My baby won't nap in the day 😭

My LO is 7 weeks old and used to nap in the day and now he will mostly go down ok at night but won't sleep in the day unless you hold him. Been like this now for two weeks, not sure what to do. Any advice or tips? I need my arms back 🤣

Baby sling or carrier for closeness but allows you to do stuff? My baby is pretty dimilar at 5 weeks. He feeds every 2 hours on the dot through the day and night so I rarely get stuff done in-between anyway haha

Yes this is very common!! Happened to me too! Unfortunately a lot of the 4th trimester was spent sitting on the couch while baby slept on me! A sling definitely helps so you can use the loo and eat or go for a walk! Netflix is your best friend and have food, water and books at hand!

completely normal, contact naps in a sling, baby needs you now theyre adjusting to outside you xx

Does baby sleep through the night? I noticed those with babies sleeping through have issues with them not sleeping during the day. I would take a full night any day 😆

@Christabelle no not at all lol. Wish he slept through the night, just mean I can put him down at night with out the screaming v day. He sleeps 3hr at a time throughout the night :)

@Sam same here 3h at a time lol. Maybe during the day you put him down when overtired? Usually harder to settle. I stick to the wake windows of 2hrs and it seems easier. I think for 7 weeks it would be closer to 45 mins to 60mins

Sucks doesn't it every 3 hours but I know it will get better soon hopefully 🙏. So if we are out and about he sleeps fine in the day but at home just won't have any of it lol. I think I need to use the sling more at home. X
