Hi Lauren,

It’s so lovely to hear that you’re enjoying the content!

I just had a quick look online and it seems the Halo Swaddle isn’t currently available in Australia – I actually bought mine from Baby Bunting a few years ago, but it doesn’t look like they stock it anymore.

An alternative you can still get here is the Ergopouch Cocoon. It’s definitely worth trying if you’re looking for something similar.

Hi Quraish and Helen,

Thank you so much for your lovely message and for sharing such a thorough overview of what your little one has been experiencing.

You are clearly putting an enormous amount of love, effort, and intention into supporting her, especially with such a challenging start.

Before I can offer specific advice I was just hoping you could clarify a few things for me – i am so sorry for all the questions.

1. It sounds like you have a consistent wake-up time of between 6:30am and 7am, is that correct? If so that is fantastic!

2. Just wanted to check that the medication Nexium, is only given in the morning and the Motilium/Domperidone dose is given in the morning and again in the afternoon? Are you required to give her any other medications prior to her other feeds during the day?

3. Is she starting to stay awake following daytime feeds?

4. Based on what you have written, it sounds like you might be standing up in the bedroom while she is awake lying in your arms and you’re swinging her gently and shushing and tapping her until she falls asleep. After she has fallen asleep, you’re then gradually stopping the swinging, then the shushing and then the tapping. At this point, you are laying her down in the crib and then using the settling pyramid to help her go back to sleep if she wakes up. Is that correct?

5. You mentioned her wake windows are currently 1.5 to 3 hours. Do you notice whether she falls asleep – even briefly – during feeds or while you’re burping her afterwards? At this age, babies typically have short wake windows, and because her feeding routine takes quite a while, it’s very likely she’s getting small pockets of sleep during that time. These brief naps during feeding or upright holding could be reducing her overall sleep pressure, making it harder for her to fall asleep or stay asleep during formal nap times.

6. Are you able to let me know how many naps she is having per day?

7. Do you remove the pacifier before she falls asleep or does she sleep with the pacifier? If she does sleep with the pacifier have you noticed if the reason she is waking briefly after you lay her down is because the pacifier has fallen out?

Sorry for all the questions!

Emma

Hi Julia,

Gradually increasing her wake windows as the day goes on is a great approach.

It’ll be really interesting to see if she starts resisting nap time and bedtime less once you extend those wake windows a little. Sometimes even small changes make a big difference.

For those days when she only has a short 15-minute nap, if you can’t resettle her, I’d recommend starting the next wake window and just keeping a close eye on her tired signs. It’s very likely she won’t be able to stay awake for as long after such a short nap, so she may need to go back down a bit earlier – and that’s completely fine.

If the 15-minute naps start happening regularly, and she’s relying on the pacifier to fall asleep, that could be a sign it might be time to begin phasing the pacifier out.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Quraish,

Thank you so much for the update – I really appreciate you taking the time to share how things are going.

I know it can feel discouraging when you’re trying everything and not yet seeing the progress you’d hoped for. Reflux and cramping can definitely make it so much harder for little ones to stay settled, so it makes complete sense that you’re running into challenges there.

It sounds like you’re doing an incredible job persevering through a tough stage. Please don’t lose heart – often these issues do gradually improve with time as your baby’s digestive system matures.

Keeping notes and sharing progress updates every few weeks is a wonderful idea, and I’m sure it will be so valuable for other parents who are facing similar challenges.

Hopefully, this week is the week where you see some positive changes!

Hi Julia!

I’m so glad to hear the bigger diaper solved the overnight leaks!

And it’s completely normal that after a week of special events and naps on the go, your little one is finding it harder to self-soothe again. Babies are very adaptable, but they also notice changes to their routine. It’s great that you’re already helping her settle back into her usual sleep space.

About wake windows – you’re right that many 4.5 month olds can start stretching a little longer between naps. Some are still happy at 2 hours, while others do best closer to 2.25–2.5 hours. You know her best, so you could gently test adding just 10–15 minutes of awake time and watch how she responds. If she starts getting overtired (lots of fussing or harder to settle), you can always pull it back. One other thing to keep in mind is that wake windows aren’t all equal – the first one of the day is usually the shortest, and the last one before bedtime can often be the longest. So she may not need exactly 2.5 hours across every window.

