@rosyred It’s my pleasure! It was a game changer for me, and I couldn’t find any US groups or friends who had ever heard of it, so I’m happy to share.
My son is now 15 months and I guess the only thing I would add is to continue to pay attention to their cues and natural rhythms because they will continue to change. Don’t be afraid to experiment a bit (shorter naps, earlier vs later bedtimes etc.) we went from 2 1/2 hour total daytime sleep to 2 hours to 1 1/2 now. And yea, for naps, we have curtains open and no sound machine. Talking to my mom was helpful too! Because sometimes it really does feel like an infant sleep industry. So many things to buy
My son dropped to 1 nap fairly early (11 months I think?) but it was so easy because we’re constantly paying attention to how he was feeling. So if I was to listening to others, I would be nervous that it was too soon and fussing over getting him to nap more. Instead I realized he wasn’t sleepy/didn’t seem to need more than one nap, and that was the extent of the transition lol
There will be ups and downs (for us they coincided with leaps and teething) but otherwise just going with the flow has been such a relief. I love focusing more on nourishing activities and what we’re going to do/play that day rather than having massive anxiety about how he’s going to sleep.
Good luck!!
