At that age, our LO would only sleep on us or in the stroller. She didn't like the swing until she was around 5 or 6 weeks.

Can you hold her? Week 3-6 was one huge growth spurt and fussy period for DD. Someone usually held her for all of her naps during those week.

I do still hold DD for at least one nap a day at 7 months... but that's because I like it! She sleeps on her own with no problems.

naps can be really tough. even if you try everything, it's just tough for most babies to nap, and to nap for a decent amount of time. how about the carrier? even if she doesn't fall asleep, anything to keep her calm and you guys sane is what i would recommend.

@csross217: oh at that age I would nurse DD any time she rooted and she would fall asleep on me while eating. I spent a lot of time on the couch.

@csross217: We had a lot of cluster feeding at that age. From 2-4 weeks I felt like all I did was nurse! But mine was also a really sleepy nurser so one session took forever since I had to keep waking him up.

Honestly, I think at this point it just just a matter of whatever works for mom and baby. If she is rooting after eating she could just be comfort sucking, not really eating. We had a lot of that too.

@Mrs. Pickle: @KT326: @csross217: cluster feeding is going on right now. DS will sleep for a tiny while and then want to eat again. I donxt consider him fighting a nap. Its more so he's just not full enough for a long stretch.
