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?
