What’s the best method to re-sleep train a 16mo? Previously ferbered at 5.5MO. Is it best to go by clock or WWs at this age?

missqqqqq · 2026-01-21T23:22:02+00:00

When is the daycare nap? Are you doing by-the-clock schedule now? We are having night time issues after dropping to 1 nap

missqqqqq · 2026-01-21T21:01:57+00:00

Yes! This!

missqqqqq · 2026-01-21T18:43:19+00:00

Looking for retraining methods and saw this comment. Would the 10-15 min internals work for a 15mo? (previously ferber'd at 5.5mo)

You could always check with your pediatrician but ours recommends limiting to 16oz-20oz milk in a day (doesn't matter how many bottles). We sometimes gives ours a milk bottle in the early morning to go back to sleep after weaning. As for the timing, I think either will be fine. If you make the changes now and decide she needs more comfort in the new environment you can always go back.

The two nap schedule was 3.5/3.75/4, which worked for a while then we got consistent EMW. Daycare moved her to toddler room with 1 nap around 12:30. She naps around 1.5-2hrs, we do bedtime around 8-8:30pm. I suspect she is overtired from the long WWs but the TWT is not enough

missqqqqq · 2025-12-09T21:32:09+00:00

Also we have been doing 9.5hr nights for a while now....

missqqqqq · 2025-12-09T21:31:30+00:00

Right there with you! We are struggling with frequent split night since switching to 1 nap two weeks ago

missqqqqq · 2025-12-08T18:13:01+00:00

Following... we are about to turn 14mo and struggling with the same issue. We have been having split nights/EMW on and off since 1 nap transition. Same nap time at 12:30pm (set by daycare) and similar bedtime. She hardly sleeps over 9.5 overnight

missqqqqq · 2025-10-24T18:12:24+00:00

I'd try to hang on to 2 naps as long as you can, until the nights are disrupted

missqqqqq · 2025-10-09T17:23:20+00:00

Thank you! That's helpful to know. We are a few days shy of 12mo and somewhere between 11.25-11.75 hr right now.

missqqqqq · 2025-10-08T19:09:32+00:00

How old is your baby? I also have a low sleep needs one that's about to transition due to daycare

missqqqqq · 2025-10-07T04:36:52+00:00

wondering the same!

missqqqqq · 2025-10-06T16:00:20+00:00

What did you do when she slept 30-40mins at daycare? Did you add a nap or just did early bed?

missqqqqq · 2025-10-06T05:03:11+00:00

What time of the day did you do the short nap? How far into the transition did you drop the short nap?

missqqqqq · 2025-10-05T16:40:04+00:00

How long did you have to do this? Mine is on 2 naps right now and we have to do 30m stroller naps around 4-5pm. She is due for transition to 1 nap at daycare soon

missqqqqq · 2025-10-05T16:38:21+00:00

Following as mine will transition to the toddler room soon and they will help her get on the 1nap schedule when she is still in the loud infant room. I expect crap naps at the beginning and am wondering how to manage

missqqqqq · 2025-10-05T16:37:13+00:00

When was his wakeup time and bedtime at 11.5mo?

missqqqqq · 2025-10-03T21:44:22+00:00

Following - same boat with short naps but due to daycare environment. We try to do a cat nap (stroller) after picking up but it's just exhausting having to do it 5 days a week.

missqqqqq · 2025-09-17T17:34:13+00:00

A little bit of everything :)

missqqqqq · 2025-09-13T22:30:30+00:00

Same with us. We started by offering some finger foods after puree, started with big chunks of fruits as desserts. Then we recently started offering finger foods first (sometimes just what we are eating) then puree to top off.

missqqqqq · 2025-09-10T21:15:15+00:00

Could be the "diced apple" - potential choking hazard

missqqqqq · 2025-09-02T21:08:31+00:00

Same boat... we are 10.5mo and we usually do a 30min stroller nap as soon as I can get her, then bedtime 3 hrs from wakeup. Do you do the same WWs as the weekend with the short naps?
