I have a 9 week old baby who goes down well at night, if I take her for a big walk before her bath, however during the day I find it really difficult to get her to take a nap. If she does go down then it is never for longer than an hour. Do you have any tips for helping me get her to nap during the day?

My baby was the same. It sounds normal that the baby doesnt sleep longer than an hour as long as they are having some sort of sleep. Do they seem in pain at all? If not then i wouldnt worry about it and just be thankful if they sleep at night!!

i also have a 9week old and he was the same i was told by my health visitor that it was nothing to worry about, i have found that feeding him and trying to keep him awake for about half an hour after has worked, some times he sleeps for upto 3hours. it maynot work for you as all babies are different, but i hope that it helps a little.
