A new stage of life brings new changes that can make your toddler not sleep.
If your toddler is waking up at night, waking up too early or not napping, it could be due to developmental changes like walking, transitioning from two naps to one and a more intense attachment to bottles and pacifiers.
Children are comforted by routines, so a simple and straight-forward sleep training plan is extremely important for your toddler. Keep reading to see how we answer common questions like how long should a toddler sleep for, and how to get a toddler to nap! We want to help you establish a toddler sleep training routine for your child.
