Episode 42: Sleep At The 2 Year old Stage
Myles has just turned 2 years old and is a little firecracker who has FOMO (fear of missing out) when it comes to sleep!
He’s really resisting going to sleep at bedtime and wakes frequently during the night. And often won’t settle until he’s in Mum’s bed which isn’t working for anyone now.
This is understandably causing everyone a sleepless night!
I’m never going to stop sharing the message that toddler’s find sleep tricky too.
And I want to reassure you that your toddler isn’t broken and you aren’t doing anything wrong if your toddler:
Isn’t sleeping through the night
Is resisting going to sleep at bedtime
Needs you or support to fall asleep
Wakes up during the night
Won’t settle at night unless co-sleeping
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 Myles’s Mum, Beckey for this live consultation podcast and together we’ll talk you through:
Normal infant sleep at 2 years old
The best bedtime for your toddler
What do to if their bedtime is super late
The 7 pm pressure
Supporting them to settle to sleep independently
Moving away from co-sleeping if they wake at night
Myles’s sleep story at 2 years old
Myles’s sleep suggestions to support him to a more settled night sleep. The caring way.
Beckey and I had a great talk together and I really hope you find this episode useful and reassuring too!
