Our 3 month old son will not take naps beyond 45 minutes. We have tried everything.?

Question

He is not hungry, no trapped gas, we try soothing him, letting him cry a little...

Any ideas...

Will this phase pass or is it a habit...??

Answer 1

You are lucky to get 45 minutes!  Mine only slept maybe 5 minutes each nap, about 2 naps a day until she was 6 months old.  All I can say is that it is a phase, b/c I thought something was wrong with my baby.  She slept good at night, but didn't take naps at all during the day for 6 whole months!  It will pass, Don't worry.

Answer 2

First go to the doctors

second play with him until he gets tired and goes to sleep

third play around with is food eat it if u can then try giving it to him.

Answer 3

Is he a good sleeper at night? My little one very seldomly sleeps during the day.  Maybe a 20 minute nap here or there but shes a great sleeper at night.  Maybe he's just not sleepy during the day. At least thats what everyone used to tell me.  We began going to Gymboree 3 times a week at the same tim each day and that helped to set our schedule. It helped my daughter establish a nap schedule for the first time.
