3.5 month old baby only naps for DH
Sleep Context
- Always gone to bed late, 10pm ish, but started to sleep through the night (6+ hrs) very early on
- Now wakes up at least once each night. Only settled when fed and rocked. Usually can't go back to sleep unless we bring him into bed with us*.
- Both of us can rock him to sleep after a feed.
Napping - The Issue
- Never naps during the week days
- No longer feeds to sleep (although is a long and lazy feeder)
- I've tried to rock, sing, read, play, walk, use the recommended wake windows etc
- He settles but never closes his eyes!
- As soon as DH gets home, DS basically conks out in his arms and has a 1-3 hrs nap (arms then bouncer for the last 30 min while we eat dinner).
- I feel like his massive nap contributes to his early wake up as it's so hard to get him back to sleep.
Am I doing something wrong?
Just want at least 1 nap so I can eat something proper and so he has a better night routine! No family nearby to help.
* One of us stays awake and watches him. It's usually 4/5 am so we're quite awake by then.
