Why Is My Baby Not Sleeping In The Day?

Hi all, My 10 week old is sleeping well at night (waking up once between 8pm to 8am) but is mostly awake and wails in the day. She cries the moment we put her down and refuses to sleep in her crib. We don't have this issue at night. Can anyone shed light on why she doesn't nap well in the day and is there something we can do to improve her naps in the day without affecting her current routine at night? Thanks in advance!

Maybe engage baby in more activity during the day to tire her and she would naturally crave sleep. The other thing is create a specific routine every morning for feeding, play time and nap time. It will not be easy but once you stick to the routine for 30 days or more, it should become a habit for your baby.

lots of possibilities are there. 1. She is not tired enough to fall asleep . 2. The room is not cozy enough . 3. The other people are active enough to make her excited to play.

Maybe it's too bright in your room? Try drawing the curtains and play some soothing music.
