Light sleeper baby

My 1.5 month old baby cant fall into good naps during daytime. Even with dark quiet room, swaddled, she at most nap once a good 2 hour nap, other than that it is so hard to put her down for any other day nap as she always wake up after 2-3 minutes put down in cot. She can sleep good 11-12 hours night time (including dreamfeed 2-3 times at night). I worry she gets over tired and lack of sleep for development due to this n indeed she gets quite fussy these days. Any mom has experience can share how to get baby to nap better? SOS.

This is a good thing! Your baby can easily differentiate day and night! Some babies is the total opposite! They sleep 11-12 hours in the day and when it comes to night they dont want to sleep! If your baby don’t want sleep then let her be! They are called the “cat napped” Don’t make the room dark in the day it’s no use!! Just do tummy time, read books, go for a walk and talk to her to really burn her energy! When she’s tired she’ll have a good nap! My baby was like that too even till now at 7 months BUT I make sure she have at least 1 long nap(1.5-2 hours) through the day time!! Crib and cot won’t work cause I don’t sleep train her! I use Yaolan!! But must slowly train and change her sleeping patterns don’t expect immediate change
