Have a 2.5 week old who, this week, has been refusing to nap in the day. She might catch 30-45 mins lying on me but will then just wake up and I have no idea what to do! She then gets overtired and won’t sleep at night! Any suggestions?!

A soft sling I received a couple of days ago helped let my 3 week old sleep and was good all day yesterday and today so far. Last night was crap though but it seemed to help with the falling asleep quickly x

Thank you! Did you just wear your little one through the whole nap then? X

I did yes for the first couple of naps but after went down like a dream x

I still have this with my nearly 5 week old. If she's had a good feed, she can usually sleep in the moving pram or car seat. But of course it means I don't get to rest/sleep. Mine does sleep ok at night though so I do tend to get kip in then. It's hard work - I'm sure you're doing a great job x

@Humera what are these called x

they called sleepyhead or dockatot
I got mine off vinted second hand 😄😄 they usually about £130 brand new

thank you x

Mine too. I make sure I have one stint between a bottle where I just hold him for a few hours (nightmare) if not he will not sleep at all in the day. I also put him in a sleep pod at night in his cot he gives us 3hrs 😩 x

are these safe ? I was always worried they aren’t x

I use it mostly for day time naps
I get so much stuff done
At night I bath him with lavender bath 🛀 and he sleeps well. Will wake up 2/3 hours for feeds but fall back asleep

My newborn has started to do this during the day too at 3 weeks old. He sleeps at night for 3 hours then wakes then repeat though luckily. He gets so overtired and cranky during the day 😫😫😫