Short naps at this age are also very common – 30–45 minutes is actually the length of a single baby sleep cycle. Linking those cycles is a skill that develops gradually, which is why many babies don’t take longer naps consistently until around 5–6 months. This usually happens more easily once they’re able to fall asleep on their own.

You’d mentioned before that she was self-settling at nap time, but it sounds like she may be relying more on the pacifier at the moment. Could you update me on how you’re currently settling her to sleep, including what her nap routine looks like? I’d also love to know what happens if the pacifier falls out as she’s drifting off, and whether she stirs or wakes during her nap if it comes out then. That will help me understand the full picture and guide you more clearly

Thanks
Emma

Hi Leonor,

When babies drop their overnight feeds on their own, it’s often because they no longer need those calories at night – they’re getting what they need during the day. I’d recommend checking in with her paediatrician to confirm they’re happy with her weight gain. If they have no concerns, it’s likely not a supply issue but simply that she’s satisfied from her daytime feeds.

You can also watch her cues: if she’s generally content after a feed, that’s a good sign she’s getting enough. If she stops feeding and is instantly upset or still seems hungry, that might point to a drop in supply.

Nursing to sleep:
In regards to nursing her to sleep, I agree – since she’s sleeping so well, you wouldn’t want to introduce nursing to sleep at nap time or bedtime. Instead, it might help to offer two feeds during the final wake window: once when she wakes from her third nap, and again at the very start of the bedtime routine (so she’s less likely to drift off while feeding). If she does wake overnight due to hunger, you can feed her then as well.

Waking her from naps:
If you need to wake her (especially from the last nap) and she doesn’t respond to light, talking, or gentle touch, try picking her up and holding her upright instead of lying in your arms. Talking to her in that position usually wakes babies more effectively.

Sample nap schedule (based on a 2-hour wake window):

• 7:00 am – Wake
• 9:00 am – Nap (1.5 hrs)
• 10:30 am – Wake
• 12:30 pm – Nap (1.5 hrs)
• 2:00 pm – Wake
• 4:30 pm – Nap (max 30 mins)
• 5:00 pm – Wake
• 7:00 pm – Bedtime

If you find she’s ready for longer wake times or her naps are shorter, let me know and I can tweak this for you.

Does this seem okay?

Emma

[Emma H]

Hi Milène,

It’s so good to hear she’s now starting the night in her co-sleeper – hopefully that’s giving you a little more rest or even just a moment to yourself!

It’s also great that she was falling asleep independently for about half of the time. Just to clarify, do you mean for naps? If so, and she’s recently started resisting naps over the past few days, keep an eye on whether this pattern continues for a full week. If it does – and she’s not sick or mastering a big new motor skill like rolling, crawling, or sitting – it could be a sign her wake windows need a small adjustment, perhaps from 2 hours 15 minutes to around 2.5 hours. To check, simply note how long she’s awake between naps over the week.

One thing to try is when you see her showing tired cues, change the activity or move to a different room. If that stops her fussing, she may have been bored rather than tired (a sign her wake window needs extending). If she keeps fussing, that’s your cue she’s genuinely ready for sleep.

Bedtime:

It’s fantastic you’ve found her ideal wake window before bedtime – 2.5 to 3 hours is very normal for this age – and that you’ve managed to bring bedtime earlier. If she’s very upset when you try the pyramid, it’s okay to pause and focus on fully calming her in your arms first. The pyramid works best when she’s calm or only mildly unsettled.

You might also extend the wind-down before starting bedtime. For example: dim lights or switch to lamps 30–60 minutes before bed to help signal to her brain that sleep is coming and boost melatonin production. You could also give the pacifier 10–15 minutes before bedtime as it’s soothing, then put on her sleeping bag and walk around with her for a few minutes before starting the routine in the bedroom.

Settling back to sleep:

If she wakes after one sleep cycle, popping the pacifier back in or patting her is fine. Just try to reduce the patting or rocking right before she drifts off, so she gradually learns to fall asleep without movement.

Falling asleep after feeds:

From what you’ve shared before, I know feeds aren’t part of the bedtime routine due to reflux, so I’m assuming this is about overnight feeds. In that case, I wouldn’t worry – falling asleep while feeding overnight is normal and even ideal. Also, needing to hold her for more than 15 minutes afterwards makes sense, as babies pass through lighter sleep stages before reaching deeper sleep. So if you find that this works, then continue doing it.

