Episode 49-"Is there ever a time I should wake my sleeping child?"

I am sure you have heard the term, “never wake a sleeping baby”. However, this my friends is not correct!

If we allow a child to sleep as long as they want to for some nap/s it can affect other elements to a successful 24 hour sleep cycle. A child can only sleep a certain amount (depending on their age and their own sleep needs), and just because we may enjoy the 2 hour break in the middle of the day it doesnt mean they are capable of sleeping that duration of nap AND a full 12 hours over night.

If your child is above 4 months old and you are wanting to start establishing a regular feeding and sleep routine OR if you are having issues with night waking, early rising or long naps…listen up!

Too much day sleep can result in: 

-difficulty settling your child at bedtime

-experiencing night wakes

-or early rising 

But how do you fix these issues?! This can be the tricky part. 

You may not know the optimal and correct nap times, nap durations, awake times, bedtime for your child's age.
