    Q&A: Tips for Longer Naps, Newborn Sleep and Night Terrors

    23/06/2026 | 19 mins.
    Answering this week's Top 5 Sleep Questions. This week’s questions highlight the following topics:
    Do you have tips for longer naps? My 6 month old constantly wakes after 45 minutes
    Is there anything you can do for newborn sleep to make it better? Or are they just too young?
    My 10 week old is a velcro baby - I love the snuggles, but when can I start doing sleep coaching and looking for him to self settle?
    My 20 month old wakes up around 6am, naps from 12-2pm, and goes to bed at around 7-7:30pm, but always takes around 30 minutes of tossing and turning and talking to go to sleep. Should I adjust his schedule?
    My 3 year old has frequent night terrors - how do I help it and also how do I avoid it? 

    Don’t need step-by-step sleep coaching, but need advice on age-specific awake times, milestones, regressions, scheduling tweaks, and more? Our Sleep Guides have you covered!

    Q&A: Handling False Starts, Starting Sleep Coaching, Early Morning Wakes & More!

    02/06/2026 | 17 mins.
    Answering this week's Top 5 Sleep Questions. This week’s questions highlight the following topics:
    - How do you handle a false start? My 5 month old has them every night. 
    - I have a 2.5 year old and a 7.5 month old. I really don’t want to drop my 7.5 month old’s third nap yet, because I like that there is some overlap in their napping. Do you have a schedule you can suggest?
    - I’m planning on starting some sleep coaching with my 8 month old. Do I start with naps or nights?
    - My 16 month old has 1 nap and wakes every day at 5:30am. How can I get her to sleep later?
    - My 13 week old is getting too big for her bassinet. Should li put her in a pack n play in my room, or move her to her own room?

    The Happy Sleep Company’s Infant / Toddler Sleep Program is suited best for children who are 14 weeks to 3 years of age and still sleeping in a crib. Children at this age need healthy sleep for proper development, to boost their immune systems, and to help them take in the big, bright, ever-changing world around them. At this age and in this environment, amazing sleep habits can be established very quickly with loads of consistency and tons of love involved! We will work closely with your family to develop a sleep plan that is right for your child, and help you help your little one to be sleeping through the night and taking proper naps within our two weeks together!
