Hello mummies
my girl is currently 3.5 mo, and has been having nap problems. She fights sleep and can totally not nap throughout the day. Though we sleep trained her at 2.5 months mark for bedtime and is successful, it seemed like she is entering the 3-5 month sleep regression.
When she is napping poorly, her bedtime suffers. And so is her feeding. I wish that she can nap at least 2 hours (minimum expectation), so that she is more rested.
My girl is not on pacifier (we weaned off at 2.5 month mark), and has a little ability to self soothe. She is still learning. She has a routine but can't stick to it due to her refusal to nap when it is time to. We need to constantly adjust the schedule, and ended up much dependent on her sleep cues. Nap routine would be - feed to ensure she has a full tummy, bring her up to my shoulder, sing Twinkle twinkle little star while patting her back, rub her back a few times after the song, lay her down in her crib, say 'nap nap time, time to sleep.' And I would leave the room.
now, no matter how many times I repeat the routine, it does not work anymore. Am really very tired.
Can mummies advise me what else can I do?
