"My baby girl is 12weeks old and is a great sleeper during the night. She has her last bottle at 8pm & will wake up at 8am (she does not wake up for night feeds). My problem is that she is a catnapper! She'll go down for her naps about 1 1/2 hrs after waking (she is clearly tired when I put her down), she settles herself to sleep within 5-10mins but ALWAYS wakes up after 30mins!! & finds it hard to soothe herself back to sleep. She is still tired because if I pick her up she's very grumpy & ends up screaming! How do I help my baby sleep longer during the day??"

Wow, you got your baby sleeping 12 hours straight at 12 weeks?

Maybe YOU should write a book!

If you have the time, I'd like to take a look at her bedtimes, naptimes, and waketimes over a several day period.

That will help me get a grasp on what's going on.

If she is really only getting such short naps, I would wonder whether or not at some point would her nighttime sleep be affected, and possible become a bit less restful.
