Hi There!
I'm new to this site so apologies if this problem is addressed elsewhere on this site but I am having a nightmare with my DS (first child).
I am very familiar with the BW book, having watched the TV series and read Tracey's book. I really do like her attitude and approach to raising children, however I am really struggling getting my ten week old son passed the 40 minute transition to deep sleep. In fact, at 10
weeks old he has NEVER had a nap for longer 40 minutes.
The strange thing is, that I can put him down for bed after a bath at 7.30pm, awake, and he will fall asleep happily until 4am for a feed, won't sleep during the day. He will fall asleep initially on his own after his activity, but will not pass 40 minutes. Once he wakes, he is so cranky that I cannot put him down anywhere in the house without him crying, until his next feed (3.5 hours), when the cycle starts again.
As you can imagine this is really geting to me and I am getting very stressed at having a baby that cries literally all day long and I am wishing away the day untill his proper bedtime, which I know is wrong :cry: .
I have tried the Wake to Sleep method and have stopped his actual startled jerks, but instead of him going back to sleep (with my hand still on his chest), he just opens his eyes and smiles for a minute or two and then cries, so I have to take him out of the room, and the cycle starts again.
Please can anyone help?

and Why can he get passed the 40 minutes mark at night but not during the day? He wakes during the night before feed time but happily babbles himself to back to sleep, so why the problems during the day?
Thanks for any advice (please) xxx