It would be amazing if you emailed me the feeding aversion book – that’s so kind!

Hi Quraish and Helen,

I’m glad the plan sounds okay and the clarification on swaddling and the settling pyramid was helpful.

In terms of how many times to retry, as the settling pyramid is a responsive technique, there’s no strict number of times you need to try before deciding to settle your little one in your arms. It’s more about observing her cues and adjusting based on how she is responding. If she’s continuously crying without pauses, that’s a sign she needs more support, and you can move up the pyramid to provide that comfort.

If you get to the top of the pyramid and you have time and she is calm, you can try moving back down the pyramid. But if you don’t have time or she is too upset, it’s absolutely okay to settle her to sleep in your arms.

This doesn’t mean you’re giving up – it’s about meeting her where she’s at and trying again next time.

It’s completely normal for it to take multiple tries over several days (or even a week or two) before she starts getting more comfortable with the new routine. Each attempt is still valuable learning for her, even if it ends in contact sleep.

Does that make sense?

Emma

[Emma H]

Hi Jacelyn,

It’s great to hear that your little one has settled into a 2 nap routine and your days are a little more predictable. In regards to your questions I have answered them below.

Frequent Wakings Between 7-11pm

It’s interesting that this is happening during a time when sleep pressure is typically highest. A few potential contributors come to mind:

1. Overtiredness: Even though your son is now on a solid two-nap schedule, that 4-hour wake window before bedtime might still be a little long for him right now. When little ones are overtired, it can lead to more frequent or restless wakes in the first part of the night. If these extra wakes started around the time he dropped to two naps, it could be a sign that his final wake window is just stretching a bit too far.

   You could experiment with shortening that last window by 15–30 minutes to see if it helps. If it doesn’t make a difference – but he’s still falling asleep easily at bedtime – you could try reducing it by up to 45 minutes and see whether that leads to more settled sleep.

2. New Skills: At 7 months, many babies are busy mastering new motor skills like rolling, sitting, or even starting to crawl – and all that practice can sometimes disrupt sleep. Have you noticed if he’s been working on a new skill lately? If these frequent night wakings line up with him practicing rolling over (or another milestone), it’s likely just a temporary phase. Once he becomes confident and comfortable with the skill, his night wakings should naturally begin to settle down again.
3. Sleep Associations: Since he’s being carried to sleep and potentially still using a pacifier, he might be waking during light sleep cycles and needing those same conditions to fall back asleep. This is a common reason for frequent wakes.

To address this, I’d recommend focusing on helping him learn to fall asleep independently. This will take time and consistency, but it’s a key step toward longer, more consolidated sleep. I’ll touch on this more below.

Weaning Off Carrying to Sleep

I know it can feel daunting to break this habit, but it’s absolutely achievable with a gradual, consistent approach.

Now that he’s on a predictable nap schedule, it’s a great time to revisit the settling pyramid – either the full version or the modified one we talked about earlier. Having that routine in place will make it much easier for him to adapt.

One small tweak that can make a big difference at this age is doing the “watch and listen” step from outside his room, using the baby monitor. By this stage, some little ones can become frustrated if they see you in the room but you’re not actively helping them, which can lead to more protest. Giving him a little space can actually make it easier for him to settle himself.

Of course, if you notice his cries are continuous without pauses, that’s a signal he needs your help. In that case, go back into the room and move up and down the pyramid as needed until he falls asleep. Over time, this approach will help him build the skill (and confidence) to settle to sleep without being carried.

Helping Him Sleep in the Car

Car sleep can be tricky because it’s such a different environment from his usual sleep space. Here are a few tips to encourage rest during car journeys:

1. Plan Around His Sleep Schedule: Try to time car rides with his usual nap times so he’s naturally more inclined to sleep.
2. Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment: Use a sunshade to block out light, and play white noise or soft music to mimic his usual sleep cues.
3. Avoid Overstimulation: Keep the car environment calm and quiet, and avoid giving him toys or distractions if you want him to sleep.

If he doesn’t fall asleep in the car, try to offer a short nap as soon as you get home to prevent him from becoming overtired.

