wake to sleep question

[huntersmummyinoz]

am trying W2S at moment to extend my 5mth olds naps.  i have tried at 10mins and 5 mins before usual wake up at 30min mark. i have tried this three times today. i stroked his cheek until he turned head to other side, but every time he still woke at 30mins.  does this mean a)its not working b)i need to wake him more than this?

Hi there.  I haven't used W2S personally since pat/shh worked beautifully for us, but this link might be helpful if you haven't seen it already:

You could try gentle pressure at the 'jolt' times or maybe waiting a minute or two and making him move again.

30 minute naps generally mean that baby is OT, so it's possible his routine may need to be tweaked.

HTH!
