Nighttime/ daytime help
My baby girl is 2 months tomorrow she only has 30 min naps throughout the day if that, she is still only tiny nearly 9lbs.. I try to do the feed play nap routine throughout the day however she often falls asleep after a feed and I feel terrible waking her, I tend to change her after bottle to wake her up that way but I don’t know if that’s the right
Thing to do? She feeds every 2-3 hours still and at night will at most go 4.. I’m stuck with what I’m doing tbh and how to help her sleep better at night. Advice please?

Ours also keeps falling asleep during feeds, she has been like that since the start. So what worked for me was play and do tummy time etc as soon as, then only feed when she shows hunger cues, she will fall asleep, then keep burping her, if she doesn't wake up in like 15ish minutes then I'd wake up her by changing, then play a bit more and finish the feed and she falls asleep to it. This helps us to finish 4/5oz bottles and then she'll nap for like 3/4 hours. Maybe try that? X
It's natural to sleep after a feed! Play before! Feeding every 3 hours is normal - they have tiny tummies. 4 hours is fantastic! Enjoy and know you're getting more sleep than many of us!
@natasha don't worry about routine yet!

This is the same for me except I haven’t been doing feed play nap I’m just letting her do what she wants! Probably why she isn’t getting into a routine!!
