Nap help

Mine sometimes refuses too and I put the hairdryer or the hoover on and she closes her eyes almost immediately x

tried both. No luck, she’s literally awake all day and if she does nap its 15 mins. We’re struggling so much with it, truly nothing works

My little boy is the same some days, he has reflux and is in pain. We’ve tried it all too. The only thing that has worked occasionally - and definitely not all the time, is stopping trying to force him and letting him do something that will take his energy up. We let him play on his foil mat and sensory toys. He has been awake this morning since 9 (he was awake 6:30-8:30) and is going to sleep on me now after playing with his sensory things for 1 hour kicking around.

Hang in there, it’s so difficult 🫶

I find letting my little one kick around for a solid hour will tire her out x

Have you tried them in a sling? My son struggles when I first put him in it but is usually asleep within 5 mins. I bounce around a bit when I first put him in to try to settle him.

How often are you feeding? Ours was like this until we extended his feeding times to 3-4 hours with bigger bottles. It’s hard at first and he had plenty of melt downs but you just distract them.
He sleeps for 2 hours in the morning and afternoon now and nearly 10 hours at night (with feeds) at nearly 7 weeks. Everything else we tried before that didn’t work and everyone was always commenting at how alert he was all the time!!

We are on that feeding schedule too but no luck with napping at all 😭

yep, sling doesn’t help. It’s so frustrating
