Hi Emma,

For some reason I am not able to reply to your last suggestion regarding day-time naps. So I am posting this here 🙂

Awesome, thank you for this suggestion. I am definitely going to do this, “sommer” feeling excited 😀 A very Afrikaans way of saying you are feeling excited about something hehe. But thank you for the last 3 months. I…

Hi Emma,

I am glad all is well, and your youngest is feeling better and that she stopped sucking her finger 🙂

Let me get back to you before my time here runs out (very sad about almost the end of my journey here <3 ). Here are my answers to your questions:

· What time does she wake up in the morning?

Hi Emma, awesome thank you so much 😄

Hi Emma,

Hope you and your family are doing well?

I have a question for you, we have our night time self soothing sorted, 🤗🙏 dummy has been removed. So now we are eventually (+- 2 months later only) getting to the day time nap training. We have the blockouts installed, so it is very dark now. But her day time sleep became very bad, waking up…

Hi Emma,

I have another question for you. My LO is 9 months old. We removed the dummy as you suggested (due to multiple wake-ups during the night). The last part of sleep routine – I breastfed her in our room (lights on), turned the lights off and took her to her room. We rocked her a bit, placed her in the cot drowsy, after rocking her…

Hi Emma,

Hope you are doing well? 🤗

I have a question regarding feeding and bed time. I did not see anything in your video’s explicitly on this. Our LO is 8 months now, her bedtime routine is play, bath, dress, feed (in my room), and then take her to her room, put in her cot (more awake currently) and then she falls asleep.

However, we have…

Hi Emma, thank you for getting back to me 🙂 I did do as you suggested and it seems around 8pm. However, she wakes at 6 am and still does 3 naps. If she wakes at 3 pm she is very tired at 6 pm – 6:30 pm. Should I stretch her for another 2 hours? Or what would you suggest?

Hi Emma, I am glad everyone is doing well 🙂

Awesome, thank you. Apologies for the delayed response, life happened 😄

So we tried the gentler approach but it was not working so we committed and removed the dummy at bed time. She eventually got use to it (about 3 nights). So we started to remove the dummy on Friday for naps. However, it has been…

Hi Emma<div>

My LO, sometimes struggles to fall asleep at the start of the night.

I rock her a bit (like in your video) she becomes drowsy. I put her down and she seems to drift off to sleep only to turn to her back or stomach and start to make babbling noises. She pulls off her socks plays with them, rolls around moves up and down in the cot.…

Hi Emma, hope you are well.

So tonight we did not use the pacifier to put her to sleep. She however she cried, which sounded hysterical (snot and tears), and we quickly moved up the settling pyramid. However after 10 minutes of crying (rocking and singing still could not settle her) we put her down and gave her her pacifier. She settled…

Hi Emma, thank you very much. We will definitely try this. This has been going on for months now and we are exhausted.

Do you think this will also help her stretch her night sleep? Or is it something else? Her maximum stretch is 2.5 hours and I see in your one information sheet that from 4 months they can do anything from 5 hours +. She only…

Hi Emma, apologies I had s typo she is 7.5 months.

She does this (waking after every 2 to 10 minutes) after falling back to sleep (shushing, rocking, patting etc.), during the night as well.

Hi Emma<div>

Thank you, please see my answers below.

1. How old is your baby? She is 6.5 months old.

2. What time does her last nap of the day end? Her last nap typically ends around 3 or 4. She is on 3 naps a day. Usually wakes at 6 am (or earlier).

3. What time is her bedtime? Is this time consistent or does it vary?

Her bed time is consistent…

Hi Emma, we put our baby down at the besinning of night sleep by gently rocking and placing her in the crib drowsy but awake. She falls asleep and within about 5 minutes she is awake and crying. We go in and pat her until she settels and if not we pick her up rock her for a bit and put her down again sleepy but awake. She then moves arms and…
