Huckleberry App

I used it and for the first two weeks you get the sweet spots for free without having to pay for upgrade and I did find it helped form a rough guide ☺️ I don’t use it anymore but I aim to stick to 2.5-3 hour wake windows and that seems so work better for us and either a walk to help nap or rocking to sleep but she only naps 30-40 minutes usually unless we’re on a long walk but she’s only ever had short naps ☺️ sticking to wake windows has helped us massively as well as following sleepy cues x

thank you that's really good to know I will download it and see what it predicts her sweet spots are Ive been trying to get her to go around 2.5hrs between naps but she seems to wake up crying like she's still tired but refusing to go back to sleep 😅 ill give the app a go and hopefully it will help thank you 😊 x

Hey, I'm a gentle sleep consultant - aka I don't agree with cry it out! I just want you to be careful with relying on apps! I use apps all the time to help me watch how long my 9-month-old wake windows are but what it calculates his sleep to be, tends to be wrong! The problem with apps is that they work on an algorithm that doesn't take into consideration the individuality of each child. The best thing you can do is know the right wake windows for your babies age and stick to them rather than an app telling you how many naps they should be having xx

An example is my little one is 9 months so he technically needs two naps. Yesterday we had an appointment so he only had 20 minutes for his first nap. His second nap was 3 hours later and finished at 2ish. The app then told me to give him a 5 hour wake window till bedtime at 7. Which would have made my baby so overtired and caused him to wake up many times over night. Instead following wake windows I gave him a little nap of 30 mins in the evening and he went to bed at normal time content. I hope this makes sense! I'm more than happy you help you out!

I use it and swear by it!! I pay now as my free trial ran out and it's always been pretty spot on with my little one. The more data you put in, the more accurate the recommended 'sweet spot' will be too xxx

thank you Nina it definitely makes sense each baby is different and the app will just predict her sleep. I look for her signs of tiredness like rubbing her eyes etc which is around the 2hr/2hr30 mark but she still just fights it and then only naps 30 minutes and wakes up crying like she's still tired 🥴 xx

my biggest piece of advice is if your little one only has a short nap (under 1 hour) their next wake windows should be shorter. It sounds like she's overtried - very common signs is short naps and waking up upset like you say. Feel free to send me a message on Instagram if you need more help! Just I tend to miss notifications on here xxx

thank you Nina will do xx
