I have a question about it..though. It says in their FAQ to transition out of it once a baby starts to roll over in their sleep. Mine is 6 months old and has been rolling over in her sleep for at least 2-3 months now. Does Brendan not roll over? We are co-sleepers so I'm not that worried about night-time sleep, but I've been really working on helping my baby take longer naps. For me the biggest tip is using white noise. That seems to help her nap longer as it drown out all the household sounds.

I don't know what my #1 sleep tip would be... maybe settle into a routine as soon as you can and try to be as consistent as possible? Since I still have little ones it's easy for me to be really consistent about naptimes and bedtimes, but I worry about kindergarten starting next year and our day revolving more around drop off and pick-up than baby's naptime...
