😵‍💫 “My baby’s naps have stopped working—what is happening?!”

Before you panic, ask yourself: What’s happening at the end of the nap?

Example: Your baby naps fine at daycare, but suddenly stops napping well at home. Turns out, the daycare provider is patting their back at the 30-minute mark to help them connect sleep cycles. Now, when that doesn’t happen at home… they wake up fully.

💡 This is a sleep association. If something external (patting, rocking, feeding) is needed to help baby link sleep cycles, they’ll rely on it every time.

Instead of patching naps with interventions, focus on:
🌙 Independent sleep skills – Helping baby learn to settle back to sleep on their own.
⏳ Appropriate wake windows – Avoiding overtiredness, which makes nap transitions harder.
🌿 Consistent sleep cues – Darkness, white noise, and a predictable routine.

If naps have gone sideways, don’t worry—small tweaks can make big improvements. And if you need help figuring it out? That’s what we do. 💛
