29. Why Are Baby Naps So Hard? Nap Training Help for Babies & Toddlers


Listen Later

Why does night sleep often come together, but naps still feel so hard? In this episode, I explain why this is completely normal — and why nothing is “wrong” with your child.

I break down the simple science behind naps and why daytime sleep develops more slowly than nighttime sleep. I also walk you through a clear, gentle nap plan you can follow with confidence, including:

  • The importance of full, active wake windows

  • Creating a predictable nap routine

  • What to do if a nap doesn’t happen

  • When and how to use a rescue nap

This episode is meant to reassure you, simplify naps, and remind you that progress with daytime sleep takes time and consistency.

You are not failing — naps are just hard, and you’re doing a great job!Want Personalized Help?
