Thank you so much, Emma. I will do that. I will track her wake up time for a week and I will let you know. Best, Catherin

Hi Emma, thank you for answering my message so fast. I have not been able to apply your recommendations because my daughter got sick, immediately after that she began waking up multiple times during the night again. This lasted for about a week, it was hard. I believe that she was going through a sleep regression that seems to have ended now…

Hi Emma, It has been a while since my last communication with you. I hope that you are well. My little one will be 18 months old on Sunday. Shortly after our last message, her sleep started to be more consistent, waking up less during the night and sleeping for longer stretches. Her sleep during the last two months has been very consistent…

Hi Emma, your last message gave me a lot of hope. You said that my daughter will eventually sleep for longer stretches as she is already doing it on and off. I know that every baby is different but is there an approximate age or time when those nights of good sleep become the normal? She had another 3 days of good sleep last week and now we…

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much for the step by step guidance. I really appreciate it. I have a question about the sleep association that my daughter has with nursing. You suggest to nurse outside of her bedroom, which I am willing to try. My fear is if after doing the new steps (rocking, patting, and shushing) she still wants to nurse to fall asleep.…

Hi Emma, please see the answers to your questions below:

Her current daytime schedule:

• What time does she usually wake up in the morning, and is this consistent? She usually wakes up between 7:00am to 7:30am. We were on vacation for 2 weeks and she got sick when we returned back home so I had been letting her sleep as much as she needed. Since…

Hi Emma, Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed the Holiday season with your loved ones. I am writing this message in desperate need for help. I followed your advice when I moved my daughter to her own room at the beginning of December. Despite that, she has been having a hard time adjusting. The first week was horrible, she woke up every…

Hi Emma,

My apologies for not answering before. I did read your message a while ago and have been applying what you suggested. My daughter is officially 1 year and 2 weeks old. We are getting her room ready to move her hopefully this weekend. Is there anything that I can expect from when we move her to her room in terms of…

Hi Emma,

I really appreciate all your additional questions so no need to apologize. Please see below my answers:

• What is your little one’s current bedtime routine? After dinner, my husband plays a little bit with her, then either him or myself wash her hands and face, change her diaper and put on her pijamas while one of us is getting the bottles…

Hi Emma, thank you so much for your advice and the video. I love how you explain things that it is easy to follow. I should have told you in my previous message that my daughter is about to turn one year old on November 10th. I just started applying the new schedule with the 9:30 am to 10:00 am nap two days ago. Really this happened at…

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much for answering my questions. My apologies for the delay in my response. My daughter has been on and off sick since she began daycare. Apparently that is normal the first year of daycare. I have been trying to follow the schedule that you proposed as much as possible when she is not sick because when she is sick I let…

Hi Emma, Thank you so much for all the advice. I am following the schedule that you proposed. I must say that it worked wonderfully for two days, so I am very hopeful that It will make a difference in my little one sleep. I just need to be consistent. The naps can be tricky for sure, specially not knowing if her naps will be shorter or…

Hi Emma, thank you so much for your response. I switched my daughter’s wake time to 7 am. She adjusted quite well. She has been consistently waking up between 7 am to 7:30 am. More often close to 7 though. I wanted to ask you a few things since the hours that she sleeps in a day have changed, I guess because she is transitioning to two naps.…

Hi Emma,

The plan sounds great. I just wanted to ask you how should I go about changing her wake time to 7:00 am from 8:00 am. Should I just start to wake her up at 7:00 am? Or should I wake her up few minutes earlier each day until I make it to 7:00 am? I appreciate your advice.

Best,

Catherin

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful insights and guidance. A lot has happened since my last message. In a nutshell, my little one began daycare and after the first week she got sick and passed it onto the whole family. Thankfully, she had a mild cold and was fine in a day but in my case, I am still recovering. This is the reason why…

Hi Emma, I apologize for my late response. Thank you so much for answering my questions. I have been applying your recommendations and they seem to be working. My little one has been waking up around the same time (between 8am to 8:30am) every day and going to bed a little before 9 pm. Her naps have been more predictable, too, which makes…

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much for the additional questions. I really appreciate your attention to detail. Before answering your questions, let me tell you how things have been. After reading your message with the nap schedule, I implemented it and it worked perfectly well the first three nights. My daughter woke up around 8ish and I put her for…

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much. I will look up both blackout curtains.

Catherin

Hi Emma,

Could you recommend a black out curtain, please? You recommended a specific kind in one of your Youtube videos but I cannot find the video. I thank you in advance for answering my question.

Catherin

Hi Emma, thank you so much for reading my long message and for your follow up questions. I greatly appreciate taking the time to help me. Regarding your first question about the later bedtime, yes, putting her to bed between 9 pm and 9:30 pm helped. She slept for longer stretches of time and woke up only once overnight. This was working…

Hi Emma,

I wanted to report back on the new approach and tracking my daughter’s sleep. I haven’t been able to implement the new approach consistently because I have to hold her for a good 20 minutes after feedings due to mild reflux and to avoid spit ups. The routine after feeding and put her to bed is shorter that 20 minutes. I tried to keep…

Hi Emma,

I apologize for the delay in my response. My little one’s sleep schedule has become irregular that it is hard to know when she will sleep through the night and when she will wake up one or twice during the night. Therefore, the past week has been very exhausting that I have not been able to do anything but taking a nap every time I…

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and expertise. I follow you in YouTube and always watch your videos. I also took the Peaceful Dreams course and it has been very helpful. My daughter will be 6 month old on May 10. She has always been a good sleeper. She began sleeping 6 to 8 hours since she was two months old. My…
