Are you swaddling her? Also is this just at night or during the day as well?

i feel like it’s during the day .. she just started doing this yesterday. i put her to sleep in my arms and she fallas asleep and wakes up and does that repeatedly .. i sometimes swaddle her but it’s rare

the longer stretch naps tend to shorten for some reason around this time. My almost 5 week old would nap in longer stretches then around the 3 week mark she began to go all over the place. Some days she sleeps all day, part of it, all over the place or will take like one 40 min nap and up all day lol. If you're concerned and are like "this baby needs a good nap" try swaddling her and holding her for like 10-20 min (while laying her on a pillow or nursing pillow if you have one) - that does the trick sometimes with us. Godspeed 🙌

My 3wk old boy is the same way. He's starting to fight sleep during the day. He will start closing his eyes and as soon as I think he's actually asleep his eyes pop open and he's awake again. Even with a pacifier and rocking him in my arms for so long he seems he's not letting himself fall asleep.

omg yess exactly this !
she likes to be with me almost all the time

same so frustrating. I will hold her until she sound to sleep before laying her down lol

girl yes very frustrating but we’ve got this 🫶🏽

Mine won’t last long unless he’s in someone’s arms or swaddled

she may be going through some growth spurts! my baby is a month old and some nights he is up a ton of times and cant nap throughout the day and other times he naps perfectly throughout the day and sleeps almost throughout the entire night! this just happened and the next day he woke up and smiled at me! not a gassy smile lol!
