Hi, chances are you are on my page because yourself or someone close to you is struggling with infant/toddler sleep. It is one of the biggest issues parents face and one of the first questions we ask one another "how are they sleeping?"
Yet we are given such little, if any information on the facts surrounding sleep and the best practices to ensure sleep times are a positive experience. I am a mother of a wonderful little girl and not so long ago was also in a position of despair and sleep deprivation. This all turned around for me when I reached out and got the information and tools I needed to establish positive routine and equip my daughter to sleep well. I am a paediatric nurse so healthy and safe sleeping are at the forefront of my practice. I understand where you are at and urge you to take the necessary steps to put happy back into your home and relationships.

As little ones head towards 2 years and beyond, they may start moving towards 6 hours of awake time. This can vary from child to child. For some little ones, 5 hours is plenty, particularly before their nap, while others may comfortably manage closer to 6 hours awake.

As always, use this as a guide and adjust to suit your little one. 🤍

This can feel like such a tricky stage but before rushing to drop that second nap, think about sleep pressure. If your little one is getting drowsy in the car or on the milk before nap two, even that little bit of drowsiness can take the edge off their sleep pressure and make the nap harder.

If they fall asleep that way and it works for you, absolutely use it! But if you’re trying to keep them awake to then put them down in their sleep space, protect that sleep pressure as much as you can.

And remember, 11 months is still very much on the younger side to drop to one nap. The transition usually happens somewhere around 14–19 months, so we don’t need to rush it. 🤍

One-nap schedules can vary so much at this age! Some little ones need a little more awake time in the morning, others need more before bed, and nap length can vary day to day too. Use this as a guide, not a rule, watch your little one, adjust where needed and remember there’s no perfect schedule that suits every child. 🤍
