I’m getting concerned. My almost 7 week old is barely sleeping during the day even with contact naps! She will spend hours awake and I try to get her to sleep but she won’t! She’s fed, diaper changed and burped but just alert and fighting her sleep even in a dark quiet room. She gets fussy but doesn’t want to sleep.
I’m worried about her development as she’s really lacking sleep during the day and I can see it in her face she’s tired but will not sleep, 20 minutes and she’ll be up again.

Hey! My son turned 6 weeks on Tuesday and the past 48 hours he was the exact same! Wouldn’t settle during the day, no naps unless he was on me even though he was great at independently sleeping beforehand! Feeding a lot more than usual and a lot more nappy changes but I can assure you what your baby is doing right now means her development is coming along GREAT! This is a growth spurt she is having which is what is expected at this age but I promise it only lasts a few days! My boys gone back to normal today and has napped on his own🥰 I hope this reassured you abit x
