Sleep Training Your Toddler Gentle & Effective Methods
Understanding Your Toddler’s Sleep Needs
Toddlers, typically between the ages of 1 and 3, are going through a period of significant development. Their sleep needs are still substantial, usually between 11 and 14 hours a day, including naps. However, their sleep patterns can be quite unpredictable due to developmental leaps, teething, and separation anxiety. Understanding this developmental stage is key to approaching sleep training with empathy and effectiveness. Remember that a tired toddler is often more difficult to manage, making consistent sleep habits crucial for the well-being of both the child and the parents.
