Struggling with your little one’s naps? You're not alone!

From early newborn naps to the transition to one nap and eventually dropping naps altogether, Jen shares expert insights on healthy sleep habits, wake windows, and how to create a nap schedule that works for your child’s temperament.
As the co-author of “Loved to Sleep” and founder of Sugar Night Night, Jen specializes in gentle sleep coaching that minimizes tears and supports families in creating a sleep environment that fits their needs—whether that’s bed-sharing, room-sharing, or independent sleep.

✔️ What early naps look like for newborns
✔️ When naps start consolidating and how long they should be
✔️ Nap schedules for 4–5 months, 6–9 months, and 9–12 months
