Sleep regression BUT only during the day?

Question

My son is refusing naps. All. Day. Long. But he is an amazing nighttime sleeper, which is good because I would’ve lost my mind by now if not!
I try to put him down as soon as he shows sleepy cues, use blackout curtains/white noise, have a naptime routine, etc... no luck. I literally have to hold him to nap for the past several days. He won’t sleep while babywearing and I also have a toddler to take care of. Suggestions?

Answer

Have you tried wake windows instead of sleepy cues? At 4 months the wake windows are 2 hours, with a half hour wiggle on either side. It might help. My son goes down at 2 hours whether he’s showing sleep cues or not and falls asleep within 2-3 min. If he’s falling asleep or REALLY cranky earlier than that we try to get to 1h45min and then put him down. It can help prevent over tiredness. Good luck!

Answer

I have no suggestions but I am in the exact same boat. Great night time sleeper but will not nap out of my arms 🤷🏻‍♀️😩

Answer

I always do soft music and that helps by little guy along with nursing and rocking if I just lay him down he won’t fall asleep. Do you have a swing? He also falls asleep by himself in his swing or stays asleep if I put him in his swing after he falls asleep
