It’s that magical time of year filled with festive gatherings, sweet treats, and plenty of holiday excitement—but also the potential for major sleep disruptions. Between travel, late-night events, and a constantly changing schedule, little ones can quickly become overtired, making the season feel a lot less merry. 

In this episode, we break down why holiday sleep struggles happen and share practical, realistic tips to help keep your baby well-rested amidst the chaos. With a little planning and patience, you can enjoy the holidays without sacrificing sleep for your family!!

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!

- My 7.5 month old baby is on 2 naps per day but often waking for the day at 4:30-5am, how can I get him to sleep later?

- My 8.5 month old will only nap for 30 minutes. I have tried various changes to his wake windows with no success. Do you have any other advice?

- My 16 month old has been on one nap for a month, and it’s still only ever an hour. I’m doing a 6pm bedtime every night. When will her nap lengthen?

There are a few of main things we focus on with families when they come to us for 1-on-1 support with sleep coaching. They are the things that set up a great foundation for amazing sleep for your infant, toddler and even pre-schooler... these things are scheduling, sleep coaching strategies and ROUTINES. 

Today we are specifically focusing on the bedtime routine. What a great bedtime routine can look like, and why each element of a bedtime routine is so important to overall healthy rest. You can have great scheduling and sleep strategies, but if you don't have a consistent routine it will be much harder to get your child to go down for sleep and get the rest they need!

REPLAY of our DST episode!

 Yes the words "time change" can be any parents nightmare, BUT this is the good time change I promise!  Coming up is the beginning of Daylight Saving Time, or the spring forward and  anything that could potentially throw off our little's schedule can be scary.  

 Now if you have an early waker, around 5:30am, you will now see that turn into 6:30am for you! But again, any schedule changes can be stressful so here are a few ways you can prepare and approach the Daylight Saving Time.
