1. om your previous posts, I calculated that your little one is around 8 weeks old. Is that correct?

Yes she has 8 weeks

1. Does she have a consistent wake time each day? If so, what time is it?

Around 7 am I wake her up to feed her

1. Can you walk me through what her nap sleep routine looks like from start to finish?

I’m starting a routine not so long ago, trying to stay away from the feed and nap…but sometimes my a awake windows get too close that the only thing I can do is feed and or to bed. The new rutine is feed her, play and 10am before the awake window start bring it to the room swaddle and sit with her for 10pm then out it in the crib. But she will start crying as soon as I do that. The sush method will not work well sadly

1. You mentioned you follow the wake, play, feed, sleep routine. Does this mean you feed her to sleep for all naps and at bedtime?

Depending, some naps are so short that the awake window will run me over, so if I’m in it or too close I will feed her and put it in the crib. Bedtime is bath, feed and sleep…nights are good!! She will sleep there but not for naps. Just one nap in the early morning she will do in the crib, for 1 or almost 2 hours.

1. What does her bedtime routine currently look like?

6:40 pm bath, feed inside dark room with one bedtime song and then crib.

1. When you say she ends up sleeping in your arms, are you able to lay her down in her crib or bassinet at all while she sleeps, or do you hold her for the entire nap?

I tried to put it in the crib and she will wake up right away.

1. Overnight, where does she sleep?

Crib

1. Does she use a pacifier?

Yes but it’s hit or miss

1. Can you describe what her sleep environment is like in the bedroom? (e.g., darkness, noise level, temperature, white noise, etc.)

Darkroom, whit noise, 71 degrees mostly, swaddle.

1. How many naps is she having per day, and how long do these naps usually last?

Try at least 3, morning one can be up to 2h after that 29min, 30 but know I’m ending with her in arms so she sleeps more there. How ever long we will give her…again I try to be less than 2 hours.

1. Lastly, what time does she usually go to bed?

7:30 pm
