staying down at night is 1 am. I am at my wits end with this & my husband is also feeling the effects.
Any advice?

My 2 month old is the exact same. He gets fomo and will not want to nap in the day as to not miss anything. Naps are a struggle. Luckily he sleeps well every night 6:30-6:30 but I have to seriously keep on top of his naps and we don't really go out with him in the day as he sleeps won't nap anywhere but home. I've figured out he needs minimum 2 and half hours per day to not be miserable. I also have to do whatever I can to make him nap. Im currently sat with him in his swaddle on my chest with white noise blasting in his ear. He wouldn't go down for his morning nap in his crib so contact nap it is. Sometimes he will happily nap in his crib; sometimes he will not contact nap. We also know he will absolutely not sleep in the afternoon anywhere in the house; therefore I have to take him for an hour walk 4-5 in the carrier to make sure he is not overtired for bedtime at 6:30.

You just need to try and find things that work but try everything to make him nap. Swaddle, whitenoise, carrier, bouncer, sling, anything! And try and keep track of his sleeping habits and hopefully you'll figure out how much sleep he needs in order to not have a meltdown at night!

Some babies just don't like sleeping in the day! I've had to just accept that.

Also to say, as they get older they won't need much sleep anyway so hopefully they'll
Grow out of getting overtired :-) xx
