So, how can you prevent early morning waking in your 3 year old? You’re dead asleep and then you hear it - your bedroom door creaks open and you hear tiny footsteps coming straight for you. You open one eye and see that it’s 5:15am. Ugh. Why does this keep happening!!! Do you just have an early riser?

Let's say that your 2-year-old climbed out of the crib last night. YIKES!You’ve been dreading this day for a LONG time. You might think “Okay, it's time to move him to a toddler bed”NOT SO FAST!If you can keep your adventurous toddler SAFELY in the crib a little longer, you should do it. But we have to make sure they can’t climb out.The freedom of the open toddler bed can be too much for young kids to handle. Switching kids out of the crib too early can cause lots of sleep issues– like refusing to stay put at bedtime, suddenly needing you to stay in the room with them or waking up overnight. Or if you’re already having sleep issues with your crib-sleeper, the switch to the toddler bed will just intensify issues you’re already experiencing.Kids who don’t sleep well in the crib, will sleep even worse in a bed.So, if you can SAFELY keep your child in the crib without climbing out, do it.ResourcesLearn more about Jessica and Awesome Little Sleepers.Save your spot in my next free Toddler Sleep Masterclass at: ToddlerSleepMasterclass.comOther resources:Join me on Instagram @AwesomeLittleSleepersThe ONE thing you can start tonight to improve your toddler's sleep, click hereCheck out the blogWatch the YouTube channel ‘Sleep Tight Without a Fight’ sleep course, click hereMy favorite sleep products, click here

Have you ever asked yourself “Is sleep training selfish?”  In this episode, you’ll learn about the health benefits of sleep for kids.😴 If you’ve been stuck laying in your child’s bed for hours, waiting for them to fall asleep. 🛏️ Or waking up through the night to play musical beds. 🥱 Or welcoming a toddler into your bed at 2am and you’re sick of it, you may have tried to change things. Now, if you’ve tried to change things and it hasn’t worked, you may have decided that your child just CAN’T sleep without you. Maybe they’re just too strong-willed or maybe they aren’t capable of sleeping independently for some reason. Or maybe you’re concerned that if you try and get out of this sleep situation that your relationship will be damaged. So, you make a decision. And it may be an unconscious one. You decide that they must really NEED you at night. Not a preference but a NEED. So you’ve just given in and accepted it as your fate. This is your job. And once you take it on as your responsibility, the prospect of trying to get out of it seems almost selfish. And even if you’re exhausted and feel like a walking zombie who hasn’t slept through the night in a year, you STILL won’t change things because it feels selfish. But what if getting your child sleeping through the night independently was the best thing for THEM?What if working to get your child 10-12 hours of consistent sleep through the night with no wake ups was actually the healthiest thing you could do for them?ResourcesLearn more about Jessica and Awesome Little Sleepers.Save your spot in my next free Toddler Sleep Masterclass at: ToddlerSleepMasterclass.comOther resources:Join me on Instagram @AwesomeLittleSleepersThe ONE thing you can start tonight to improve your toddler's sleep, click hereCheck out the blogWatch the YouTube channel ‘Sleep Tight Without a Fight’ sleep course, click hereMy favorite sleep products, click here
