Daytime nap routine

That's amazing sleep! Contact naps are completely normal at her age but I know it feels like you're there all day! Will she nap in a carrier or in the pram?

I cannot believe that you’re getting that sleep at night. My LG is 9 weeks in a couple of days and I’m celebrating when I get three hours in a row. She also won’t sleep in the day much at all. I get about 15 mins when I’ve put her down before she notices and screams murder. It’s normal though and should get better in a month ish apparently

My first was a contact napper and this subsided when she was about 12 weeks.

Thank you guys, didn’t want to come across as bragging with her night sleeping as I know I am extremely lucky. I just didn’t know if that’s maybe why she wants contact naps at day time because she’s a good night sleeper. As a first time mum it’s all new to me and I appreciate all the advice and support I can get. She does sleep in her pram or in the car but I’d love for us to have as much structure in the day as we do at night. But I also understand I can’t have it all 🤣

Thank you Alexandra, this is exactly how I see it 🥹 just difficult on the days where I need to get things done. Just having an emotional day today these postpartum TOTM’s are so difficult everything seems a lot. I just see all these insta mums who seem in such good routines and I feel like we are at night but not in the day.

You’ve made my day, thank you!! 🥹🥹

I'd have said exactly like Alexandra, she needs to be close to you during the day because she sleeps so well at night. It will pass soon, I'm sure but I can see how frustrating that can be. Maybe a baby carrier would help you to get things done during the day?

Ohhh how lucky you are! Here i am jealous with a 7week old baby that wakes up every 2hrs 🤦🏻‍♀️ you would rather have it that way than sleep during the day and contact napping at night! Hope it gets even easier for you! We are all on the same boat 🤗

So lucky with those night stretches! I use a baby wrap during the day when my baby needs a contact nap. That way you can get stuff done, feel productive and still give them the contact they need. I have a boba wrap and it's been a game changer. I have a 2 year old so can't afford to lie down with her for hours to help her sleep.

@Claudia I have a boba wrap too but feel like I struggle to do stuff because I’m worried about his neck/head. I took the dog for a walk whilst using it and had to do a deep squat to pick up the poop 🤣 Do you manage to do stuff round the house whilst using the wrap?

@Danielle yes, I can go on and do stuff in the house as usual. I have a toddler and can play around with him, change his nappy on the floor, dishes, laundry etc. You just need to make sure it's tight, then you wouldn't worry at all about his neck. I used this video to learn how to use it and found it very helpful: https://youtu.be/Ns65VeG4Oxs?feature=shared
