Get of the details of transitioning your toddler to a one nap schedule. What are the signs your baby is ready? How do you make the change from 2 naps to 1?
Self-care has always been hugely important to me and is the reason I started my sleep training business. How can you take care of everyone around you if you aren’t taking care of yourself? It’s the best thing you can do for yourself, your family and your work life. Believe me, your kids will be grateful for the extra patience and connection they get when YOUR bucket is filled up.
When I have a discovery call with tired parents to discuss their baby’s sleep, short naps are the most common struggles they mention. They tell me they spend 30 minutes trying to get their baby to fall asleep only to have them wake up 30 minutes later. If you have a baby that naps 4 times a day, putting them down could take up hours of your day. Rough!
When your baby is learning a new skill, there is a pretty good chance it’s going to disrupt their sleep. Babies love to practice these skills when they should be sleeping.
Rolling over is one of the first big developmental milestones that affects sleep. Most babies start to roll over around 4 months old. But, every baby is different and it may not happen until baby is closer to 6 months old.

Hello, Toddlers!

Toddlers and preschoolers (and big kids) are master negotiators and have the best stalling tactics. They need an extra trip to the potty, another hug from big brother, a snack, or a sip of water, they are scared. This list goes on and on. They can turn a 30-minute bedtime routine into an hour and a half easily. How do they do it?
The bedtime routine can be a lovely time to connect with your child. It’s not lovely if the routine becomes so long that it eats into the amount of time they need to be sleeping. Or if it prevents you from having time for yourself or your partner each evening. They are both equally important.
Let’s not forget the Big Kids
