Followed Ngala 5-min check-in rule all night

The Ngala sleep helpline said to wait a full five minutes before any check-in even when the crying hit that sharp pitch right after midnight. I noted their exact sequence for the first two wake-ups and followed it through the rest of the night. The second check-in ended up needing an extra minute before she settled.

Sounds like sticking to their sequence paid off even with that extra minute on the second round. The sharp pitch ones can throw you off if you jump in too soon.

The extra minute on that second check-in was enough to get her back down, and the sharp pitch didn’t hit again after midnight.
