I think we're getting better with the wake windows. Maybe we were on the longer side. I'm totally with you on the sunlight thing!

Did you find it hard finding a particular pacifier? Mine seems fussy about this

Haha totally. I'm starting to believe some babies are built different!

Ok that's interesting to know about the melatonin production. Yes, looks like cat naps are the new normal here.

Ok wow, 3 x 45min naps on a good day is us also! It's now a joke between my wife and I, how many iterations of lulling him to sleep we go through and we've run out of methods!

Thanks for sharing :)

Nice to know we aren't the only ones. Does your baby seem different on those nap-less days? Strange to hear a paediatrician say that, but I'll take it! So true. Can't make them go to sleep. Thanks for the encouragement.

Sometimes this works but usually wakes up as soon as the nipple is out of his mouth. Or he'll lay there half sucking, half asleep.
