Naps

My LO is 5 weeks old today and he really struggles with day time naps. He is alert and awake for most of the day. I can tell he is tired and when I try and put him down (swaddled) he wakes up and cries and won't go back to sleep. Any suggestions on how to help him become a better napper? Seems like I have to rock him to sleep for most naps.

Re: Naps

  • White noise machine? I put my son down when he is still awake. Usually if they cry for a a while after you lay them down it means that they were up too long. Do you have a consistent naptime routine? Mine consists of me singing him the same song before I lay him down so that he can associate that with naptime and know that it is OK to sleep. We do the CIO method also.
