This week's Sleep Detectives tackles six parent questions spanning the full baby sleep spectrum. From nap schedule basics to stubborn early rising, Sally and Bec walk you through the specific fixes that actually work when you're juggling childcare, short naps, and wake times that feel like they're conspiring against you.
They cover everything from the six month nap schedule everyone should master to why your toddler suddenly hates the pram at nap time. Plus the tricky stuff: whether to bring back that 5am feed, how to break out of the early-to-bed-early-to-rise trap, and when to actually drop from four naps to three.
What You'll Learn: • The exact nap schedule for a six month old sleeping 7:30-7:00 • Why the third nap is only 30 minutes (and the two hour wake window to bed) • How to get an 11 month old to nap in the pram without a fight • The 9:30 nap rule that fixes childcare early rising patterns • When to drop the 5am feed versus when to bring breakfast in • Whether four month olds should transition to three naps yet • How to shift early rising on a two nap schedule without chaos
