This was really interesting, but I admit I bumped on this throwaway detail:
> Our sleep consultant's plan arrived as a PDF full of conditional logic: wake windows, nap caps, what to do when a nap fails
Every so often, you get a glimpse into a whole world you never knew existed.
This person seems insane. You don’t need to pay a “sleep consultant” to make a plan for your child’s nap times. It’s really not that complicated.

I had no idea that people did this. This sounds expensive.
Just like other people have no idea that we (Scandinavia) let babies sleep outside in a baby carriage wrapped in a tiny sleeping bag. Fresh air is awesome. Cold air is even better.
This works for some babies and is not universal in any way.
