Sleep Cues: The Everything Parenting Podcast

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!
