It’s that magical time of year filled with festive gatherings, sweet treats, and plenty of holiday excitement—but also the potential for major sleep disruptions. Between travel, late-night events, and a constantly changing schedule, little ones can quickly become overtired, making the season feel a lot less merry.

In this episode, we break down why holiday sleep struggles happen and share practical, realistic tips to help keep your baby well-rested amidst the chaos. With a little planning and patience, you can enjoy the holidays without sacrificing sleep for your family!!

Don’t need step-by-step sleep coaching, but need advice on age-specific awake times, milestones, regressions, scheduling tweaks, and more? Our Sleep Guides have you covered!

Answering this week's Top 5 Sleep Questions. This week’s questions highlight the following topics:

- My 18 month old is waking up at 5:30am and not going back to sleep. Do you have tips for a later sleep in?

- My 7.5 month old baby is on 2 naps per day but often waking for the day at 4:30-5am, how can I get him to sleep later?

- My 8.5 month old will only nap for 30 minutes. I have tried various changes to his wake windows with no success. Do you have any other advice?

- What’s the latest bedtime you would do for a 3 year old before dropping their nap entirely? We already cap his nap at 1 hour.

- My 16 month old has been on one nap for a month, and it’s still only ever an hour. I’m doing a 6pm bedtime every night. When will her nap lengthen?
