Hi Aditi,
There could be a number of reasons for this change, so to get a clearer idea of what might be happening, I just have a few quick questions:
- Does she have a consistent wake-up time? If so, what is it?
- Have you been able to start the wake, feed, play, sleep routine during the day?
- How are you settling her to sleep for naps and bedtime?
- Have you implemented a nap routine? If so, what does it look like?
- Have you implemented a bedtime routine? If so, what does it look like?
- Where does she sleep during the day? (e.g., Is the bassinet in a cool, dark, and quiet room?)
- How many naps is she having during the day?
- How long is she generally staying awake between naps?
- What time is her bedtime?
- Does she use a pacifier?
- Do you swaddle her?
- Is she waking overnight for a feed? If so, can you give me a rough idea of the times she wakes?
- When you say she is refusing to nap in the bassinet, is this happening for all naps or mainly towards the end of the day?
I completely understand how busy you must be with an 8-week-old, so I really appreciate you taking the time to answer these! Once I have a better idea of her sleep patterns and environment, I’ll be able to offer specific advice.
Sorry again,
Emma
