Does your baby also fight naps ?

Question

My LO fights her naps, seems like the past 2 weeks. She’ll be 9 weeks tomorrow. We try white noise swaddles quite room. Nothing seems to work she’ll be super fussy from 3-9. With only taking about 10-15 mins naps every 2-3 hours. At night she is a super good sleeper. By 10p she is out for 6-7 hours than takes a nap for an hr than up for the day. 
Any suggestions to help her not be so fussy for a long period time.

Answer

Im going thru the same!!! He takes 5-10 min naps and at night he sleeps very well but it’s exhausting

Answer

Have you tried shorter wake windows? I’ve read to try to not let baby be up more than 1.5 hours max between naps.  I notice when my daughters overtired she is sooo hard to get to nap

Answer

Until 4 months I babywear for all naps that are not happening. It sounds like your baby is sleeping really well at night though, so idk if you would want to do anything to change that.

Answer

My LO was like this for a while. I wasn't paying attention to his sleeping cues. I usually look at the time like a hawk and don't let him go more than 1 hour awake. It has seemed to work. He is almost 10 weeks.

Answer

My 10 week old is the same, sleeps really well at night from 10pm-7am with 1 or 2 feeds in the middle. During the day he only sleeps 2 or 3 hours total (on a good day) with small cat naps after feeds or in the stroller. It’s really hard to get him to go down for a long daytime nap. He’s not fussy really, I’m just worried he needs more sleep for his development!

Answer

Same! We now use the pacifier and its working. Still, naps are only happening while i hold him. Sometimes he wakes up because of the silent reflux. This is one common issue. It will go.away eventually.
