1 month old and wont sleep during the day

my 1 month old son will barely sleep at all during the day and it gets so fustrating sometimes has anyone else been through this and is there anything i can do

Nothing you can do about it. My son only takes one 1 hour nap a day and then passes out for 5-10 minutes every so often. But for the most part he's up all day. Has been like that since 4 weeks old. He's now 2 months old. Its fine for me because he sleeps 8-9 hours at night.

My 6 week old daughter is the same exact way. She always wants to be held and will only stand being in her swing or bouncer for about five minutes. Have you considered baby wearing? It's the only way I can get anything done around the house.

For the first 2-3 months, my son would only nap in my arms. I would often stick him in the moby wrap and sit at the computer. I played a lot of online games to keep me busy. It's tiring, but normal. He actually was taking 5 cat naps a day until 5 months old, then slowly started to condense them. He is a great sleeper now at 1 1/2. He sleeps 11 hours at night and naps for 2-3 hours once a day.

Do you have a swing or bouncer? It's important to give yourself a break and be able to set him down, even if he's not sleeping.

ive tried the baby wear but it didnt work he doesnt like to be on his back the only time he lays on his back is when im feeding him my older son wasnt like this at all

things that helped me...
a swing
cranking music, dont be affraid to put it loud.
seat that vibrates
carring her in a sling
crib music box

he will only go in his swing or bouncer for maybe 10 mins at a time if that it just seems like i get no break at all

DS does that. He naps for 20 minutes at a time tops during the day and wakes up and screams if you arent paying attention to him. After he eats he takes another mini nap. He only sleeps for about 3 hours at a time at night

I remember feeling that way, it's hard. I pretty much resigned myself to doing nothing but holding the baby. Get a kindle fire or something you can do while holding him. It gets easier, trust me. My son loved tummy time around 2-3 months, he would lay on the floor with his toys for an hour.

i have a 19 month old son as well though so im trying to make sure i have quality time with him as well though but he loves when i put my lo on his playmat on the floor cause my older son will sit right by him and try to play with him its so cute but it only last about 10 mins cause than my lo doesnt want to be there anymore
