New Baby On Board = Toddler Sleep Regression

Welcoming a new baby into the family is an exciting time filled with joy and anticipation. However, it can also bring about some unexpected challenges, especially when it comes to your toddler's sleep. If you've noticed changes in your toddler's sleep patterns since the new family member arrived, you're not alone. Toddler sleep regressions are common during this family transition period, but there are strategies to help your child and your family get through it.

Regressions are NORMAL after a major life transition such as bringing home a new baby.

You will want to watch this Podcast Interview I did with Ann McKitrick, of Parenting in the First 3 Years Podcast where I discuss 2 scenarios that are often common with toddlers after baby comes home:

  • A toddler who was a "beautiful sleeper" and sleep just fell apart after bringing home the baby.

  • A toddler who always had sleep struggles at bedtime or the middle of the night, or was a bad napper and now the problem is far more difficult and challenging, such that, it’s becoming a major source of contention, overwhelm and sleep deprivation.

Topics Discussed:

  • The challenge of a new sibling

  • The toddler factor

  • Sleep disruptions and regression

  • Tips for Parents

  • Understanding sleep coaching

Listen in now for some great strategies and tips to help you navigate these challenges and ensure everyone in your family gets the rest they need.