I hope this helps!

Hi Quraish and Helen,

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such a detailed update – it’s incredibly helpful for understanding exactly what’s going on.

It actually makes a lot of sense that she naps for longer when she’s on you. Being upright helps keep the reflux more settled, and without even realising it, you’re probably giving her those little shushes, pats, or gentle movements that help her drift back off when she stirs.

On the topic of her falling asleep while feeding – at her age, and especially with those long feeds, it’s very normal and not something you need to worry about creating a long-term “association.” As she gets older, she’ll naturally start staying awake for longer after feeds, and you’ll be able to gradually help her learn to settle to sleep in the crib.

That said, there are a few things that might help improve her daytime naps:

1. Keep her morning wake-up time consistent
A consistent wake-up time helps set her body clock and makes nap times more predictable.

2. Retry the swaddle
Since she’s waking soon after you lay her down, this could be due to reflux, but it might also be the movement of going from your arms to the crib. A swaddle can help dampen that “free fall” feeling and make the transition smoother. If you’re open to it, try one where her arms are down by her sides instead of up by her face.

If you’d rather skip the swaddle, you could lower her into the crib feet first, then bottom, then back, and finally head. Once she’s down, place one hand gently on her arms and the other on her legs to stop them from moving. Wait until she’s completely still, then slowly remove your hands. This can help her stay asleep through the transition.

3. Tweak her nap routine

Right now, if she doesn’t fall asleep while feeding, you’re settling her in your arms with swinging, shushing, and tapping – which works well. But to make it easier to transition to the settling pyramid, you could gradually reduce the movement, tapping, and shushing so she eventually falls asleep in your arms without movement.

Her new nap routine might look like this:

• Take her to her room and draw the blinds.

• Turn on the sound machine.

• Swaddle her (if you’re willing to give this a go).

• Hold her in your arms and sing a lullaby or song (this becomes a sleep cue).

• When the song ends, swing her gently while shushing and tapping.

• Once calm, stop swinging (stand still) but continue shushing and tapping.

• Gradually stop tapping, then stop shushing, so she falls asleep in your arms while you’re standing still, with only the white noise in the background.

4. Timing of the Settling Pyramid

From what you’ve described, it sounds like you might be using the settling pyramid after you’ve already settled her to sleep in your arms, transitioned her into the crib, and then she wakes a few minutes later. It’s at that point you’re trying to use the pyramid and that’s likely why it hasn’t been as effective.

For the settling pyramid to work well, it needs to be used right from the start of helping her to sleep – when her sleep pressure is at its highest. If she has already dozed off in your arms and wakes after a short nap in the crib, that brief rest has reduced her sleep pressure, making it less likely she’ll settle back to sleep, even with the pyramid.

The goal is to begin the settling pyramid at the very start of the nap or bedtime routine, while she’s still awake, and continue using it until she falls asleep in her crib. This makes the most of her natural sleep drive, and over time she’ll recognise the steps as clear sleep cues.

If you’re happy to try this, the easiest times to start are bedtime and the first nap of the day.

For her first nap her nap time routine might look like this:

• Take her to her room and draw the blinds.

• Turn on the sound machine.

• Swaddle her (if you’re willing to give this a go).

• Hold her in your arms and sing a lullaby or song (her sleep cue).

• When the song ends, lay her in her crib and use the settling pyramid to help her fall asleep, moving up and down the steps as needed.

For bedtime her routine using the settling pyramid might look like this:

• Small feed.

• Bath and lotion massage.

• Get dressed.

• Finish the feed.

• Hold her upright, keeping her awake if possible to maintain sleep pressure (if she falls asleep, that’s fine just lay her in the crib).

• If awake, take her to her room, draw the blinds, turn on the sound machine, swaddle her, sing the lullaby, then place her in the crib and use the settling pyramid.

If she falls asleep and then wakes soon after, you can try to resettle her with the pyramid – but if she’s too distressed, pick her up and settle her in your arms, remembering to reduce movement, tapping, and shushing so she eventually falls asleep while you’re still and quiet.

Does this sound doable?

