Your baby’s internal alarm clock is stuck on 5:40 am, naps stall at a neat 40 minutes, and night-feeds keep creeping forward—sound familiar? In this Sleep Detectives episode, Sally Woods and Bec Maher tackle six rapid-fire questions from the Nap Trapped community, sharing the exact tweaks they use with 1:1 clients (and their own kids) to turn chaos into consistent sleep.

What You’ll Learn
• Why two naps at 7 months often fuels chronic early rising—and how a “bonus” catnap fixes it
• Merino vs. cotton sleep sacks: do the temperature claims stack up?
• The delay-delay-delay trick to stretch 40-minute naps into 90+ minutes
• Anchoring 6-month milk feeds to four-hour intervals without a hunger meltdown
• When (and how hard) to cap an oversized morning nap so afternoons don’t implode
• A step-by-step plan to push 11:30 pm & 4:30 am feeds back—then drop one pain-free
