14 week old not napping for long enough 🥴

No advice sorry but I’m in exactly the same position with my 14 week old! Trying to be led by her but she just won’t sleep some days 🫠

I don’t even think my 10 week old gets 10 hours! She has small 10/20 minute naps after feeding 2/3 times during the day and sleeps 7 hours at night 😳

My girl sleeps pretty well but only because she was sick to death of being disturbed when she was in the living room in her Moses basket🤣 (I was in the same boat, 20 mins here and there or contsct napping and I was a mumma with a dead arm)
So now she sleeps upstairs in my room in the next to me and I put a monitor in and she sleeps for an hour morning, 12.30-3 and sometimes 4.30-6 x

My 12 week old is the same... Will only do 30 mins in the cot then I have to contact nap. It really isn't ideal but I was in the same position where she gets sooo over tired in the evening....last night it took us 3.5 hours to get her to bed

We have never hit the 14hrs in 24hr aim, but I think partly because it's difficult for them to link their sleep cycles at this age. Hopefully as they get older the naps will get longer. We are putting him in his next 2 me with swaddle and white noise and lights off which has helped a little but it's still different every day length wise.

My lo never sleeps longer than 30/45mins in his cot during the day but can do hours when taken out in the pram so we always make sure to go out for a walk even if it’s just to the shop and back. He’s 14 weeks tomorrow

I’ve started trying to follow wake windows as I’ve been in the same position I found he sleeps for hours in the pram or on me but I’ve been putting him upstairs multiple times a day he only sleeps mostly 30-45 mins sometimes an hour but I didn’t want him depending on sleeping on me and the pram x

We were in the same boat two weeks ago but we (think) fixed it by having a comfort cuddly toy during nap time. Today I actually had to wake her up from her nap. Another thing that helped us was outdoor walks. Hopefully this helps but again all babies are different!

tell me more!!! Are you keeping the room a certain way? Playing music? White noise?

do you just put him down once that nap time is here?

hey hun, she sleeps in the next to me in my room however I keep it somewhat the same as night routine…fan on, curtains drawn and dummy. At night though she has a sleeping bag but for naps nothing (mainly because she kicks it off) but I also want her to associate sleeping bag with bedtime.
We’ve been doing the same routine for bedtime also for 2 months and it really works and she sleeps through the night too!
Naps are hit and miss don’t get me wrong but she sleeps for a long period of time and we always stick to wake windows x

I find going for walks help my girl will instantly be asleep once in the pram or carrier. I’ve started to go on a 1.30 hour walk everyday with my dogs and she sleeps the whole way round. I know everyone can’t do this and all babies are different x

so after he’s woke up from a nap I know for his age he’s 14 weeks this week I have roughly 1.5-2hrs of awake time before he needs to go back down so I put him in swaddle with dummy and blackout blinds closed and past few days he’s been napping with a comforter toy I move to where he can’t see me and he might cry for a bit and I just keep going back popping dummy in and rocking next to me and eventually he goes

Thanks for your comments everyone! ❤️

My girl won’t sleep in the pram 🙄 I do use the baby carrier a lot but lately she barely. Lasts 30 mins asleep in that!

All our naps are contact naps, I can’t even get her on the bed next to me in the day without her waking up 😩
