    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=19765">Disco</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 31019<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 19 January 2010 at 9:22am<br /><br />I have a ten week old little girl who still does exactly that! Doesn't want to go to sleep and then has a massive catch up sleep every few days. She also lies there for ages staring. So I leave her for a while and then go in and gently rock her and a lot of the time she falls asleep. I also play white noise which helps. <br /><br />This morning though she had been in there for a good half hour and was starting to make restless not happy noises. So i went in and said "for goodness sake your supposed to be asleep, now go to sleep". I bounced her hammock once and went to put some clean clothes in her drawers, when I turned around she was zonked out LOL! this is the second time it's happened!<br /><br />Apart from just keep persisting and not to get stressed out about it, I don't think there's much you can do, you can't force them to go to sleep. Putting her in her bassinet with no stimulation is good. I went to the plunket family center and the lady there put her to sleep by boring her, by not being able to see anything and rocking.<br /><br />I started doing this last week and it was starting to work but we then went away for the weekend and it went out the window, so am starting again today. They say sleep begets sleep so I am trying hard to get her off to a good start to the day with a good nap after her first feed. I also made a note of how long she was sleeping, a bi of a pain but at least i could add up the hours and see that it wasn't quite as bad as I thought. Just longer naps would be good.<br /><br />I think some babies need a little help in learning how to go to sleep :)<br /><br />disco<br /><br />]]>

Will pop her in the sling and see how she goes.  Will also try  leaving her in her bassinet rather than her playmat.  Its so nice to know that others have had similar babies!]]>

I remember getting so stressed as she wasn't sleeping during the day but she was mostly happy. I second Mama2N- wrap her up and wear her- a sling or moby and she will drop off and you can get things done without worrying about her.<br /><br />I wouldn't leave her on the floor- if she is under a play gym she will probably get over stimulated and that will make it harder for her to go to sleep.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=21854">Mamma2N</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 31019<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 18 January 2010 at 10:37am<br /><br />My DD was also like this at your DDs age.  Slept like a dream during the night, had one 3-4 hour sleep during the day, but could very happily stay up longer than most people would allow their babes.  <br /><br />From memory I didn't leave her awake in her bassinet.  She is demand fed and was always fed to sleep before being placed in her bed.  My only suggestion would be to wear her.  Have you got a carrier at all?  Like a wrap?  You could wrap baby up on you and go about your business.  Babies that small (in fact all babies) thrive on being close to their mammas.  You would probably find that she will drop off to sleep as well.  It is comforting and relaxes them and if you pottering around the place, your movement should certainly help her nod off.  <br /><br />HTH and congratulations!  <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> I soooo miss those newborn snuggles <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"> ]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=22222">schnooks</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 31019<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 18 January 2010 at 10:18am<br /><br />My 1 month baby usually sleeps well at night - usually goes to sleep at 11pm, then wakes for a feed between 3-4a.m. waking in the mirning between 7-8.  I am happy with this - especially at this age - I think!!<br />My problem is that she doesn't sleep much during the day. Maybe one 3or 4 hour stretch.  She feeds off and on every 2 hours or so, but is happy with cuddles of playing(lying )on the floor.She doesn't appear tired, and doesn't cry.  If I put her in her bassinet she just lays there awake.<br /><br />Has anyone had any experience like this?Should I just leave her in her bassinet or leave her on the floor on her mat?]]>
