It's hard to get my son 3 months to sleep in the day. He is an ultra light sleeper. After patting for 15 min, he only sleeps for another 15 mins before he is awake again. Anyone has similar experience?

Hi my gal was like this for the first 4 months. Firstly she has a hard time falling asleep unlike other babies. She is not the kind of baby who craves sleep a lot. Secondly she is a Ultra light sleeper that the slightest sound like my knees creaking will wake her. I had to rock her to sleep several times a day and then let her sleep on my chest. Once I put her down anywhere she will wake almost immediately. I almost went crazy. I had to baby wear her and keep walking around as she will wake once I sit down. It was so so tiring that I could not believe things will get better.However her naps started to get longer from about 4 months onwards, sometimes falling asleep on her own. I also started to give her pacifier for sleeping time. And slowly her naps became very fixed. It could be a 30mins nap at first then drag to 45 mins and slowly to 1.5 hours. Yes it does get better so hang in there!! If you don't mind can use electric cradle Yao Lan which helps them fall asleep faster. I use that a lot initially but I manually shook the cradle instead of relying on the auto motion.
