Always wanting to nap (during the day)
My 5 month old is ALWAYS tired and I’m finding it so hard to do things with her as she’s getting tired 30/40 mins max after waking. She used to be a really good napper but a few works ago started doing the 30 - 40 mins max naps and is harder to settle to get them in however within 30/40 mins of waking she’s wanting to go back to sleep. I’ve tried pushing it but she becomes hysterical if left too late and is even harder to settle.
Her sleep at night isn’t the best however never has been.
Anyone experiencing the same?

We’re currently going through the same ! It’s becoming so noticeable that my mum even suggested the drs however mt little doesn’t seem poorly etc x
@Ellie same! When she is awake she’s happy/playful and always smiling but 30/40 mins later she’s rubbing her eyes and head and starts getting a little grumpy x
Babies go through a big developmental leap around 5 months so might sleep a lot more in the day to process new skills etc that they're learning :)

She will nap in the pram/contact and in the car. She’s EBF with one bottle of expressed milk a day. She also has porridge in the mornings .. although I doubt that makes any difference 😂
