I honestly don't know! Just try to figure out what helps her go down and then turn that into as consistent of a routine as you can now- you'll thank yourself later 🙃 Also, be ready for what "works" right now to change frequently at this age. We made a list of ALL the things that worked and hung it on the wall... When she would fight sleep/ get fussy we would go down the list, and sometimes you'll need to go back to something you already did AFTER you do something else 🥴 You've got this! 👊❤️

Same!! Turned 7 weeks yesterday and it’s the worst night we’ve had. NOTHING settled him! I’m just hoping it’s another leap/ growth phase.

I had this exact same problem until I read that babies don’t fight sleep generally, they’re just not tired! Her nap gaps are probably just getting longer and she isn’t tired x

Also looking for help on this. She cries so much nowadays and I’m pretty sure this is why. She’ll be 8 weeks tomorrow

At around this time they fully realise there is world around them and from my very limited personal experience this is when the sleep nightmare starts (for some -me). I resorted to feeding to sleep but this can backfire spectacularly in the future if you change your mind 😂 you got this ladies - it won’t last forever xx
