Josiah has 40min sleeps, and he's up on the dot at 40mins no matter what. I was starting to stress about it a bit, but then I remembered Janae used to do the same thing until she was about 7months (when she became more active) and then they became 1 1/2 hour sleeps, so I'm just perservering with it for now.
rocking Tori to sleep - I do the same because he tends to think cot is playtime too, no idea why. I do try and put Josiah down just before he's asleep (eyes closing, but not snoring yet!) I'm not quite sure what to do to get him out of this habit, but I do know I don't want to end up sitting by his cot until he's asleep until he's 2 1/2 like I did with Janae.
Not much help I know, but just thought I'd let you know you're not alone.
Cooper was a good day sleeper as a newborn and then one day it all went out the window. He would only sleep for about 45-60 minutes and would be awake way before his next feed was due.
So I've started wrapping again (really tight so he can't get his arms out) and now his day sleeps are up to 2.5 hours!!! It's amazing.
I feed him, have play time and then when I see his tired signs I wrap him and pop him in his cot awake, and turn on his mobile. He might fight against the wrap for a little bit but he doesn't grizzle or anything. Then he's fast asleep!
So wrapping has helped me.
Oh yeah --- almost forgot --- another thing I have tried is shutting the blinds (I started doing this around the same time as the wrapping so am not sure if both is helping him IYKWIM).
