Little B is now 4 weeks old and just won't sleep/nap during the day - we are trying to get her into some sort of routine, roughly based around what she does anyway but she just won't nap during the day. At the moment she roughly does -
7am - feed due to colic/reflux 30 min of upright burping and snooze (after all feeds) - back to bed for light sleep until around 10
10am - feed, awake, looking around not really settled until
12/1 ish - feed,
3pm ish - feed and maybe if luckly a 45min to 2 hour nap - if we are luckly!!!
5 or 6pm demands more food then completely awake until bedtime at 1030. During this time she will just demand more food and more food constantly breast feeding til around 10 (she will fall alseep on breast, take her off she will wake about 10 minutes later crying only thing that will placate her is more booby!) until 10pm when we give her a top up bottle of formula at bed time.
She sometimes wakes at 12, not normally much now and then at 4ish and back to 7am.
We do bath and bed routine at 7, but she will just not go down for a nap at any time, we tried basket in own quiet room, own room with music the living room etc at various times during the day.
I am worried she is uber feeding in the evening, not just for cluster feeding but as she is tried and cranky..
All the books I have looked at suggest insigating a routine and 'setting' the baby - but they don't say how!!!!!
HELP!!!
