2 Month Old Will NOT Sleep?

posted 30th May '12
She's clearly tired, there are bags under her eyes. She was with Daddy all day because I had to travel across town to go to the doctor's, and she only had one hour-long nap while I was gone. She's slept maybe 20 minutes in the 4 hours since I've been home, I took her to the park to look around and tire her out a bit, but when we got home, she was wide awake again.
She's not gassy, I burped her already and she farted loudly while eating, and just kicks us whenever we hold her..
How can we get her to sleep?

Also, she's breastfed, and doesn't take binkies.

Some days you just gotta wait it out. My son was up for 13 hours straight the other day.

Is she upset?

If not, just wait like a half hour and try again.

A warm bath, some more nursing and some gas drops. That was the ultimate "go to sleep" for my baby boy at the age.

A warm bath and then feed her after, make sure she is nice and cozy.

mine did that the other day too! so exhausting, but he doesnt sleep much in the days anyway.  

OP sounds like my son when hes overtired/overstimulated when it gets to that point i have to swaddle him and rock him and i put on the white noise on my phone it normally works but can take another couple of hours just have to perservere.

We use the white noise app all the time too, lol. I have to leave my kindle right next to him for his entire nap sometimes.
