Catnapping - 5 Things You NEED to Know!

Any parent who’s ever popped their baby down for a sleep, only to find them awake again after short time, will know the frustration of catnapping! Babies who ‘catnap’ – that is, sleep only for one sleep cycle at a time during the day (typically 20-40 minutes) can make it feel impossible to get anything done. No sooner have you settled them, poured yourself a cuppa and settled yourself in for a deep breath, and they’re calling out from their cot! Catnapping can also lead to overtired babies, who are grizzly and unsettled due to a lack of restorative rest. Join Kylie for this solo chat, where she will run you through the top 5 things you must know to support catnappers and lengthen those sleeps. These strategies are based on what is developmentally appropriate for babies, fostered through Kylie’s experience helping literally hundreds of families with this exact challenge.
