Description

Answering this weeks Top 5 Questions! This week's questions highlight the following: 

- How do you keep a toddler in their toddler bed?

- How do I deal with early wakes for a 9 month old? I can’t figure out why they’re happening. 

- How much daytime sleep should a 7 month old get?

- My 12 month old has 2 naps every day and is waking at 5:30 am. Do I need a schedule change to get closer to 6am or later for that wake up?

- Should I extend short crib naps with a contact nap, or just continue on with the day?



Don’t need step-by-step sleep coaching, but need advice on age-specific awake times, milestones, regressions, scheduling tweaks, and more? Our Sleep Guides have you covered!
