Hello, my 5 month old has 3 naps a day in her cot (or buggy/car) and self settles for these within around 10 mins with a little grumble and no crying. However, bedtime is a different story and I'm not sure if she's over or under tired!
She has two 1.5 or 2 hour naps and then a shorter 30 min nap in the afternoon, normally finishing about 1600/1630 and we use a 2 hour wake window.she probably averages about 3.5 to 4 hours of naps.
Bedtime is normally about 1830. She has a good routine but then either self settles but wakes after 40 mins and cries or fights bedtime and cries. We put her in her cot awake and stay with her until she falls asleep comforting her with touch and voice. She won't take a dummy.
She was fed/rocked to sleep but it stopped working, she woke immediately on putting down/unattached. She's doing so well and I think a tweak is hopefully what is needed but I'm not sure what to try. Any advice!!
