Stomach Sleeping
When did your baby start to sleep on its stomach? We’re transitioning to a sleep sack and he’s rolled over a few times, but we’re too paranoid to let him stay that way overnight even with the breathing wear on. My son hasn’t really rolled from his stomach to back yet, but is strong enough to lift his head and crawl. Did…

Restless baby
My nearly 10 MO seems to be so restless lately. For awhile he was sleeping so sounding, breaths down to 18/19 breaths per minute, and now not only is he not sleeping through, he’s breaths are never lower than 22. Anyone else experience anything similar?

Hard time with evening naps
My 11week old won't sleep suddenly in the crib after being soothed for his last nap. The sleep environment is the same and he gets soothed the same way for every sleep. He usually takes 4 naps in the day and they progressively get harder to put him to sleep. The fourth naps he often is skipping now because he is completely…

Darkness required for daytime naps
I was curious if it’s preferable to use a completely dark room for daytime naps? I often see it’s mentioned that complete darkness is preferable, even in the day, but I don’t understand why. Everything I’ve read says that melatonin will only increase at night so what is the benefit of using a dark room for a daytime nap.…

How do you handle/adjust different wake up times with the nanit schedule?

2 1/2 month old stopped lifting head during tummy time
Our 2 1/2 month old girl stopped lifting her head during tummy time. We had 3 weeks of amazing results where she was holding her head up and didn’t even want to put it down and then all of a sudden the last several days she’s not lifting her head at all. Should we be concerned?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Daytime Naps
Hello! I’m looking for some advice/tips for my 3.5 month old and his daytime naps. At night, my son sleeps great in his crib for long durations of time. But during the day, it’s a different story. He’ll only sleep for 30 min at a time. If I’m holding him or if he’s in his lounger, he’ll sleep longer, up to 1.5-2 hours.…
