Is it too late to sleep train an 8-month-old? Should you resettle after a 30-minute nap—or just move on with your day? And what happens to naps when life (and social events) clash with baby’s schedule?

In this week’s Sleep Detectives, Sally & Bec tackle your real-life baby sleep “cases,” mixing evidence-based advice with lived experience. From pram naps at a winery lunch to the science behind that short third nap, here’s the practical, no-judgement insight parents actually need.

What You’ll Learn:
• Why 8 months is a perfect age to start sleep training
• How to juggle naps around events and still enjoy your life
• The secret purpose of the 30-minute “steam release” nap
• When (and how long) to resettle a catnap before giving up
• How night feeds impact the crucial 7am anchor feed
• Why schedules = freedom, not restriction
