A little unusual: That a baby that age will not take a nap. Child that age needs about 12-14 hrs of sleep a day. Are you using the same place to sleep for naps as you do for overnight? You may want to consider allowing the child to fall asleep on his/her own

Little stinker: Look at the bright side.. a 7 week old who sometimes sleeps 10 hours at night! Usually around this age, babies start to rise at the same time each morning, have an alert couple of hours then go back for a nap... Babies learn to self console now, so be sure and put down sleepy, yet not asleep. Over next several months should start to fall into a morning then afternoon nap, but may be brief
