Difficult naps?!

She sleeps pretty good at night and is now averaging 8 hours which I’m really really grateful for.

But most of the time she cannot/will not nap during the day - since 6:30am she’s shut her eyes today for 15 mins tops and I’m struggling to get anything done as she just wants to be held. I tried a sling but because she’s in a Palvic harness for hip displasia she didn’t like it it must have made her straps too tight. She cries if I put her down so It’s now 3pm and I’ve not managed to eat again 😬

I thought babies needed to sleep up to 18 hours per day lol mine seems to run on 8 consecutive which sounds great but it’s coming at the cost of an over-tired and grumpy baby come 6pm when she hasn’t napped all day 😩 then it can take up to 4 hours to get her down. At first I thought it might be colic but I don’t think she has gas, she’s just over tired.

I’ve tried my night routine for day time naps to see if I can get her to sleep a bit that way but no joy. If ever I can get her down in the day it’s 15 mins tops before her eyes jolt wide open and she’s done and even then that might only be two to three times at most a day.

Any tips? 😫
