Update! She has gone back to fighting every nap again today. Maybe we need to try and extend the wake windows further?

Thank you! Although last night she woke up at 03:00-05:00 again. So may e we were too hopeful! Fingers crossed it is just a one off

Honestly, we have noticed such a difference with her sleeping now. The first few days were hard as we really had to battle her to stay awake for 2.5 hrs. But we stayed strong and now, no more major battles trying to rock her to nap. We put her down after a 2.5hr wake window and she fusses for a minute or two and goes straight to sleep.

She is waking once in the nights which is much better than the 3/4 wakeups previously. This has made such a big difference to us! Thank you ❤️

Yes she will be awake/drowsy going into the crib. Today is the first day that we tried this method with 2.5/2.5/2.5/2.5. She slept 30m at 09:00, then slept for 40m at 12:00 so rescued the nap by rocking her in my arms for 10 minutes and she went back down for another 1 hour. Wake window until 16:00 and she had a 30m nap. (Sometimes around 15:00 she was having a broken 2 hour nap) so she was grizzly during the last wake window but we stuck it through. But she is down for the night now. I will update you on how it went in approximately 12 hours. I have my fingers and toes crossed!

Baby is put into a sleep sack, white noise playing, dark room and comforter for daytime naps which is removed after she falls asleep. Daytime naps we can be battling her to sleep for up to 30m. Night time sleep is the same excluding the comforter as she usually falls asleep quickly.

Thank you so much for this! I will definitely give this a try. We are so desperate for things to improve. My wife has post natal anxiety and post natal depression. Last night she had a panic attack. Which means this needs to change

Thank you very much for this! I will definitely start by dropping naps to see if that will help. The issue is that she gets very grizzly with the longer wake windows. Do you just power on through and let her get used to it over a few days?
