Hi Robin,
It’s definitely possible that the frequent wake-up around 30–45 minutes after bedtime is related to Maxi’s wake window before bed not being quite long enough just yet. Often, that first stretch of nighttime sleep can resemble a daytime nap if there isn’t quite enough sleep pressure built up.
I was wondering if you think Maxi could tolerate a 2-hour wake window before bedtime? It might be worth trying to see if it helps him stay asleep for longer during that first stretch of the night.
And just to clarify — you mentioned earlier that there’s been some progress with his daytime naps (which is fantastic!). Is Maxi now napping in the co-sleeper and settling with the help of the settling pyramid if needed? Or are some (or all) of his naps still happening on your chest?
And finally, have you been able to get any success settling him in the crib at bedtime using the pyramid method?
Looking forward to hearing more!
Emma
