My 11 week-old barely naps!

My DD is a great sleeper at night , but not so much during the day. I nurse her, rock her, take her for car rides... nothing works. She'll take 20-minute catnaps here and there, but that's it. And then if she doesn't sleep enough, she's miserable by dinnertime.

Any tips?

No advice, but wanted to give you some Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon b/c my baby does the same thing and I know how hard it is.

Re: My 11 week-old barely naps!

my sweetie was like that around 10 weeks...now he is 13 weeks and he will take 2-3 long naps a day and sleeps all night
Probably a phase don't worry!

tips: maybe try and "tire" her out...I notice that when my DH plays with my DS, my son usually takes a nap afterwards because Daddy plays with him so much and does so many fun things with him!!
I like to try to put my baby down for a nap after he eats too because that seems to be when they can fall asleep
or rock her
you and DC will find a way to work naps out!

What does your DH do?

DD has a thing for music. We spend a lot of time dancing around my living room, lol. Then there's her baby gym and swing, which she likes in small doses. We read every day.

Is it possible that I'm overstimulating her?

Re: My 11 week-old barely naps!

braydon is the same way- once he started sleeping about 8-10 hours it was very hard to get him to take any kind of decent nap

occasionally I will get an hour from him but its rare... I am gonna have to ask them what they do at daycare because for them he naps twice a day and one is always 2 hours

Same here!! Anthony cat naps during the day but STTN. The longest he will sleep during the day is 1-1.5 hours and that's if I'm lucky!
