What do you do when you pat/shhh during entire nap time?

[Megan1969]

Hi - what do you do when you pat shhh during entire nap time?  My baby is only 3 weeks so i know she is tired but when she fusses and cries during her entire nap time do i get her up as usual when its time to feed?  Or do i keep going and try to get her to sleep for at least a few minutes to teach her that she needs to get herself to sleep?

this only happens during the day, she sleeps like a dream at night only waking every 4 hours to be fed.  During the day i dont let her go any longer than 3-3.5 hours.

thanks, Megan
