Q&A: Early Morning Wake Ups, Sleep Habits, Thumb Sucking & More

Answering this week's Top 5 Sleep Questions. This week’s questions highlight the following topics: - My 8 month old is having 5am wake ups every day. She’s still on 3 naps. - I have an 11 month old who wakes early (like 5am) every day. I’ve heard capping the first nap of the day can help with this. Do you think so? - My 11 month old has always sucked her fingers to get to sleep. Is this bad? - What are your best tips for breaking sleep habits with a 2 year old? He still wakes every 2 hours and I have to go rock him. - My baby is 8 weeks old and only feeds and rocks to sleep. Should I be trying to change these habits now? PS.
