Infant sleep issue
Hi,
My daughter is 10 weeks old.. She wouldn't sleep unless I walk with her round the house.. Every single time. I have swaddled her(day and night, during her nap and bed time), am following a bed time routine, having the room calm, lit in day and dim in nights. But it is tiring when I have to walk with her even for an hour at times.. Is there an alternative to put her to sleep. How long does she have to sleep, in the e day and night, how many naps should she take. Kindly guide me.
