Night 4: Moving Further Away & How to Extend Naps 4–6 Months | Day 4 – Part 2
Welcome to Night 4! Tonight is a key milestone in helping your baby become a more independent sleeper. Dana Obleman explains how to take the next step in the “stay in the room” method by moving your chair to the middle of the room—a subtle but powerful signal to your baby that they’re learning to sleep on their own.
You’ll learn:
– Why changing your position in the room matters (even just a few feet!)
– How to avoid overusing touch, which can become a new sleep prop
– When and how to offer brief reassurance without creating new habits
– Bonus: Two practical strategies to help extend short naps during the day
🛏️ Don’t be afraid to take this next step. The more space you create, the more your baby learns that they have the tools to fall asleep on their own.
☀️ And for daytime naps, it’s okay to use gentle interventions to help your baby get the rest they need—especially if a short nap throws off the whole schedule.
