My lo refuses to sleep in bed for more than a few minutes

[TamarMes]

Hi,
My lo is 10 weeks old. We were having a BW schedule for the past 3 weeks, putting him to sleep with shh/pat on the hands and later in his bed.
In the last 3-4 days his naps have gone down to ~40 minutes, with possily equal time to fall asleep. Than he would wake up, screaming, and would not sleep again.
We tried to calm him back to sleep, with long minutes of shh/pat, while he is crying out.
Currently, every nap he is crying to sleep, and if we place him in his bed he will sleep maybe 40 minutes, and later in the day less than 10, and wake up screaming.
I do not think this is related to hunger, since if he sleeps on the hands, he continues to sleep, and can even miss the next meal by 1 hour.
Currently in the last 2 days, it is very hard to keep any kind of rutine (eating or sleeping), and for the majority of the good sleeps, he is on our hends.

Please help!

(((hugs))) and welcome to the boards!

How long is your baby awake before you start putting him down for his nap?

[TamarMes]

He is usually awake for around 50mins to 1 hr before we start the going to sleep rutine.
He is a spirited one, so when he gets overworked we try to go to nap. Waiting for a first yawn doesn't help too much

If it is taking him 40 mins to fall asleep, you may need to start shush-pat and wind-down earlier, so that he can be asleep no more than 1hr20 mins after he woke up. What happens if you stay with him while he sleeps, can you gently put your hands on him and try to keep him asleep when he stirs? Is he swaddled?

If he has a short nap and won't resettle, remember you will need to bring his next nap much earlier so that he doesn't get overtired.
