Dear Emma,

Thanks for all of your thoughts on how to help us. The daycare staff tend to rock her to sleep for naps though occasionally she’ll fall asleep on her own in a bouncer or boppy and then they transfer her. She also falls asleep on the bottle sometimes. She is generally still happy during wake times – I notice that she gets more clingy and tolerates floor time less in the evening if she only takes short naps all day, so perhaps that’s another signal that overtiredness is playing into it. I have never noticed her feet jumping at bedtime.

Fortunately her nap length and wake windows are both starting to lengthen – now naps average 35-45 minutes at a time and her last wake window seems closer to 145-150 minutes when she has better naps during the day, so it will be easier for us to drop the last nap and try the earlier bedtime.

Thanks so much!

Joyce
