Thank you for your insight, yes I absolutely understand what you are saying.

I have been trying to stretch her last wake window, and it may be helping, however, still trying to work out all the bumps along the way.

Mostly I’ve been trying to give her the most time awake as possible and it’s helping, 1 out of the last 3 nights she actually…

Emma,

Yes that sounds great! The only issue is that I think I already messed it up. Today she woke up at 0700, last night she went to bed close to 8. The latest I’ll let her sleep is 0700, my goal wake up time is 0630 but the last 2 days she has been waking at closer 0630/0645. So I thought 7 wasn’t such a stretch. Did I let her sleep too…

Yes you are correct about the timing you were clarifying for wake up times at night. She is relatively fussy in the day as well could be from lack of sleep or teething? Both?

I have been giving her a small bottle, ibuprofen and sometimes baby orajel when she wakes up at the 2 am time and that helps her go back to sleep until 4 am the last 2…

Hi Emma,

I have tried as suggested to essentially mix the order up of the sleep routine and to put her sleeping bag on outside of the room etc. that has seemed to help with immediately crying and fighting while just walking in the room so that’s good. However, after a few days (or maybe a week?) things started ramping up. For a few days she…

I notice that my daughter is getting really upset with me when we even walk in to the room for nap time and bed time. She will scream and cry is so difficult to settle and will even turn her back to me completely when I’m trying to calm her. It’s heartbreaking and so difficult. My husband happened to be home and put her down for a nap without a…

Wow thank you, it seems like common sense, but it isn’t. I’m so glad to report that after tweaking things a little and relying more on using shushing and patting in crib my little cutie slept the whole night!! No wake at 3 am I’m so impressed. Still having nap troubles maybe from her getting so sleepy during feeding. I will try as…

Yes thank you so much,

I’ll try the feeding at the 3-4 am wake up. And see if that has any effect on her waking up and going back down.

Also, last puzzle piece, I notice my baby gets so tired after eating, and can get that crazy baby mania then it’s all down hill. I think it’s because she wakes up tired from her nap, has a feed, which makes her…

1. Based on your description of her sleep routine, it sounds like either you or your husband are currently holding her until she falls asleep (which makes total sense for where she’s at right now!). I’m just wondering—after you finish singing her nap song, are you walking her around the room, rocking or patting her, or standing still while she…

Hi,

I am at my wits end. My 6 MO is fighting every nap and every bedtime. I have tried the pyramid method I have tried PUPD, I have tried Ferber (modified) my baby will scream cry if I leaver her in the crib unsettled.

I have tried shorter wake windows , but she just cries and fights me until a longer wake window time frame anyways.

I will…
