Transition from 3 to 2 naps
hi. My 9.5 month old son recently is transitioning to 2 naps. When we are home he does great- nap around 2.5 hours after wake up unless he is tired. Then an afternoon nap around 1-130. But at daycare he barely sleeps! We have discussed many times and he is just too nosy or has FOMO. So, his last wake window seems to be too…

Multiple wakings throughout the night
Our 9month old has never been a good sleeper. We hired a sleep consultant to teach us to let him fall asleep independently which worked great. However, he still wakes up multiple times a night looking for his pacifier. If we don’t give it to him fast enough, he begins to cry and it becomes harder to get him back to sleep.…

9 month old short naps and early morning wakings
For about 3 months my baby has taken mostly 30-40 minute naps and wakes at 5-5:30am in the morning. We have tried everything. He is sleep trained and falls asleep independently. We always leave him in the crib for at least 20 minutes after a short nap to give him a chance to resettle, and we never take him out of the crib…

My husband and I have tried just about everything you could think of to get them to sleep, but nothing seems to work. The boys are in separate rooms so they don’t wake each other up.

Help! 4mo baby fights sleep
hi! I’m so happy you’re doing this! Ever since going cold turkey with the binky two weeks ago my soon to be 4 month old has been SCREAMING as soon as any sleep routine starts, and is inconsolable unless picked up.

False Alert using Sleep Sack
We have been using the Nanit and the sleep bands and love it with no issue. However during the Black Friday sale, I got two sleep sacks that have the bands on the sack. We have used the sack the last two nights, and for two nights in a row, we have gotten false red alerts. When using the band, no issue. But when using the…

2 Year Old Sleep Struggles - Nightmare
As of late my two-year-old has been struggling for naps and bedtime. Previously we would just put her down for naps and bedtime and she would lay there quietly and fall asleep on her own. The last 3+ weeks have been a nightmare, to say the least. We have a 7.5-month-old as well so not sure if that has anything to do with…

Transition to 1 nap
hello! 2 weeks ago we started the 1 nap transition for our 15 month old baby. She wakes up usually at 6 and sometimes sleeps back for 1h after feeding.
