11wk newborn will not nap anymore. pretty much all day! unless I am in the car, he won't nap. At home, I cannot get him to nap, in crib or swing. Sometimes if I rock the carseat he sleeps for a bit 20 min and then stirs again. We have a 2.5yo so that doesn't help with him screaming around the house. How does everyone do this? I am about to lose my mind. Please tell me I can change his napping habits in the future, I am freaking out. Poor baby! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Going through similar situation with 5 mo old right now, I feel your frustration! It's progressively gotten worse the past two weeks, although I have been able to get her to take a few naps, but most are only 30 min long. Does DB cry as soon as you lay him down for a nap? [ Reply | More

sometimes, but sometimes he lays awake and then eventually cries a bit. not a huge crier, just not a sleeper! [ Reply | More

Yes, my DD either fusses and crescendos to a scream or immediately starts crying when laid down. I'm trying to figure out how to get her to soothe herself to sleep since she used to fall asleep after feeding but all of a sudden she no longer does, not sure why? I was able to get her to sleep in her buggy today since she likes laying quietly in there for walks - had to move it back and forth for a while and another time I hung a little mobile above her. Also got her to sleep in her crib for 30 min by constantly pulling the string of one of those musical crib toys (for ~15 min) [ Reply | More

^^ Check out this website http://www.babycareadvice.com It has some really good info about infant sleep cycles. We actually had our DD on pepcid for a while because we thought she had reflux, now I'm pretty sure it was just overtiredness. I noticed today that if DD gets cranky and I calmed her down and tried putting her down right away she never fell asleep. I had to do a little 5-10 min activity and get her laughing a little or interested in a toy. Then when she looked a little tired I put her down and that worked better, but not all the time. I think it helps to distract them a little so that they haven't been recently fussy. [ Reply | More
