It is important that babies and toddlers have a lot of sleep. However, sometimes putting little ones down for bed can be quite a challenge. When attempting to find the best possible sleep solutions for you, your family, and your little one there are a few key things to keep in mind.

Key Takeaways:

• Your baby or toddler may not be tired yet
• Promote sleeping later in the morning and earlier bedtimes by darkening the room
• Shift naps earlier so your baby is more tired at bedtime

“And putting a toddler to bed too early, when he’s not tired, can cause other schedule problems, such as more night-waking and waking up even earlier in the morning.”
