@bluesky123 For that to work (crib hour) you need a good wake window before the nap. My suggestion for you is 2.5 hours before the first nap of the day and leave her until it's been an hour since you put her there. Do it only for the first nap of the day and it works only if she falls asleep...

@bluesky123 What did you do to try to extend then?

@bluesky123 You can work on schedule and extending the naps and that will consolidate the 3 naps schedule. At 6 months, 4 naps isn't giving your baby enough big chunks of time awake and that is likely to cause sleep issue. At 6 months my suggestion is wake window from 2.5 hours.

@shiftybroccoli I really love this sub and would love to help as a moderator. I think the suggestions in this thread are great. In particular the "Sleep training starting today" type of thread so we can better support each other. I don't like as much the idea of consolidating the calls for help...

@ukgirl It changes from baby to baby. Currently baby has a long afternoon nap and is having issues going to bed at night so it can be they are not quite tired with a long afternoon nap, while they want to stay in bed in the morning indicating they want more morning sleep perhaps. So it's a game...

@newfoundglory777 I would encourage a longer nap in the morning and a shorter one in the afternoon. Max 2 hours of total day sleep. Baby isn't broken they just keep changing to keep us on our toes.

@thechurchofgod Oh I don't think it would be a six months thing. Most likely a few weeks only but I have only done this with a younger baby and when she started to get used to the later wake up time we stopped using the floor bed and let her fall asleep on her own in her own bed.

@thechurchofgod Something nobody yet mentioned. Do you have a space in his room for you to join him to make him sleep further? A floor mattress or something. Like...he wakes at 4:12am, you come to his room and sleep with him until 6am and then start the day. Be very boring and do not let him...

@lvmangione Black bin bags and tape

@paramedicmrs Move to two naps so baby is appropriately tired and then slowly reduce the amount you offer in the bottle. If they don't stop waking by the time you're at 1-2 Oz (30-60ml) then you just let them CIO.

@secretsunlight Completely revamping the nap routine (whatever happens before you attempt the nap).

@secretsunlight I would try to move the nap to 12:30. I think that's too long of a wake window. Also change the routine so you reset the dynamics of fighting to sleep. It's probably just a habit at this point too and you will have to break it.

@hunter14 Sleep cues are not reliable after the newborn stage. At this age I would expect your schedule to change every 1-2 weeks. Yes things do change abruptly. Boredom looks like sleepiness at this age.

@sherrybaker Ask me anything.

@hunter14 And btw the wake windows I sent are not a goal per se. Stretch yours and when your problem reduces you can pause.

@hunter14 Your wake windows are very short. For a 5mo my suggestion is 2/2.25/2.5/2.75. stretch wake windows and your maybe perhaps will be able to remain asleep.

@laceylady Sorry no. We have to reschedule.

Unfortunately today's AMA is postponed to mid week due to sickness of Meg's baby.
