Of course, there is no ONE secret. Teaching a child healthy sleep habits is a combination of many different things. But that does not mean there are not some shortcuts, either!<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest enemies of sleep, especially for babies and toddlers, is overtiredness. Many parents are surprised to learn just how soon their children get overtired. The more a child sleeps, the more sleep they want. I know&#8230;you would think it is the opposite but really it&#8217;s not, believe me! Parents often think, if I put my child to sleep at a later bedtime, they will wake up later in the morning&#8230;NOT TRUE. An earlier bedtime leads to later morning wakeups! Here&#8217;s a quick guide to how long your child should be awake between naps during the day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Newborn (0-12 weeks): 45 minutes of awake time<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">3-5 months: 1.5-2 hours of awake time<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">6-8 months: 2-3 hours of awake time<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">9-12 months: 3-4 hours of awake time<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">13 months to 2.5 years: 5-6 hours of awake time<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you make sure that your child is put down for naps BEFORE they get overtired, you&#8217;ll find that they fall asleep more easily at naptime AND they are more relaxed at bedtime.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep Well!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1141\" src=\"https:\/\/happybabysleepsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/SukkieSignature2.jpg\" alt=\"SukkieSignature\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my time as a sleep professional, I&#8217;ve become accustomed to people asking me what the &#8220;secret&#8221; is to getting a baby to sleep through the night.
