She’s generally very awake. We’ve got to swaddle and soothe her just to get her to go down without a fight.

Light is as dark as we can make it. Not blackout curtains, but lights off and curtains drawn.

I suspect it is a phase, just trying to figure out anything I can to help. It’s pretty hard on my wife especially. We just keep putting her down and she keeps popping back up.

Our boy has been like this since maybe a month old. Once he left the very sleepy newborn phase he just never wants to nap during the day, and seems to actively resist daytime sleep. He’ll even be really angry when on the rare occasion he does take a decent nap and wakes up from it, as is he has realized he let his guard down or was tricked into it.

Stroller naps have worked alright for us, so we’ve been taking a lot of walks. Other than that, now at about 4 months old he is showing some emerging hints of a nap schedule, although it’s very sporadic still. So I don’t have much to offer other than solidarity, and the faint hope that things will improve. From what I understand this kind of thing is fairly common.

We often put our oldest in the stroller and went for a walk while she napped. Mainly between 6 months and 12 months I believe although my memory is hazy

My kid preferred carrier naps at that point, so I took a lot of walks. He vehemently hated prams until he was old enough to sit up in one.
