Hi there,
We have a six week old bub who for the past few weeks has been resisting day time naps

I am looking out for his tired signs and as soon as he starts yawning, I try settling him. When I settle him I usually wrap him or put him into his sleeping bag swaddle. I then either walk around rocking him, cuddle him in close and stroke his head gently or rock him in the rocking chair. It can take anywhere from 20 - 45 minutes to settle him and then he only sleeps for 45 minutes maximum, often less and it is nearly impossible to shift him into his crib without waking him. I have had a little more success popping him into a baby carrier and walking him around, but still not great. And because bub is not sleeping well during the day, I don't get a rest during the day, so I end up more tired and probably less able to settle bub - a vicious cycle

I have seen/heard advice (including on the Ngala website) about not keeping newborns up for more than an hour, however if he resists his nap, sometimes he would be up for two or more hours which worries me

Particularly when I know he is tired, but just won't go down. Also, depending on the length of a feed and then a nappy change etc sometimes the hour just disappears before I've even thought about settling him... On that, if feeding and nappy change takes up most of the hour, where does stimulation/playtime get a look in? Or is this not as important at this age?
A few questions:
1) How long should I keep trying to settle him before giving up and letting him be awake, then trying again later?
2) How long asleep is considered a 'nap'?
3) If he is asleep for less than that time, do I try and resettle him and again, how long do I try and resettle for before enough is enough?
4) Is it ok for him to be getting the majority of his (limited) nap time in my arms or in the baby carrier?
5) Should I be offering him a feed every time he wakes, noting sometimes he only sleeps for 20 minutes?
I do have a consultation at Ngala in 2 1/2 weeks but would greatly appreciate some advice in the meantime to get me through the next couple of weeks!!
Thanks.