Hi Leonor,

Given that her weight gain has slowed, I’d recommend offering both breasts during night wakes for now. It’s also worth continuing to feed her in a darkened room with minimal distractions after daytime naps. Even though you didn’t notice a big change in how long she fed for, a quieter environment can help her stay more focused on sucking and swallowing, which may result in a fuller feed. And if you’re at all concerned about your milk supply, it’s always a good idea to check in with a lactation consultant – they can assess your supply more closely and give tailored guidance.

At around 6 months, moving towards a more consistent nap schedule can be helpful. The benefits include:

• Regulating her body clock so she naturally feels sleepy at similar times each day.

• Creating more predictable nap and feed patterns, making it easier to ensure she’s getting enough milk during the day.

• Potentially reducing nighttime wakes, as having a narrower morning wake-up window helps set her internal clock for better overnight melatonin release.

• Making it easier for you to plan your day.

You don’t have to move straight to a rigid schedule – you could start by anchoring her day with a consistent morning wake-up (within a 30-minute window) and a set first nap. From there, the rest of her naps and feeds will often begin to fall into place naturally.

If you’d like, I can help you create a more structured schedule. Could you let me know how long her first two naps usually last (are they 1½–2 hours?) and whether her third nap is around 45 minutes?

Emma

[Emma H]

Hi Catherin,

Ideally, you’d gradually shift her wake-up time earlier by 15–30 minutes every 3 days, moving her whole schedule forward in the same way. However, since daycare is already following a set schedule and offering the first nap at 9am, I’d recommend simply starting to wake her at 7am. This will help her adjust more quickly and mean she’s actually tired enough to fall asleep at 9am when they offer that nap at daycare.

Does that sound okay?

Emma

[Emma H]

Hi Leanor,

It’s great to hear she’s having 3 naps per day, with some lasting 1-1.5 hours and others around 35-40 minutes. On a 3-nap schedule, it’s common for the first two naps to be the longer ones, while the third nap is usually shorter. Is that the case with your little one?

You mentioned that her nap times vary quite a bit. If you’d like more consistency, you could try narrowing her morning wake-up window to 30 minutes – perhaps 6:30-7:00am if that’s when she usually wakes. This will help set a predictable start time for her first nap, which would then fall around 8:30-9:00am. If that first nap tends to run long, you could cap it at 1.5 hours so the second nap also starts at a consistent time, helping the rest of the day fall into place.

It doesn’t sound like you’re waking her overnight, which is great. But since the change happened suddenly, have you noticed whether it coincided with her learning to roll both ways or mastering another developmental skill?

Have you been able to try feeding in a dimly lit room during the day to see if she takes a bigger feed and the impact this has on overnight wakes?

In terms of breastmilk supply, going 12 hours without feeding can reduce supply for some people, but for others it makes little difference. Some parents find their bodies adapt by reducing milk production overnight while maintaining daytime supply. At first, your breasts may feel overly full the first night you skip a feed, but this fullness usually eases over time. If she starts feeding at night again, your body will typically respond by increasing overnight production once more.

If your supply during the day hasn’t changed – and she’s happy, feeding well, and gaining weight – it’s likely your supply hasn’t been affected.

If you’re concerned about supply, you could offer both breasts at each overnight feed. Something you can do is try feeding from one side, then holding her upright briefly to rouse her slightly before offering the other side. This may help her take a fuller feed and potentially reduce overnight waking.

You mentioned that her overnight feeds are “getting bigger.” Do you mean she’s staying awake longer during the night, or that she feeds and falls asleep again quickly?

As for the crying during settling, one possibility is that she’s not quite tired enough, or she may be overtired. When she starts showing tired cues or fussing, try changing her scenery or activity. If she calms down, she may have been bored, which could mean she’s ready for a slightly longer wake window. If she continues fussing, she’s more likely ready for sleep. Tracking these patterns can help fine-tune her wake times.

Lastly, I haven’t read The Happy Sleeper by Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright, so I’m not sure what you mean by “go over to the wave.” Could you explain that part?

Thanks,

Emma

[Emma H]

Hi Kate,

It sounds like your little one is on the move – so exciting but exhausting! Hopefully, she’ll figure out rolling in the other direction soon, so she doesn’t end up spending all her time in tummy time.

From what you’ve described, I do think dropping to 3 naps makes sense – especially since she’s already skipping the 4th nap more often than not. That’s usually a clear sign that it’s time to make the transition.

