14-week-old short naps and pre-sleep crying
Hi everyone,
We are really struggling with putting our 14-week-old daughter to sleep and could use some collective wisdom.
Connecting Sleep Cycles: She consistently wakes up after 30 minutes. We try to help her transition to a longer nap, but she struggles to settle into the next sleep cycle. How do you help your LO link naps at this age?
Falling Asleep / Pre-Sleep Crying: "Drowsy but awake" isn't working for us. If we put her down drowsy, she refuses to sleep, becomes overtired, and then cries for at least 10 minutes before falling asleep.
We are exhausted and finding sleep times really stressful right now. Is this "power crying" normal for this age, and how did you navigate it?
