My 12 week old has never been a good independent napper. I started trying shh/pat several weeks ago with varying success. Sometimes he would fall asleep only to wake again in 30 minutes. Sometimes he will fall asleep and then wake up furiously sucking his fists, as if hungry, even though he only nursed 1-1.5 hours ago.
At this point, he is sleeping very little during the day and every nap time has turned into a battle, with him screaming and me pleading with him to fall asleep. It seems that not only are the nap problems continuing, now they're affecting his nighttime sleep. He's been awake now for 4 hours, and won't fall asleep, regardless of what we do (pat/shh, rock, walk around, nurse, etc). Help! He used to be a great night sleeping, falling asleep around 8 pm and waking around 6 am with one night time feed. Any ideas? I'm at my wit's end.
