Dear Emma,

thank you for your answers.

Yes, I ended up bringing her to bed at 19:15 after a 2.5 hour last wake window. She ‘only’ slept until 5:55. But could have been worse.so in the future when that happens I will proceed like that, knowing that the transition from 4 to 3 naps is process and won’t work smoothly every day.

Thank you so much for…

Dear Emma,

thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I hope your little one feeling much better and will have a swift recovery.

It makes sense what you are saying. I have a doctors appointment in 10 days and if he also gives me the green light I will start with the training – either in the snoo or on her mattress where she sleeps next to…

Dear Emma,

Thanks so much for your thoughful suggestions. A couple of questions back and then I am ready to start.

You are sure she is undertired and not already overtired? I have heard from a midwife that there are sensitive babies whose sleep cues can be very mild (e.g. a fleeting yawn, a moment of stillness, or slight gaze aversion) and…

Hi Emma

Thanks for your thoughful questions.

– What time she wakes in the morning and if this is consistent: She used to wake up at 7:30 (bedtime 20:30-21:00), but lately I am getting a lot of earlier wakeups, around 6:30 ish, so I might need to move her wake-up time and therefore her bed time? Correction: Last night, I couldnt get her down for…

Dear Emma,

First of all my apologies for not replying to your last reply. Somehow the problem got better on its own and I forgot about it.

I have some questions and I am positing it here, since it is the same baby…

She is 15 weeks now, and we are in the middle of the 4 month sleep regression I am afraid.

She is waking up sometimes 8 or more times…

Dear Emma, thanks for all your helpful advice. I am eager to try it all out once I have the capacity. There is something going on with my LO since a couple of days, where I would like to get your take on.

One day we had a happening where we couldnt bring her to sleep in time at mid day… this escalated and she almost didnt sleep at all that…

Dear Emma,

Thanks for your detailed answer. Amazing!

I will keep a record on the nap length – wake window length/time it took to settle her. Because I am still a bit confused, if she is showing sleepy cues, how long I can wait? A couple of days ago as an experiment I really took her quite early for her nap, and then it went almost faster then if…

Hi Emma

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, she cluster feeds often, or that is what I offer her when she cant fall asleep between 19:00 and 21:00 and she happily takes it. I dont really see her slow way down though, her breathing is most of the time very “agitated” while sucking – matching her awake and slightly agitated state she has in the evening. I…

hi Emma

First of all, thank you for all the great material that you have put together her for us parents!

I am really struggling with the implementation though. And I wonder if I just have a baby with a “difficult temperament” (if that is the case, what can be done?) or if there is something I am missing.

My baby girl is 8 weeks now. At the…

Thank you, Emma. For your thoughtful response and the video!

Hi Emma,

First of all, thank you so much for all your helpful resources—I’m really enjoying your course!

My daughter is now five weeks old, and I started gentle sleep training with her a couple of days ago. However, I’m working through a lot of mixed feelings about it. She generally prefers to sleep on top of me, my partner, or in a baby…
