Rolling babies stuck on their tummies, confusing wake windows in the 2–1 nap transition, and the never-ending question: does the 6-month regression actually exist? In this week’s Sleep Detectives, Sally & Bec answer your real questions—straight from Instagram, Spotify comments, and inbox DMs.

What You’ll Learn:
• What to do when your 6-month-old rolls onto their tummy and cries
• Why the “short–long” nap structure makes sense at 12–15 months
• Avent bottles: classic vs anti-colic—do the options matter?
• How to shift a snacker onto 4-hourly feeds (without endless crying)
• Dressing for 20–21°C nights: TOG ratings explained
• Why Sally & Bec don’t buy into a true “6-month regression”
• Why 6 months is actually the perfect age for gentle sleep work
