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.

Helping Your Child Sleep with Confidence

Why is my child suddenly resisting bedtime?
As children grow, changes in routine, developmental milestones, fears, and increasing independence can make bedtime more challenging. A predictable bedtime routine and consistent, gentle responses can help your child feel secure and ready for sleep.
School-aged and preschool children need consistent, age-appropriate sleep to support their physical growth, emotional well-being, learning, and behavior. Establishing a regular bedtime and wake-up schedule can help your child get the rest they need.
Fear of the dark, nightmares, and bedtime anxiety are common during childhood. Offering reassurance, maintaining calming bedtime routines, and responding consistently can help your child build confidence and feel safe sleeping independently.
Many children seek comfort during the night, especially during times of change or stress. Gentle, consistent guidance and clear bedtime expectations can gradually help your child become more confident sleeping in their own room.
Yes. The Sleep Lady’s gentle approach teaches children lifelong independent sleep skills while allowing parents to remain responsive and supportive throughout the process.
It’s never too late to improve your child’s sleep habits. With a personalized plan, patience, and consistency, many families see meaningful improvements, even after long-standing sleep challenges.
If bedtime has become stressful, your child frequently wakes at night, refuses to sleep independently, or sleep challenges are affecting your family’s well-being, a Certified Gentle Sleep Coach can provide personalized guidance tailored to your child’s needs.
The Sleep Lady offers expert articles, podcasts, recommended products, sleep guides, and one-on-one coaching to help families navigate sleep challenges from the preschool years through childhood.
