Episode 41: Sleep At The 12 Month Stage
Baby Remi is 12 months old and going through big changes with his sleep.
He slept through from around 7 months old until he recently started nursery and his sleep changed.
He’s now finding it hard to settle to sleep at bedtime and frequently has a split night AKA parent party. This is understandably causing everyone a sleepless night!
I’m never going to stop sharing the message that infant sleep isn’t a straight-line process because it’s a constant work in progress!
So I want to reassure you that your baby isn’t broken and you aren’t doing anything wrong if your baby’s:
Sleep changes or hits the skids suddenly
Finding it harder to settle to sleep or needs more support to fall asleep
Having a parent party at night!
However, if their sleep or wake ups are unsustainable or simply not working for you chances are there’s some small and caring changes that could make a big difference.
Join me and Remi’s Mum, Amy for this live consultation podcast and together we’ll talk you through:
Normal infant sleep at 12 months old
Napping at nursery
Different routine in different places
How an early bedtime can impact night sleep
Supporting them to settle to sleep independently
Split nights AKA parent party
Remi’s sleep story at 12 months old
Remi’s sleep suggestions to support him to a more settled night sleep. The caring way.
Amy and I had a great talk together and I really hope you find this episode useful and reassuring too!
