Constant false starts at bedtime

We had this for a while, particularly after his 4m sleep regression & found it brutal! If falling asleep is assisted, then encouraging independent sleep might help?

How many/how long are your babies naps in the day? It had gotten to the point where my baby would only contact nap in the day and had to be fed to sleep and would wake multiple times a night and again had to be fed to sleep. I started working with a sleep consultant and it seemed that she was napping for too long in the day so wasn’t tired enough at night and we needed to teach independent sleep to break the feed to sleep association. In less than 2 weeks she is now napping in her crib during the day and doing 10 hour stretches at night. It may also be that the wake windows aren’t long enough? My baby is doing nearer a 2hour 50-3 hour wake window before bed

Usually 3 a day all lasting half an hour so I dont think its that.

I am gonna try extending the last wake window and breaking the feed to sleep habit too.

Thank you xx

I am also going through this but I have started putting a hot water bottle on the materess to warm up a bit so she’s not startled when put down also putting on side the rolling to back and holding both hands together on chest for 30-40 seconds to help the feeling of still being held but false starts are common my little girl does a 3 hour stretch before bed and will still do this
