Hello, we are exhausted with trying to get out 11 week old to sleep. During the day he will only catnap unless taken for a long walk outside in the sling where then he gets a proper nap. This isn’t always possible with the weather. He won’t go for a deep sleep if walked around inside. He needs to be walked around to sleep even for a catnap.
At night he will not sleep on his back, whether in his crib or co sleeping with us. We’ve tried both and at the moment are trying to co sleep but it’s not working. He needs to be walked or fed to sleep but when put on his back (whether in deep sleep after a few hours or in light sleep or drowsy but awake) he wakes up after a few minutes and cries. We have tried swaddling, cuddling him back to sleep, tilting his cot etc and nothing works. He only sleeps deeply on his stomach, lying on one of us. We have tried white noise, lights all out, etc.
when not tired he is a happy, chirpy baby so I’m not sure he has reflux or other issues.
any advice much appreciated.
