10 week old will not day time nap. Help!

Our ten week old girl will not and I mean will not day time nap. We are talking consistently awake for 6 hours plus daily. The idea that she will nap 4/5 times a day for half an hour to two hours is absolutely laughable at this point.
We have tried everything for a week at a time to give her consistency and nothing works. She is so so over tired and angry all day. Any tips??
We’ve tried: swaddle, dark room, white noise, shushing, swaying, sling, pram, car, cuddles and contact.

We have, we have the tommee tippee one, it helps her in the night but not all during the day, it’s so strange / infuriating 😂

My 7wo is an absolute nap fighter. Takes us forever to get her to nap... LOTS of rocking (either I'm arms or sling) bum patting and white noise

we are the same most of the time 10 weeks today.
Nothing really helps and overtired baby is the worst thing. 😓

I’m literally on my knees with it. Honestly can’t take another bloody sleep schedule reel on instagram. Feel like such a failure

My girl is a sleep fighter too or she goes off for 10 mins and is awake again, only sleeps well if she’s in the car

Are yours upset in between when they don't nap?

she cries constantly. Every second she’s awake and not having a bottle

Mine isn’t upset but can rarely be left on her own in jungle gym etc without need entertainment or attention. She just likes to be with me. She even struggles to settle with her dad. Mine can get to sleep but can’t stay asleep

@Chloe mine has smaller moments of being happy now in her bouncer but then she gets really tired and cries but then I rock her for about 20 mins to actually get her to sleep then she just fusses even when she is asleep!

@Sophie bless her! I think that's the thing if she was happy I wouldn't mind her being awake!

Does she like the baby carrier? My baby often refuses naps at home, doesn’t settle in the bouncer and hates the pram. The only way I can guarantee a nap is a long walk in the baby carrier! He falls asleep immediately!

I wouldn't say she likes it but it's the only way I can get her down atm. I put her in and she cries until she falls asleep. Use it round the house to do naps on days like today where it hasn't stopped raining. Hoping at some point this all changes!

Wow. At 5.30 I had the motivation to try out my LO down in the moses since she'd been fussy all day. I had to resettle her twice when her dummy fell out but since has been asleep for 2hrs!! It might never happen again but I never ever thought she'd do that! She never even settles on me for 20mins after loads of rocking. I now have to wake her up as otherwise she won't go to bed 🙈

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
