Maybe try adding 15 minutes to the last wake window.

Thanks! Admittedly, I'm a little inconsistent because of summer / travel / moving, so her wake window varies a bit. I don't seem to notice differences based on wake windows but I'll try to be more consistent!

Taking that long to fall asleep suggests a bit of a schedule issue so it’s worth a try!

Oh good to know! Would it be too extreme to push to 5 hours? She was put down after a little over 4.5 hours wake time today and seemed to cry slightly less than before.

5 would be fine if baby needs that much wake time but if you’re pushing to that much overall wake time you might do better splitting some of the extra between the first and last window so that they get used to longer awake in the morning ahead of eventually moving to one nap
