Weekly Toddler Sleep Help Question for The Sleep Lady: “I have an almost 2 year old toddler (will be 2 in a couple weeks) and she will not nap. This just started, in the past she would nap for 2 hours. We do the same routine that we always do – books, rock, nap – at the same time (around 1), but all of a sudden she will not go…
Weekly Toddler Sleep Question for The Sleep Lady: “How do I know when my toddler is ready to drop down to one nap a day? My 14 month old is fighting his second nap, often resulting in him missing it entirely. I have tried shortening his first nap so he would be tired for his second nap, but that didn’t work. I also tried pushing his first nap later…
Weekly Question for The Sleep Lady: “I am struggling with the decision to cut my 4 year old’s nap. On weekdays, she goes to 1/2 day preschool, naps afterwards in her room with dim lights and a sound machine from about 12:45pm until between 2 and 2.45, and I to put her to bed between 7.30 and 8pm but she stalls/makes excuses, etc. and sometimes ends up staying up until…
Luckily my 8 month old daughter is sleeping through the night now. I am a working mom and not at home with my baby during the week to nap coach her. She is at a larger daycare center and basically when she’s tired, they put her down, when she’s hungry they feed her. So I never really know what I’m going to get when I pick her up. My baby…
I have received LOTS of questions about toddler naps and late bedtimes for 3 and 4 year olds. Here are just a few of them: My son will be 4 in September and has generally been a great sleeper thanks to your book (given to me by a thoughtful friend). I will put him to bed between 8-9pm after a usual routine, but most nights I find him still awake…
Naps to quiet time can bring a big transition for the whole family! Many families ask me at what age do children give up their naps. On average children give up their afternoon nap at 4 years old. That being said, I have worked with many 3-3 1/2 year olds who successfully give up their daily afternoon nap (these children are sleeping through the night). Watching your child’s behavior is…

If you’re a first time parent, there is almost no way to prepare for the early days of sleep-deprived stupor. Perhaps this isn’t your first, but you blocked out the experience with your previous children. Most new parents encounter some period where they are getting by on very little sleep. Newborns and infants wake frequently as a survival mechanism, so little sleep is par for the course in early parenthood….
My name is Elizabeth Sopher, and I’m the CEO and Creator of QuickZip. As a mom who has handled my share of nighttime situations, I am honored to partner with The Sleep Lady to help you and your child get some sleep! When you’re a parent, middle of the night changes are one thing: Inevitable. Many parents forget that they are going to be struggling with crib sheets, mattress pads,…
Every good parent knows the feeling: when their baby’s away from sight, they become restless. In fact, their primary consideration is to baby-proof their sanctuary. Even if they don’t hear any cries, they may start to go through worst-case scenarios in their head. This is true even at night, when the baby needs healthy sleep. Those without children may not think about it, but when parents say that babies take…
