URGENT HELP PLEASE!!!

[~BeckyD~]

our 9 week old ds is a good night sleeper but not so good during the day, can anyone help?!
Basically he wakes around 7am and has a 6oz feed, I then put him into cot when I see he is tired, usually around 8.30.  I am then lucky if he sleeps for 2 hours, and will then feed another 6oz at 10.30 or 11.
I then try to put him back to sleep around 12.30 or 1 as soon as he seems tired but for the past few days he will drift off and then be awake within 10 or 15 mins.  I try to pat shush him back off but most times we will eventually be so ed off I end up getting him up again. 
Then he has 6oz bottle at 2.30 or 3 and again try to put him down to sleep around 4.
Usually he will whinge for a couple of hours in his cot with me either giving in and putting him in his swing so i can get on with tea or keep going in to him and giving him his dummy.
Then he will eventually be asleep by about 6 by which time it is almost time for his bottle and bed routine, so he only has 1 hour sleep at that point.
Then he has a bath around 7.30 and top up feed at 8.30, is asleep by 9 and then dreamfeed at 10.30, and then start all over again at 7 am.  I cannot complain about night time sleep but how do I get a more structured day time nap routine?

Hi Becky -  have you tried putting him down for his naps after 45 minutes or 1 hour? Perhaps  he is overtired and that's why he isn't sleeping so well? It does seem backwards that they won't sleep if they are overtired but it certainly is the case!
When Molly was 9 weeks she was only staying awake for about 45 minutes (that included her eating time) before she was showing signs of tiredness and needing to be put back to sleep.
JMO, give it a try  :lol:

I'll echo that...... Caeden seems to do much better if I put him to sleep sooner then later. Sometimes he goes up to 2 hours between naps but that usually means it is hard to get him down, when he is closer to an hour he is much better.
