Baby sleep during the day

@Em still the same problem 🥲
I have the same thing and other than the first week home at 7 weeks she only slept in her cot in the daytime once so far (this week). She will sleep in her pram when we go for a long walk but wake the second I stop or am at home. this last week she’s started to let me put her down (awake) on a angel care bath seat or propped up on my pregnancy pillow so I’ve been able to get a few bits done , while she watched me sat in that ,as she wants to be help all day or cries . but sleeping wise will only sleep on me or my partner in the day (when he’s home). Then average around 2-3 hours at a time will sleep down at night x
This is totally normal and I’m not sure there’s much you can do besides baby-wearing. My son never slept in his cot really, not for extended periods - only at night. He’s now 4 months old and we still have to contact nap during the day. Babies, especially newborns, will want to be attached to you for the first 3ish months of life, maybe longer. You’re their comfort in a new, scary world. You’re the caregiver that keeps them warm and puts milk in their bellies. Until 6ish months they don’t even realise you’re not the same person! You could try putting him down when he’s awake and trying to get a few things done during the day instead? I used to put my son in his swing and speed clean lol
This is entirely normal for them to want to be with you. Why don't you want to use a carrier? Are the casts preventing a good fit? You could speak to a baby wearing consultant to try some different carriers and find one that works if that's the case
@Em I was going to write on here aswell that that doesn’t work either 😭😬
