Thank you for the detailed advice! I appreciate your insights on adjusting the bedtime routine and nap schedule for my baby. He’s definitely going through lots of development right now. One of the challenges we have is he keeps standing up when we lay him down on the crib. Do you have any suggestions for handling this? I’ll definitely…

Hi Emma,

It’s been a while since we started using your technique for soothing our baby to sleep. It went great about a month ago; however, we’ve been struggling recently. Our baby is turning 7 months old, and when he was almost 6 months old, he quickly learned to fall asleep without being cuddled. We followed your steps for a bedtime…

Thanks so much! We started making it very quiet before 10 pm. And then he doesn’t wake up at that time anymore!

Hi Emma,

Thanks for your help with our questions and suggestions.Our baby just turned 6 months old. Usually, he falls asleep around 8pm and sleeps until 3-4am without any problems. Sometimes, though, he wakes up earlier and gets upset, like the other night when he woke up at 10pm and cried. I think he just wants to go back to sleep quickly…

Thank you so much. We removed his pacifier from his sleep routine yesterday. I can feel that he will adjust to it very soon.

Hi Emma, just a follow-up question: If we remove the pacifier for our baby at sleep time, do we also need to eliminate its use during his awake time, such as playtime or when he is very fussy?

Thank you so much for your clear and direct steps for us to follow. It’s very helpful!

Hi Emma, thank you for your quick response! I wasn’t aware that babies can sleep on their tummies, as the AAP recommends back sleeping to prevent SIDS. Therefore, we haven’t tried that yet. Another issue is that whenever he rolls over, he gets stuck and cries every single time. He becomes very alert when he rolls over, propping his chest up…

Hi Emma,

Our baby is almost 6 months old, and we’re facing two sleep-related issues:

1. Rolling Over: Our baby tends to roll over before falling asleep, and even during sleep, which wakes him up crying. Despite knowing how to roll back, he gets stuck and cries, becoming very awake in the process. We spend about half an hour trying to roll him…
