The Sleepeasy Solution: The Exhausted Parent's Guide to Getting Your Child to Sleep from Birth to Age 5
Step-by-Step Sleep for Naps
For each nap, you’ll give your child a minimum of 1 hour of practice time in the crib or bed, whether she sleeps or not. Every minute counts, so try not to give up after 50 or even 55 minutes.
SAMPLE SCHEDULE FOR TWO NAPS A DAY Bedtime: 7:30 pm Wake time: 6:30 am First nap: 9:00 am (sleeps till 10:00 am) Second nap: 1:00 pm (sleeps till 2:30 pm)
Step 1: Prepare Your Sleep Station
TYPICAL SCHEDULE FOR 9- TO 12-MONTH-OLD Bedtime: 7:30 pm Wake time: 6:30 am First nap: 9:00 am (sleeps till 11:00 am) Second nap: 2:00 pm (sleeps till 3:00 pm)
Remember, every child is different, and as long as your child’s cumulative daytime sleep amounts to 3 to 4 hours, you’re doing well.
