Please help me 😅ðŸ˜
So my baby girl is 7 weeks old today. For the past week and a half she’s been staying up for 4-7 hours straight. Some days even longer.. no matter what I do I can’t get her to take a nap. She wakes up between 8am-11am and refuses to take a nap until 3pm-5pm. I’m exhausted. She always ends up getting fussy and cries very easily. I’m at a loss. I’ve tried everything. She’s just wide awake moving her arms and legs around. I can’t even eat or drink or go to the bathroom. I’m on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. I don’t know why she’s not sleeping during the day. And she only goes 1.5-2.5 hours at night before she wakes up for feeds. What am I doing wrong? My husband isn’t able to help much because of work and he gets home in the evening when she’s finally asleep. Her schedule pretty much goes like this. Wakes up at 8:30am to eat. Is wide awake all day and fussy (she eats every 2-3 hours during the day) then when she eats around 3-4ish pm then she sleeps for 2-3 hours then wakes up and eats again. Then she’s up and from 7pm-9pm until 11pm or midnight. Then she sleeps around 2 hour intervals until around 8:30am and the process just keeps repeating itself. Why is she doing this? I could really use some support and advice.. also she’s been up so much and I’ve been so tired that I feel like I’m not able to do a lot with her. I try to talk to her and do stuff with her for the first hour to hour and a half but then after her feed I try to get her to sleep. And she’ll fall asleep for maybe 1-2 minutes then she wakes up wide awake again. Please help I’m just not sure why she’s staying awake for 4-7 hours straight during the day.
