Hi I hope I can get some help and advice. My daughter is 5 months and has always been a terrible day napper, will fall asleep after nursing but as soon as put her in her cot wakes up and really difficult to get to sleep even with rocking, bouncing and sssshhhhing. Only time she falls asleep easily is in the car or in the pram but even so this can take a while sometimes. She is now so over tired that it is affecting her nighttime sleep, I have tried to set a routine but the day time goes out the window when I spend 2 hours or more just trying to get her to have 1 nap which if does happen only lasts a maximum of half an hour, normally less.
For the last week she falls asleep after nursing around 8pm but will only sleep for a maximum of 3 hours (sometimes it's only 2 hours) then I have to feed her again and she only sleeps for an hour and then it can take me upto 2 hours to get her back to sleep again for an hour or less of sleep. I'm at my wits end now and severely sleep deprived my self now and struggling to function with normal day time duties! Desperate for any advice that can help me solve my babies sleep issues. TIA
