Thank you so much Emma! I have already started to implement the tweaks to her nap times, bed time & she did wake up around 6am this morning – so we’ll see how tonight goes. Her naps ran pretty much almost right to the schedule you suggested.

The last two night she has slept pretty well actually which has been great. The first night she fell asleep within about 5 mins of being put down, and woke only twice in the night for feeds. Last night she was kickin about in bed for a while so I went in to feed her just before 8pm, then she only woke once in the night for a feed.

Tonight putting her down she was rolling around for half an hour, so I went in at 7.45 to feed her so she wouldn’t fall asleep too late.

What would you recommend for the last feed- because it is bedtime, does it still need to be at least 30mins before she goes down? Or perhaps if I fed her in the lounge after her pjs are on, she might hunker down for a decent feed before going into the bedroom…? She is at that FOMO age of wanting to look around quite a lot when feeding. The good thing about feeding her once she’s been in the bedroom for a while is she just gets straight down to business.

If she does get put down & then kicks about on the bed, is there a time limit I should set before going in to feed her (if necessary)?

Thanks again. I will start noting down how often I need to go feed her after being put down for the night.
