Keep reading for tips to avoid late night bedside Keep reading for tips to avoid late night bedside visits!  You can absolutely make it clear to your child that if they are sick or scared, they can come and see Mom or Dad.  What we are talking about is the late night visits asking where that long lost toy might be or what’s for breakfast!  ➡️ Keep to (or develop) a schedule. The first rule when teaching a baby, toddler, or preschooler to be an independent sleeper is to make sure they are sleeping at the right times and sleeping enough. In short, making their sleep a priority. Later bedtimes will just result in an already overtired child becoming even less reasonable than you thought was humanly possible.  ➡️ Have a family sleep meeting and establish sleep rules. Sit down as a family and talk about the importance of sleep for everyone in the family and create your family sleep rules. Remind them that the more you sleep, the more fun things they can do during the day. Have fun with it!  Choose rules that work well for your family and your child’s temperament. But remember, the goal is for them to sleep on her own and the rules need to reflect that.  ➡️ Have a set bedtime routine. Just as with a smaller baby, recognizing steps that a toddler will take before bedtime gives them a sense of comfort and confidence. It also is a great way to give a clear delineation when time together is ending and bedtime begins. No more “one last things” that turn into another half hour of hijinks. Have fun with the bedtime routine too!  ➡️ Invest in a toddler clock. These are great particularly for early risers. Any toddler clock that can indicate with a light when it is okay to get out of bed will work well. A clock is also a way to get your child excited about the change that’s happening.  ➡️ When in doubt, employ the silent return. Many parents are familiar with this technique, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like—silently returning your wandering child to his or her bed any time he or she wakes.  ➡️ Finally, be consistent!

🛑 MYTH: MY BABY JUST DOESN’T NEED THAT MUCH S 🛑 MYTH: MY BABY JUST DOESN’T NEED THAT MUCH SLEEP  🟢 THE TRUTH: Nap struggles and bedtime battles are the two most common issues I hear amongst parents with babies. At some point parents just decide that their baby is that baby that just doesn’t need to nap and can stay up and watch the Late Show with mom and dad. I’m here to tell you that your baby needs much more sleep in a 24-hour period than you do. Your baby needs up to 14-15 hours of sleep per day up to 1 year of age and up to 12 hours a day for toddlers. It’s important to offer the quantity of sleep that your baby needs to promote better cognitive ability, hand-eye coordination, better behavior and mood, and stronger immune system.
