Anyone dealt with false starts? How long did it last for you? My baby is STILL having them, she’s 13 months and has done since about 5 months. Pretty much every single night since then 😭😭😭 I’m so done with it now I thought she’d have stopped by this age 😩

They’re not tired enough, or you’re assisting to sleep… we
Had this pre 5m before sleep training. Once we learnt about 24 hour sleep needs and chucked generic awake windows in the bin and she went to sleep independently we’ve never ever had another awful night - she’s 2.5 now x

How much sleep is she getting in the day? How many hours awake before bed. Normally means that its either too much day sleep or not enough wake time before bed.
At 13 months my son was on 2 naps, 30 to 40 mins 4 hours after waking up and then another 30 to 40 nap 3 hours after waking up.
Wake up was around 7am, first nap was 10/10.30am then second nap was around 2pm.
Wake window before bed was 4 to 5 hours.
Might be worth working out how much wake time she needs before bed.

We had to really focus on daytime naps when we had false starts. Like no naps on the move, all contact naps. It seemed to fix it within about a week. Agree that usually with false starts especially there is hope and a fix somewhere in routine! X
