Thank you so much for your time and effort in these videos. I’m grasping for straws here. My 2 year old is having a really hard time. She still desperately needs a nap, refuses to nap at her designated time frame, I can see how exhausted she is. Nighttime sleep is effected so much now. Tantrums, eating poorly, wakes for 2-3 hours a night. So desperate and I feel for her.

Hi there! Great video.. I feel like I’m following all of those things already though. My son will be 2 next week and all of a sudden past few weeks he refuses his naps or he falls asleep for only 35-45 min and wakes up crying. He is fed, changed, we play outside every morning, and generally seems happy otherwise. I’m so frustrated! He’s always been a great napper. His nighttime sleep is unaffected... 🤞 ty for any advice!
Hi, That is a real positive that night sleep is unaffected. This could be the FINAL (thank goodness) sleep regression. I have attached a couple of guides that may help. www.babysleepmadesimple.com/how-to-get-toddler-to-nap www.babysleepmadesimple.com/2-year-old-sleep-problems-solutions Clare, BSMS Support Team
Training can definitely take some time but your little one CAN do it! Let us know if you are interested in any of our programs and we can walk you through it step by step! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
Agree. My little one isnt napping and is fighting bed time. She will scream in her crib for an hour and wont settle at all. I offer her a nap everyday. Now we just do quiet time by watching a movie on the couch because she will just scream the whole time.
My baby is 19 months and he naps beautifully daily but the problem is I have to rock him to sleep . He won’t fall asleep on his own unless I’m carrying him . Is this ok ?
It is totally fine as long as you are ok with it and his night sleep is going fine. If his night sleep is disrupted and he needs to be rocked every time he wakes up then it might be time to teach him to fall asleep independently through sleep training. Check out our 21 Days to Peace and Quiet Program. We give 4 different methods of sleep training that you can choose from and we offer programs with continual support throughout.

You have to specify not to open the door and let your toddler run around in the yard ALONE... You'd think its common sense but there's not much of that these days. Always watch your kids when outside
I let my child play outside while I clean the kitchen. I live in the country far from any roads. I can see them through the kitchen window. The place where a child learns the most, is when they're doing dangerous things carefully. It's also how the learn what they can do!
Hello! To try and work towards taking a good nap, I would work on eliminating screen time at least 2 hours before the nap, watch your sugar intake, and get lots of fresh air and physical activity. This can really help! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team

Toddlers can definitely get frustrated when they don't want to sleep in a certain place or way. Toddlers have a lot of big emotions, and these can certainly escalate when they are tired, too. Crying for a few minutes in a safe space, such as a crib, with a familiar caregiver, such as a parent who checks in and reassures their LOs will not cause any harm. However, in our Big Kid program, we do provide parents with positive parenting strategies to help teach their LOs how to fall asleep independently. We would love to support your family!

Hi! My daughter is 32months old. She has been refuse to Sleep during the day even if she tired she wants to sleep :-( I’ll lay her down in her bed she’ll be laying in her bed for 15 to 20 minutes and she’s ready to play. I’ve been putting a pirate time but I think she is very tired staying up all day. How can I help her to take a good nap?
Hi! Oh no, sorry to hear that! It can be quite common at this age for sleep to be a little disturbed as separation anxiety can be heightened around the age of 2-3 yrs. The best advice is to increase lots of communication about your expectations of sleep and telling your LO, that now it's time for sleep and after we can play in the park etc. Outdoor play or exercise can help drain extra energy out so that is a great option. I'll link to Jilly's 2 yr sleep guide that covers the basic tips. www.babysleepmadesimple.com/2-year-old-sleep-problems-solutions Also be really consistent and jump back into the method you used to sleep train her in the first place :) It is often useful to teach your LO how to fall asleep independently, this will lead for them STTN and thus improving sleep all around!
