Overcoming Contact Napping and Night Wakings: A Tailored Approach to Helping Your Baby Sleep Independently

The Challenge

Mae was a 6-month-old who had always struggled with her sleep. She would only contact nap, resisting being transferred to her cot, which led to inconsistent nap lengths throughout the day. As her night wakings increased, Mae began waking every two hours and would only settle by feeding. While feeding to sleep is natural, the frequent night feeds were starting to affect her day appetite and willingness to accept solids.

Mae’s mother, while understanding of the needs of her daughter, felt the strain of sleep deprivation and longed for a solution that would respect Mae’s temperament and their attachment-based parenting philosophy, while also restoring balance to their sleep routines.

The Solution

After working closely with Mae’s mother, we developed a tailored plan that addressed both Mae’s sleep struggles and their family’s values. The first step was to establish a consistent sleep routine that balanced Mae’s day sleep, ensuring she was getting enough sleep pressure to support restorative overnight sleep.

We gently introduced a new method for Mae’s naps to help transition away from contact napping. This shift was important, as it aligned with Mae’s mother’s desires for a more sustainable sleep solution, without compromising the bond they shared.

By focusing on improving Mae’s night sleep, we aimed to reduce the number of overnight feeds. This would not only help Mae sleep more soundly through the night but also improve her daytime feeds and overall nutrition.

The Outcome

The results were transformative. On the very first night, Mae slept through the night with only one brief wake-up for a feed, a milestone her mother had not expected. Mae’s daytime naps became more restorative, and she even began to self-settle, extending her naps on her own.

Mae’s mother was overjoyed by the newfound balance in their lives. She had never imagined that Mae could sleep so peacefully in her bassinet, and the relief she felt from finally getting restorative sleep herself was immense. Mae’s mother was now able to feel more present and engaged during the day, and the bond they shared grew even stronger as both mother and baby found the rest they so desperately needed.

A Note on Individualised Support

Every baby is unique, and while Mae’s journey has led to these positive changes, it’s important to understand that what works for one family may not be the right fit for another. Sleep support is deeply personal, and we take a holistic, tailored approach to find the best solution for each family’s needs and circumstances.
