How long should 2 month old baby sleep?

Hi mummies, I have a 2 month old baby and she does not take a long nap during day time. I try everything I can to make her sleep (rocking, walking around the house, dark room, white noise, patting, pacifier) however, each nap takes about 10 ~ 15mins and the baby does not go back to sleep once wake up. This repeats for about 4 - 5 times a day and sometimes she does not sleep in between the feeding time. For some reasons, the baby sleeps well at night, usually for about total of 10h ~ 12h with 1 - 2 feedings in between. Is this because she sleeps enough at night and does not need to supplement much sleep in the day? She does gets crankier towards the end of the day it is very tiring because I have to attend to her all day long. How can I let the baby stay asleep and extend the nap time…? #firstbaby #sleeping

2 month old baby cannot stay asleep unless held

Hi mummies, I have a 2 month old baby and she cannot stay asleep unless held. I put her to sleep in my arms but the moment I put her down, she becomes wide awake and starts to cry and scream until her face and eyes gets red. I have tried to put the baby down while sleepy but awake, pat to calm her when she cries/make fuss, repeat the steps until baby falls asleep. However the more I try the more cranky the baby gets. How can I make her sleep in the designated sleeping place? I’ve been holding her throughout the day (she did not like the carrier) she is a short sleeper during day time (for some reasons, baby can lay flat and sleep at night for 4-5h), so I am very exhausted….:( I Would appreciate any advice from you! Thank you.

2 month old baby drinking less milk

Hi, my baby is currently at 9 weeks old and the total daily milk intake has been reduced quite a lot since 3 weeks ago. The baby was drinking 650ml - 700ml and currently that has brought down to 450ml - 500ml (Baby can rarely hit 500ml a day). Baby can only drink 60ml - 90ml at a time. At 2 month check up, PD told me that it’s hunger strike and is not concerning since the baby is growing and no sign of health issue as well. PD also advised me to dream feed the baby if I want to increase the daily milk intake to meet the minimum daily intake (weight is 5kg) but the baby does not drink when sleeping. When I tried to feed more often, baby refuses the bottle and cry very hard. I feed 6 - 7 times now on baby’s demand. I have tried three different brand’s bottle, tried bigger teats, and three different formula milk but the situation still remains the same. Is this normal and will the intake increase eventually? Did you do anything special to increase the milk intake? It would be great to hear your thoughts. Thank you!
