Navigating Naps
Babies’ wake times increase roughly once per month, until they settle into one nap between 12 to 15 months, or as late as 18 months. If you find that your baby is suddenly struggling to nap well, check out my All About Naps document, to help guide you through nap transitions and appropriate wake times. Included here are some other very helpful resources. If you ever need advice with a hurdle, simply contact me to discuss possible solutions!
Wake Times Chart
Check your baby’s wake time to ensure it’s still age appropriate. If not, this is an easy fix! Sometimes we get stuck in a good schedule that works. Until one day… It stops working. Review my full Wake Times Chart to see where your child should be. Then adjust the schedule accordingly. Sometimes even 15 minutes can be enough to help improve sleep!
Nap Troubleshooting Checklist
Nap Transitions
Your child is getting older, and it could be time for a nap transition. My All About Naps document will walk you through each change, or view these helpful videos. The nap transitions generally occur at:
6 to 9 months … 3 naps to 2 naps
12 to 15 months … 2 naps to 1 nap
3 to 4 years old … 1 nap to no nap

Navigating Sleep
Sleep is ever evolving and changing as our babies become toddlers – then preschoolers, children and beyond. With the tools in your Graduate Documents and consistency, you will be prepared to set your munchkin up for sleep success. If you run into problems, just contact me to help navigate through at any point.
Sleep Troubleshooting Checklist
Sleep is complex. In order to maintain our healthy, independent sleep skills, it’s essential that we remain consistent in ALL THINGS SLEEP. This Sleep Troubleshooting Checklist can help you pinpoint what changes need to be made and get back on the right track.

Crib Climbing Tips
I suggest using the crib until your munchkin is 3 to 4 years old. If you find your toddler trying to escape, below are some tips to try to keep him in longer. If you have tried all of these tricks and your toddler is still escaping, it’s time to switch to a big bed for safety. Check out my Crib to Big Bed Transition document, to help guide you through. The freedom of a big bed, plus boundary pushing can make things quite challenging. If you need guidance on how to make this transition, contact me to find the best level of support for you. It is easier to start off with good rules and boundaries, and be prepared for success. I’m always here if you need me!
- If the front of the crib is shorter than the back, turn it around so the shortest side is facing the wall.
- Remove any items from the crib your toddler may be using to climb on to get out.
- A sleep sack can prevent them from being able to swing their leg over the side.
- “Naughty Monkey” pajamas can prevent him from being able to swing his leg over, if he refuses to use a sleep sack. These are essentially footsie PJs, with a piece of material between the knees so a leg can not be lifted up.
- Drop the mattress to the lowest setting it can safely go.
