On today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that so many parents ask about: The 30 Minute Nap!

Short naps can feel frustrating and confusing—but they’re often a completely normal part of your baby’s sleep development. In this episode, I walk you through what’s happening during these “catnaps,” when to expect longer naps, and gentle strategies that can help stretch nap lengths over time.

We also touch on important mindset shifts for navigating this season with more confidence (and less stress), plus when it might be time to reach out for personalized support.

Tune in to hear:

👉 Why 30-minute naps are common in the first 4–6 months
👉 Developmental reasons your baby might struggle to connect sleep cycles
👉 How awake windows, sleep environment, and flexible “rescue” naps can help
👉 Gentle strategies for helping your baby nap longer
👉 Mindset reframes to reduce stress around short naps
👉 When to consider working with a sleep consultant for more support

If you're in the thick of short nap struggles, know you're not alone—and this episode is here to guide and reassure you through it.
