Here we are, sorry if TMI!
FYI
Wind down = closing blinds, white noise on, song, swaddle and short sit as she starts squirming. I didn’t include these in the times given for active settling below.
BT = Into nursery, dimmed lights, change and short massage, sit in chair to BF, then go into our room and do wind down routine.
I would continue shppat for 7-10 mins after her eyes closed for each sleep
