My 10-week old sleeps pretty well at night - not consistent yet, but never wakes up more than twice when I put her down at 6:45 p.m. and she is back up at 7:00 a.m. (either wakes around midnight and 5:00 a.m. to breastfeed - sometimes only wakes once at around 3:00 or 4:00 a.m.). However, during the day, I can rarely get her to nap longer than 30-45 minutes at a time (about 4 times a day). Every once in a while, maybe twice a week, she'll pull out a 1.5-2 hour nap. Generally I put her down and she naps soundly and then wakes after 30-45 minutes...she's smiling when she wakes, but also seems very tired still (still yawning a lot, eyes are heavy when I rock her, etc), so if I rock her for a few minutes and maybe give her a pacifier, she's back down for another 30 minutes or more most times. I feel like all I do is try to put her to sleep all day though! And she still seems tired in that she seems to rub her eyes a lot. I try to never keep her awake more than 90 minutes straight (once a week I got to a Mom's group at church for three hours and she never can nap well there so she's always very tired afterwards - I may drop the group just because of her naps suffering). Anyway, has anyone else had this issue and had any success "fixing" it? Do I just need to wait it out? I have never let her "cry it out" as I'm not quite ready for that when she's only 10-weeks old...and am not quite sure I'll ever be ready for that.
