I have a 7 week old baby who refuses to sleep during the day. I put him in his cot drowsy, and he will instantly be alert, looking around and talking to himself. He fights sleep the whole time, falling sleep and waking himself up as soon as his eyes close. It is almost like he doesn't want to miss out on anything. When he does fall asleep, after screaming for up to 30 minutes he will sleep for only 30 - 45 minutes, I than have to resettle which can take another 30 minutes. At times I rock him to sleep because he is so tired I can't settle him in his cot, as soon as I put him down he is awake and crying. It is like he doesn't like the cot at all and would prefer to sleep in my arms. I don't know what to do, it is starting to effect his night sleeping which has always been good.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
