How can I get baby to take naps longer than 20-30 mins?

Genuinely ruining my happiness as when they wake up they're screaming because they're still tired but won't go back to sleep, it's draining the life out of me. A sling isn't an option.

Wtf is going on

Been trying to get little boy down since 7pm.. it's now 1:30am!!! Every time I think he's asleep and put him down (in my bed as we co-sleep) he wakes up crying. Treats the five minute cat nap as a full nap and kickstarts another full wake window. WTF is he doing I'm so tired... 🥱

Witching hour

My baby is 3 months old. No matter how hard we try, she never sleeps between 8 pm to 1 am and wants to be constantly entertained. Sometimes she cries until I feed her again within an hour of feeding her which in turn makes her spit up and takes even longer for her to settle down. Any suggestions as to how I can get ...
