If we extend her wake windows till 2,5 hours, do we have to cap her naps? And which one or all of them? Otherwise it wouldn’t fit to keep her bedtime at around 8-8.30pm if the wake windows extend and the naps stay the same.

The last couple of days when we lay her in bed awake she…

Hi Emma,

Thank you for your extensive reply.

We will start phasing out the pacifier later on when she enjoys feeding again.

For now we have been working on getting her used to sleep in the her own crib instead of our bed and that’s working perfectly!

1 – Consistent wake up time

We tried to have a consistent wake up time of 7 am but because of the…
