My baby doesn’t like to sleep????

Maybe it because she teething

maybe after she eats, shes not sitting up long enough and is getting stomach pains. gas and all. make sure u burp her afterward and keep her sitting upright or laying upright some for a while after eating.

My daughter was like this for over 2 years. She is 6 now and still stays up way later than other kids her age. We tried everything, and absolutely nothing worked. From no naps to 4 naps a day, nothing made any difference. I wish i could give you useful advice, and you’ll likely hear alot of advice, i can almost guarantee you that nothing will work. Trust me, We tried everything.
And any parent who can use the “cry it out” method and not feel like monsters need to have their kids taken away!
But dont worry, different kids need different amounts of sleep. Just like adults. She will sleep as much as she needs to. The only thing that might work is to make sure that she doesnt have to much fun and playtime directly before bedtime or first thing in the morning. That way, she wont feel like sleep will make her miss anything fun.

I’m not sure if I can answer your question but just letting you know that I was in the same boat. Until I put her in her cot or cradle each sleeping time after rocking her to sleep and I started giving her solids at 3 months she has been now sleeping 2-3 hours 3-4 times a day and 7-9 hours through the night. Also a lot of stimulation gets her really tired. Use baby panadole and bonjello teething gel for teething.

Is this new or how it has been since birth?
It could be teething.

However, sleeping 4 hour and then eating and then sleeping for another 4 hours sounds about right. (My husband and I celebrated when our baby went 4 hours in between meals, For a long time it was every 2.) Milk simply doesn’t stay in the stomach long and the baby’s stomach is small- so she needs to eat more frequently.

My baby only had 2 naps a day. I found a swing helped a great deal. If he napped in the swing he slept longer.

And 11:30 sounds about right, but we are night owls ourselves. (Our baby would go to bed at 12:30.) However, I remember reading that most baby need a midnight feeding for a while.

Be careful with co-sleeping and sleeping on her stomach as it can lead to “crib death.” Talk to your doctor about how to do this safely or what to do instead.

If she is crying a lot and has colic. Look up the fussy baby network web page for help. They provide support to parents of fussy babies.

Good luck, this will pass.

babies 0-1 year have a very irratic sleeping pattern changes.
but if she is comfortable, not having a wet nappy, not very
hungry and in a comfortable environment, am sure those are some factors to consider in order for a baby to have a sound sleep

You may want check for any food allergies , also if you are into it visit a a homeopathic doctor. I am 45 and I had this problem when I was a baby and a chlid and I still sometimes (well alot of times)have this problem . I know that breathing is important( i find that I don’t breath when stressed and even when I am just thinking ) and not breathing properly can cause problems. Check for resperatory problems

A baby so young is not going to have huge stints of sleep time just a couple of hours or so at a time. In the first 3 months babies sleep whenever they have the inclination, so long as they have some of the basics: being dry, warm and fed and burped. After 3 months they start to become more aware of their surroundings and stay up for longer stints during the day. When they grow, so does the stomach allowing longer sleeps.

Incidently, you cannot spoil a child under 6 months – if she’s crying, follow your motherly instinct and comfort her. Letting your child cry it out is as hard on the parent as it is on the child. More concerning is I recently heard on Dr. Phil that a child who cries for prolonged stints of time raises their blood pressure which stops the flow of new oxygenated blood to the head and will eventually cause brain cell loss.

At 6 months I was still having trouble getting my son to sleep, I read the “no cry sleep solution”. It helped me understand baby’s sleep cycle, how much and how often my child should sleep at varioius ages, and what to do to establish sleep routines (for naps and night sleeps) that enabled my son to have long sleeps by himself, without crying. After a month of an established routine, my son became a great sleeper. I really recommend the read…and for those fussy days, I found a baby swing really helped stimulate sleep and give your arms a rest.
