How can I get my baby to nap better? He's 8 weeks old. My baby naps swaddled in a swing in a dark room with a white noise machine. He resists taking naps and often lays wide awake in the swing. When he does nap, he only sleeps for 30 mins at a time. He gets very cranky from not napping all day and starts crying and screaming on and off from 5 pm until he goes to sleep around 7 pm or 8 pm. Bathing him is the only way to calm him at this point. In the past week, my baby has also gone from sleeping 4-5 hours at a time at night before waking to only being able to go 3 hours before waking.
