Are you in the same room, cosleep or leave them in their own room?
Have you tried the Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit — our baby used to not nap in daytime alone but this was a game changer!
@Vanessa mine hates it so much it at least last time we tried
How long are their wake windows?
@Vanessa do you put to her to sleep in your arms first or does she fall asleep on her own? @Samantha we Colleen otherwise she will never do down
I follow huckleberry premium naps so about 90 to 120 minutes
I put her to sleep in arms first then set her down. During naps she falls asleep quickly in (except about 1 time per day). For bedtime I breastfeed with the suit zipped up only halfway to make it easier for me to do so. Then we zip her up once she is asleep after setting her down
We also use the huckleberry app! She only naps for 30 minutes at a time in the daytime with an occasional (1.5 hr stretch 1x/day
It can also be a sleep regression! @wellrestedweeones on Instagram just posted about this! (4th reel on feed)
Yes. Baby girl fights sleep every time unless I lay her on my chest. That’s the only way I can get her to take naps.
This happens all the time when they get over tired. Sometimes a mini bottle will help. I’ll make 2oz (or stick them on a boob) to soothe them and help them fall asleep. Other things that can help is rocking in your arms, a swing or something like that. My son needed a swing often to calm down. It was one of the only ways he’d sleep, and then I’d just watch him to make sure he would be okay. Bedtimes I would very very carefully move him to his bassinet keeping that rocking motion and then once in the bassinet I’d rock the bassinet until I seen he was fully asleep. My twins are now having this issue but it’s because they are rolling and can’t get comfortable, and they are beating each other up. I’m gonna have to separate them if this continues, but they also cry when they aren’t together so I’m at a loss right now. 😭
My daughter wakes up screaming, but in a playful way. She does it all the time… shes super loud. I believe it’s them finding their own way to communicate to get attention without crying. It’s part of their exploration of sound and language development.
Huckleberry’s a good tool, but it’s taking the average of lots of babies and every baby is different. I would try following your baby’s cues. Sometimes my girl only wants to be awake for 1 hour, sometimes she wants to be awake for 3. It could also be the 4 month sleep regression though, in which case you just have to hang in there 🤞🏻
Yep. Sometimes 1hr+. She then gets overtired and I have to put her in one of the carriers and wear her to get her to nap . I think it's just a developmental fomo phase
