Lack of sleep
My baby sleeps well over the night, she normally gets about 10-12 hours with short wakes for feeds. But when it comes to sleep during the day, it seems like she can't fall asleep for longer than 30 mins.. not always, she sometimes sleeps beautifully, but most of the times, she would literally take a short power nap and then be wide awake for next 2-3 hours. Any ideas of what I can do to help her fall asleep during the day?

Mine used to be the same with short power naps, I contacted the HV and they said it’s so normal, some babies just need a short burst to recharge after all of the mental stimulation! My son is almost 7 months and only sleeps for long periods in the car or the pram on a walk! Otherwise it’s short a speedy sleep🤣
How is it a lack of sleep? My 👶 also have similar naps. 30 min 4 times a day and then sleeps at night it's completely normal

Sorry, not got any advice but my son has been the same since he was about 2months old. He sleeps 8-11hours through the night but is awake most of the day. I’d much rather a good night sleep but can make it a little difficult during the day as he will nap 20 minutes here and there. Being in the car or pushchair helps him to sleep a little longer
