Sleep for parents with 2 year olds is really challenging because:
-children often push back on sleep at this age
-there is a lack of boundaries around sleep
-or sleep has been hard for a long time for some families and now as you try and address it, your child is old enough to push back!
You might be experiencing some of the common challenges for 2 year olds and their sleep:
- nap duration issues (eg too much day sleep)
- still doing dummy runs
- parents taking out of their cots too soon
- reliant on feeds/co sleeping or rocking for sleep
- sibling and other changes like starting childcare
- stalling at bedtime
- challenging behaviour
- sleeping in different care environments
- reliant on milk/removal of milk
- lack boundaries around sleep
- fussy eating behaviour
- parents unsure how to deal with pushback and big emotions around their child's sleep
This episode deep dives into why these challenges are so hard for families and a step by step framework for you to implement so everyone in your family gets more sleep.
