Hello everyone,
My little girl is nearly 11 weeks old and for the last two weeks she has just stopped sleeping during the day. She's not overly grumpy or anything and sort of takes cat naps when she needs to but I can put her to bed and she will still be laying there wide awake two hours later! Luckily she doesn't really make much of a fuss although sometimes she does! I've just started a new routine because my health centre told me that at her age she should only be awake for 1-1 1/2 hours at a time (including a feed) so once this time has passed I put her to bed and try not to get her out until she is due for her next bottle. Has anyone else had this problem? How much sleep does a baby this age actually need? I am lucky though that she sleeps well at night. Last night she had her tea time bottle at 5:30 and didn't wake until 1am and then slept again until 7 am.
I would appreciate opinions on how to get her to sleep again during the day because I really think she needs it.
