Hi mummy, i rememver this phase. Yes they barely nap😭 they say babies usually sleep alot but unfortunately, not for my baby. Even after milk and playtime. Cause theyre also still adjusting, cannot differentiate day and night. Can try swaddle, white noise, rocking and sushing, tummy time 1hr after milk, with activities. Or, can also increase milk intake. After increasing milk intake, from 90 to 120ml only then my baby started to nap a little during the day. And at 3 months around there theyll start to have a “routine”. Feed - play - nap. Hang in there mummy!!

Yeah my baby is so awake 🥲 thanks for the reply! Will just keep trying

It’s a phase and it shall pass. Give pacifier, use a rocker or baby swing usually help.
