Planning to start sleep training our newly 5 month old babe using TCB in the next few weeks. Baby is currently still on 4 naps but should we focus on switching to 3 naps before we start? We are also in the magic Merlin.. should we switch to a sleep sack before starting?

Current schedule: wake up between 7-730 am with following WWs 1.75/2/2/2/2 and bedtime is 8:30pm.

At the point where I have to wake from nap #1 to ensure we can get all naps in and we are experiencing quite a few night wakes some nights. Just want to set him up for success before starting! This is my second TCB baby!

I’ve done it once before so I’m not new to the process, but still looking for encouragement about ST baby #2.

Newly 5 months and current schedule is 1.75/1.75/2/2/2 Total nap = 3.5-4 hrs Night = 10.5 hrs

He goes down for naps somewhat independently but fully rocked to sleep for night sleep. In bed for about 10.5 hours over night.. with many, manyyyyyy wakeups for the paci to be put back in. Sometimes it’s 3 and sometimes it’s 8+ so I know it’s time. It’s not good for any of us.

Is schedule ok? Please tell me it won’t be so bad…
