Out of the Room for Naps + How to Handle Illness Without Losing Progress 4–6 Months | Day 11
Welcome to Day 11! You and your little one are doing an amazing job—and you’re so close to the finish line. Today, Dana Obleman covers two important topics: how to move out of the room for naps and what to do if your baby gets sick during sleep training.
You’ll learn:
– How to apply the “leave and check” method during daytime naps
– Why it’s important to stay consistent even if baby protests at first
– What to do if your little one gets sick—without losing the progress you’ve made
– How to offer comfort without reverting to sleep props like rocking or night feeds
– A better alternative to bringing baby into your bed when they’re unwell
💡 Tip: If your doctor recommends night feeds for hydration during illness, try to limit it to 3 nights to avoid creating new sleep associations.
📥 There’s a fantastic downloadable guide on how to handle sleep training during illness available inside https://sleepsense.net/plus. It’s one of the most helpful resources for this stage.
👶 This course is designed for babies aged 4–6 months. If your child is older or younger, check the Playlists section of my YouTube channel to find the right plan.
