In this comprehensive guide, Dr. Nelson explores the intricacies of sleep across various age groups, from newborns to teenagers. Each segment provides valuable insights tailored to the unique needs of each developmental stage, ensuring parents can foster healthy sleep habits in their children.

Newborns: Discover the sleepy patterns of your little bub as Dr. Nelson explains how newborns generally clock around 14 to 18 hours of sleep throughout the day. Learn why formal sleep training is ineffective at this stage and focus instead on distinguishing between day and night times to encourage longer nighttime sleep.

Infants: As babies grow, their sleep needs evolve. Dr. Nelson emphasizes that it’s normal for older infants to sleep 12 to 16 hours daily, often waking up during the night. Gain tips on teaching your baby to self-soothe and how to avoid common pitfalls such as leaving milk bottles in cribs.

Toddlers: Navigating the bedtime resistance common in toddlers can be challenging. Learn how maintaining a consistent bedtime routine and recognizing the signs of sleepiness early can make all the difference. Aiming for 11 to 12 hours of sleep per day, including naps, toddlers thrive on routine and predictability.

Preschoolers: Many preschoolers begin to phase out naps, needing between 10 to 13 hours of daily sleep. Discover how creating a safe and familiar bedroom environment and building positive associations with their sleeping space can ease bedtime transitions.

Older Kids and Teens: Sleeping habits continue to change as kids grow. For grade schoolers and teenagers, screen time management before bed becomes crucial. Dr. Nelson shares alternative calming activities to foster better sleep quality, ensuring they meet the recommended 9 to 12 hours for children and 8 to 10 for teens.
