    Q&A: Nap Transitions, Short Naps & Night Wakings... What’s Normal?

    Answering this week's Top 5 Sleep Questions. This week’s questions highlight the following topics: - My 14 month old is on one nap. He is sometimes awake for two hours in the middle of the night. He wakes at 6am, naps at noon for 2 hours, and goes to bed at 7pm. Any suggestions to help with the night wakes? - Can you give me a good napping and bedtime schedule for a newly 2 year old? - We just switched my freshly 8 month old baby to 2 naps, but he’s crying and taking 40 minutes to fall asleep now. Should we go back to 3 naps? - My almost 6 month old is still taking mostly 30-45 minute naps. We keep him up for about 2 hours between each nap. Any suggestions to help lengthen naps? - Is it normal for my 16 month old to be taking shorter naps when first starting 1 nap days? The Happy Sleep Company’s Infant / Toddler Sleep Program is suited best for children who are 14 weeks to 3 years of age and still sleeping in a crib. Children at this age need healthy sleep for proper development, to boost their immune systems, and to help them take in the big, bright, ever-changing world around them. At this age and in this environment, amazing sleep habits can be established very quickly with loads of consistency and tons of love involved! We will work closely with your family to develop a sleep plan that is right for your child, and help you help your little one to be sleeping through the night and taking proper naps within our two weeks together!
