Description

Answering this week's Top 5 Sleep Questions. This week’s questions highlight the following topics:

- How can I support my 12 week old who only does contact naps to transition to bassinet naps?

- 1 nap for my 17 month old has been very tough. He is doing short naps, including at his new daycare. How can I lengthen his naps?

- My 15 month old just started a new daycare and isn’t always going down for a nap. How do I handle days when he doesn’t nap?

- My 4 month old has a good first stretch of sleep then wakes every hour after 2am. Is this the 4 month regression?

- What are some signs that my 4.5 year old’s bedtime is too early?
