Are you making this sleep mistake? 🤔

Not being patient with the sleep training process can deter your child’s progress. It can be difficult, frustrating even, to hear your child cry. However, there is bound to be pushback; if your child is accustomed to being held at bedtime, they will likely be upset when you suddenly stop holding them. It takes time to break a habit and start a new one, but patience and consistency are key. ☝️

We frequently emphasize the importance of bedtime routines around here, but should they be limited to nighttime sleep? 🤔

The answer is…

❌ No! Your child’s nap routine should simply be an abbreviated version of their bedtime routine for night sleep. The routine you follow for naps is designed to help your child’s brain go from play to sleep, which is more difficult during the day. At night, the brain produces melatonin, and there is all the sleep pressure built up from the day helps you fall asleep at night. None of that exists during the day, so naptime routines can help your child’s ability to shut down for sleep.

Adhering to awake windows is important. If your child is awake for too long, they'll become overtired, thus making it harder for them to fall asleep at night. 🌙

Here is a simple and handy guide outlining ideal awake windows. Make sure you save it for later and share it with someone who might need it!

Managing parent preferences at bedtime can be difficult. Here's what it might look like for you:

✨ Prepare your child for change: start talking to your child about how each parent will take turns putting them to bed so they know what to expect.

✨ Support your child's feelings: You can let them know, “I know that you miss Mommy. Tomorrow it will be her turn to do bedtime. Which of these two books do you want to read tonight?”

✨ Use a visual cue: Incorporate something like a calendar to keep track of whose turn it is, so your child knows ahead of time.

✨ Stand your ground: Don't give in to temper tantrums!
