Sleeping during the daytime

Does anyone else find that LO doesn't sleep very well during the daytime?  My LO seems to need A LOT of help getting to sleep during the day.  He's upstairs right now in his cradle with the hairdryer going next to him.

    My DS fights sleep during the day sometimes.  I think it is because they are too interested in what is going on around them.  When I know he is really sleepy, I swaddle him, put a pacifier in and put him in his crib.  He is usually asleep within 10 minutes.

    DS doesn't like to take daytime naps.  I can usually get him to nap in his swing in the morning, but by afternoon, he's awake and needing to be entertained.  Yesterday he was awake and fussing/crying from 12 until 6:30 when DH was finally able to get him to fall asleep on his chest.  Right now I'm trying to get DS to sleep in his swing so I can tidy up and shower.  I have a newborn photo shoot this afternoon and this boy better decide to nap before then.

    He keeps spitting the d*** pacifier out.  I'm thinking about making one of those pacifier holders with a beanie baby.

    This started yesterday for us. I swaddled her and it seemed to do the job.

    My LO puts himself to sleep at night. I just lay him in the PNP and he goes to sleep.

    During the day, it's a different story. We have to rock, swing, walk, bouce & he still may not nap!!!

    It's like this for us too. I can tell when she's tired but she fights it. BWing usually does the trick, but I have to basically walk circles around my house. She will nap in her bouncer her but I have to bounce her the whole time. Oh well, at least she's a good night sleeper.

    Mine is the exact opposite!  She sleeps like a dream during the day, but we really struggle to get her to fall asleep at night.  Once she's out, she sleeps for 4-5 hours at a stretch, but it's h*** getting her down (at night).  During the day she sleeps 2-3 hours about an hour after her bottle.  If I cuddle her after playing, she conks out & I move her to her lamb seat.  I kind of wish I had your problem only because nights have been rough this week.  Good luck!
