S3E21 Nap Transitions: When They Happen & How to Navigate Them


Listen Later

Nap transitions are one of the most common questions parents ask about sleep.


One day naps seem to be working… and the next it suddenly feels like everything has fallen apart.


In this episode, I’m breaking down nap transitions from the newborn stage all the way through the toddler years so you can better understand what’s actually happening with your child’s sleep.


I talk about:

• How many naps newborns typically take (and why their sleep feels so unpredictable)

• When the 3 to 2 nap transition usually happens and signs it might be starting

• Why babies sometimes refuse their third nap but then treat bedtime like a nap

• What bridge naps are and when they can help during transitions

• When the 2 to 1 nap transition typically happens

• Different ways to approach moving to one nap depending on your child’s sleep needs and wake window threshold

• And when children usually drop naps completely


If you’re currently navigating nap transitions with your baby or toddler, this episode will help you understand what’s normal and how to approach these changes with a little more confidence (and a lot less stress).
