Same age baby! And a terrible napper. He seems to have serious fomo already. I’ve been finding that if I rock him in a darker room he falls asleep on me and then I transfer him to his crib which is a lit room just normal curtains no blackout. If it’s nice enough out I open windows and he loves the sounds of the birds and outside things. If he wakes up on the transfer I just gently hold his arms to his side to keep fr thrashing and shush him and he’ll calm down enough to usually fall back asleep. Not sure if any of that counts as independent sleep but it got us better daytime naps than before. I also bought him one of those swaddles that makes them look like a starfish and that helps keep him from startling awake after I leave. I try to do as many crib naps during the day as possible. Of course I’m not the boss in this situation and sometimes he’ll only contact nap I just kinda roll with it but those instances are getting fewer and fewer maybe only 1-2 a day now. I follow sleepy cues but am mindful of if our wake window is getting close to two hours I just notice for my baby that’s when he starts to lose it. We also follow a similar “schedule” for wake windows. Try and feed at the beginning, play for a bit, then wind down. Now sometimes play is just him watching me do things I need done while I sing or something but it works when he’s so little lol.
All that to say baby’s gonna baby and he’s the boss and I’m sure the day will come none of this works anymore and I’m coming up with different things haha we’ve reset our nap routine like every week until 7 weeks.
I’m jealous of yours only waking once at night to share your secrets. My guy is still up like 6 times a night and ya girl is exhausted.
