My ds2 is 9 weeks on saturday and has been taking short naps for a couple of weeks now. He usually naps between 45mins-1 hour, which means he can only stay awake an hour including feed, so it's really hard to follow EASY. He's incredibly grumpy in that time too, and needs to be held whihc means i can get nothing done and my 3year old doesnt get much time with me. Obviously he is not getting enough sleep in the day time, but i'm really not sure how to extend his naps. He wont take a paci anymore, he hates pat/shh, the only thing that consoles him is picking him up, and of course its impossible to put him back down then. We have tried white noise, no luck.
Any ideas appreciated... or is it just a case of hoping he grows out of it?
Incidentally, his night time sleep isnt too bad. He has a bath at 6 ish, and then goes down at around 7pm, until 10.30pm when we wake him for a feed, he then goes down at 11.30pm until about 4/5am feeds, then sleeps until 7/8am.
Help!
