13 week old … 30 min naps!!
My lg has never been the best at napping (even as a newborn). I can put her down in next to me and comfort her to sleep but 30 min later she’s awake again. I’ve tried leaving her and getting her back to sleep but nothing works. She will then get up and in an hour starts getting tired again but I try to stretch her wake window to 1.5/ 2 hours but still 30 min and she’s awake.
Usually nighttime she is great will sleep 5 hours but last night every hour she was stirring and I had to settle her again.
Any tips would be hugely appreciated!

I think they have short naps when they are overtired. 2 hour wake window might be too long for your little one, do you watch for sleepy cues and get her down for a nap as soon as you see those? Some babies need more sleep than others, so maybe a shorter wake window will promote longer naps? Does she sleep longer if it's a contact nap? My boy won't nap in his next2me for long, but sleeps alot better if he's cuddled 😊
Yeah usually 1.5 hours when she starts to yawn. So put her down straight away. We do some contact naps but want to try and put her down for some too.
I’m wondering if she’s going through a sleep regression?
Mine naps for 30 mins too and only twice a day, but sleeps all night x
Mines the same, normally only 30-45 minute naps in his next to me. His wake windows last around 1.5-2 hours which is the recommended for his age. But he sleeps 10-12 hours at night x
We have just put her to bed as normal and usually she would sleep a good 5/6 hours but she’s woke after 30 min 😫. Settling down again but needs me to soothe her each time.
