Cars eat and a drive was our last resort. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503815 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:34:31 +0000 wheres_c 503815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: I think it is a growth spurt! I posted a week ago about the same thing happening to B - He was up 8 hours straight! That was at 4 weeks. He's 5 weeks now, and I am happy to say the 8 hour awake periods only lasted 2 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503813 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:33:34 +0000 oahujeni 503813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: Usually the swing is awesome and he passes right out! Nope not today... he wants nothing to do with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503811 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:32:54 +0000 oahujeni 503811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Oh wow that would be so nice if he sleeps that long tonight! I just got back from a walk outside which did not put him to sleep, then I walked in circles with him in the stroller around my downstairs. He's half sleeping half fussing right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503808 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:32:32 +0000 kml636 503808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine also fights sleep... the swing always eventually works on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503789 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:26:16 +0000 MamaMoose 503789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO refused to nap alllll day yesterday (she's 7 weeks). It was tough but the good news is she slept from 7pm to 6:30am with just one short nursing session at 12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503711 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:55:29 +0000 oahujeni 503711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm waiting for it to cool down a bit but then I'll take him for a walk. It's about 85 and very humid today and he gets sooooo sweaty. Hoping that works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503710 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:55:14 +0000 MaisyMay 503710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: :-) He just really loves his momma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503708 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:54:25 +0000 oahujeni 503708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: yep, he just wants to lift his head and stare at me. I must look funny today or something... He is mesmerized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503707 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:54:16 +0000 hilsy85 503707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried baby wearing? Or taking him out for a walk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503705 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:53:18 +0000 MaisyMay 503705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried letting him nap on you? If LO is having a hard time napping, I've swaddled her and let her sleep on my chest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503697 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:50:40 +0000 Weagle 503697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, my LO did this. I never figured it out, so I don't have any advice. Luckily, it never messed up her nighttime sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503696 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:49:58 +0000 oahujeni 503696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I'm going to try. I just put him in his crib and he is stomping his legs like crazy as if he's fighting sleep (or practicing for the marching band) Come on baby, go.to.sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503690 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:46:47 +0000 littlek 503690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You may want to move bedtime up if your LO doesn't nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-refuses-to-nap#post-503667 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:39:00 +0000 oahujeni 503667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 week old has been up for the past 8 hours and I can't get him to take a nap. He is just super wide awake and looking around at everything. He fusses for about 2 minutes then just sits there and stares at me. This is so weird, he usually nurses then naps for 2 hours after. Could this be a growth spurt? I'm just loving on him as much as possible but he still won't get sleepy. I have a feeling I'm in for a very fussy night.... </p>
