Please help! 11 week old not sleeping..is this normal?

Question

Does anyone else’s tracking look like this? My 11 week old has never been a great sleeper, but yesterday and today we seem to have hit an all time low. He only got 11 hours of sleep total yesterday and it looks like we’ll probably get about the same or less than that today. 
Up until yesterday he was happily taking a 2-3 hour nap in his swing during the day. Now any time I put him down in it he screams bloody murder! The only way I’ve been able to get him to sleep is by bouncing on an exercise ball while I nurse him in his swaddle with a white noise machine on, and even then he won’t nap longer than 15-30 minutes.

Answer

Really sorry to be that person as I know exactly what it’s like but swings aren’t safe for sleep. Positional asphyxiation can happen while they’re asleep in swings. They’re safe for awake time even though I know you’re posting about sleep! My almost 11 week old was a terrible sleeper until last week so I understand your frustration. Following my los awake/sleep times have done wonders for us although sometimes she fights her sleep hard!

My little one is 10 weeks but I’m having the same problem. He’s fine during playtime and when I swaddle him, but the second I lay him in my arms to rock him to sleep he starts screaming. He will eventually settle and I’ll get him down for his naps, but he only sleeps for 30 minutes and then he’s up for hours. He usually sleeps good for his first stretch of the night but then after each of his 2 night feedings, he’ll wake 40 minutes after going back down. He’s only getting around 11 hours total a day and I know that isn’t enough 😔

Answer

My babe is 11 weeks Wednesday and doesn't sleep nearly as much as she needs to. Its 6pm and she's slept 6.5 hours of broken sleep since midnight last night😳

Answer

Same!!! Except my 11 week old is even worse...he only sleeps an average of 11-12 hours. On bad days it’s more like 9 -10...
He sleeps for a 6-7 hour stretch every night in his crib though, and loves to babble and play when he’s awake so I’m not too worried yet. Have you tried taking walks with a baby carrier? That’s the only way my son naps during the day.

Answer

My guy is 12 weeks today and fights all naps. Have you tried going on walks or drives with your baby?