To help her drop the 4th nap, you can start gradually stretching her wake windows – about 10–15 minutes every couple of days (or even just 5 minutes if you prefer). This helps space the naps so that the 3rd nap ends 2–3 hours before bedtime. You might need to ignore her tired cues a little during this adjustment, but because the increase is so small, she shouldn’t become overtired.

That said, it sounds like her 3rd nap on her current schedule often ends around 3:30pm, which is right where we’d want it to be. If that continues to happen naturally, you may not need to make any big changes – just follow her lead for now and see if the timing continues to align.

If her final nap ends at 3:30pm, she’s currently managing a 3-hour final wake window, though you mentioned she gets quite upset towards the end. If that’s the case, starting the bedtime routine a little earlier – around 6pm – so she’s in bed and falling asleep by 6:30pm could help. Keep an eye on how she handles this last stretch:

• If she’s really struggling, shorten it to 2.5 hours and push the last nap slightly later (around 4pm for a 6:30pm bedtime).

• If you’d prefer a later bedtime (e.g., 7pm), aim for the last nap to finish around 4:30pm.

When I say “9:30am nap,” I mean having her in the crib or in your arms ready to be settled to sleep at 9:30 – not just starting the wind-down. The same applies for bedtime – so “7pm bedtime” means you’re starting to settle her in the crib or arms at 7pm.

I completely understand your hesitation about an earlier bedtime. Often during nap transitions, bedtime temporarily shifts earlier, then moves later again once the new schedule is established and naps lengthen. If you’d like to keep it later, we’ll just need to adjust the day so that the final nap ends closer to your target time.

For trying Option 1, I’m wondering if she might tolerate it better now that she’s sometimes accepting the pacifier and she’s having longer wake windows. You mentioned that when you lay her down, she makes sounds, rolls, grabs her feet, touches the sides of the crib, and more – this could indicate that she isn’t yet tired enough to fall asleep, so stretching them might be helpful.
With that in mind, I was thinking we could try using the pacifier as her main settling aid instead of the bottle. So it might look like this:

1. Without a feed before sleep:

   • Carry her in a side-lying position and offer the pacifier (hopefully she’ll take it).

   • Walk into the bedroom, close the blinds.

   • Slowly walk around the room singing a lullaby, still holding her side-lying.

   • Once calm, lay her down awake in the crib and start patting and shushing straight away, moving up and down the settling pyramid as needed, using the pacifier for extra soothing.

2. If you think she’ll need a feed before sleep:

   • Feed her in the living space and then pop the pacifier in.

   • Carry her in a side-lying position with the pacifier.

   • Walk into the bedroom, close the blinds.

   • Slowly walk around the room singing a lullaby, still holding her side-lying.

   • Once calm, lay her down awake in the crib and begin patting and shushing straight away, using the settling pyramid and pacifier as needed.

Does this make sense and seem doable?

Hi Quraish and Helen,

Sorry – just a few more questions to help me get a clearer picture.

You mentioned your little one is having 3–4 naps per day, sometimes only 10 minutes long, and at most 45 minutes. Can you clarify what you mean by this?

• Is she having 4 naps of around 10 minutes each in total?

• Or is it that she sleeps for about 10 minutes when laid in the DockATot or crib, then wakes, and you hold her for the rest of the nap?

• Or are you needing to re-settle her every 10 minutes during the nap, with the total nap lasting 30–45 minutes (or longer) with your assistance?

I’m just trying to work out when she’s napping on you how long she will stay asleep for?

You also mentioned she tends to stay awake after her morning feed and may have a short play. That suggests this might be the best time to try the settling pyramid, as she’s alert. I was a little surprised to hear she stays awake then, since her morning wake window becomes quite long after the medication, feed, and upright hold.

It’s also worth noting that at 9 weeks, it’s very common for babies to fall asleep while feeding. As she gets older, she’ll naturally start staying awake after more feeds, because her sleep pressure will build more slowly.

Lastly, I want to reassure you, it doesn’t sound like falling asleep on you is currently affecting her sleep overall, especially given that her overnight sleep sounds really good for her age and with severe reflux.

You mentioned you lay her down at night and she goes to sleep – just to confirm, is she already asleep in your arms when you put her in the crib, or is she awake when you lay her down?

Sorry for the extra questions,

Emma
