7WO and 30 minute naps

[Mypunkin]

My dd is 7 weeks old this week.  She's been taking 30 minute naps for the past week.  She's swaddled, on a 3 hour EASY (bf), and has about 45-60 A time. Has white noise and is in a dark room. Do you think it's just OS/OT because she's so young or could it be something else?  I can sometimes get her to nap longer if I go in at the 20 minute mark and wait for her to wake up with my hands on her legs and arms (yes, she still moves quite a bit in a tight swaddle).  Will she eventually outgrow this?  I have to drop off and pick up my older dd from school during the week so she only gets one or two naps in her bed b/c we're in the car the rest (that's a different post because she doesn't sleep well in the car and screams). Am I expecting too much at this early age?

If anyone has any success stories or tips I'm all ears!  TIA

It appears that somewhere along the line your LO has gotten OT. For the next day or so I would try to keep activities low key and get her back to sleep as close to 45 minutes A time as possible. As for the jolting, they do grow out of this. I noticed with my LO that sleeping in the car got better as she got older too.

Have you tried extending her naps with pat/shh?  That's a great tool that will help for the next several months in helping her learn independent sleep and extend those short naps.   What kind of swaddle are you using?  We used a miracle blanket and it definitely helped Hayden with the jolts.
