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

- How much daytime sleep should my child be getting at 12 months, and when do they transition to 1 nap?

- What’s an ideal schedule for a 14 month old who’s on one nap?

- My 6 month old scream cries for 5-10 minutes before falling asleep for every nap, is this normal?

- If my 18 month old wakes up from their nap at daycare at 2pm, what time is bedtime?

- What’s a great sleep schedule for a 16 week old?

The Happy Sleep Company’s Infant / Toddler Sleep Program is suited best for children who are 14 weeks to 3 years of age and still sleeping in a crib. Children at this age need healthy sleep for proper development, to boost their immune systems, and to help them take in the big, bright, ever-changing world around them. At this age and in this environment, amazing sleep habits can be established very quickly with loads of consistency and tons of love involved!

We will work closely with your family to develop a sleep plan that is right for your child, and help you help your little one to be sleeping through the night and taking proper naps within our two weeks together! LEARN MORE HERE

Winter brings extra layers... and extra worries — especially when you have a baby. In this episode of Sleep Cues, we’re joined by an ER perspective to talk about what actually matters when it comes to winter safety. Dr. Darria is a Harvard and Yale-trained, board-certified ER physician, our go-to for baby and family safety on social media, and mom of 3.

From the most common cold-weather mistakes parents don’t expect, to overheating risks during sleep, to why bulky snowsuits and car seats don’t mix... we’re breaking down what’s fact, what’s myth, and what you can confidently ignore. We also cover special considerations for newborns and preemies, extreme cold, illness, and how to handle well-meaning (but outdated) advice from grandparents.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is my baby too cold… or too warm?” this episode will leave you informed, reassured, and confident in winter!

When does a wake window actually begin — and how do you know when it’s over?

In this episode of Sleep Cues, we’re breaking down what wake windows really are, when they truly matter, and why understanding their timing can make bedtime (and naps) so much smoother. We’ll explain how to confidently spot the start of a wake window, recognize the signs that it’s ending, and share real-life examples to help you apply it right away.

If you’ve ever second-guessed your timing or worried you’ve missed “the sweet spot,” this episode will give you clarity and confidence.

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

- My 8 month old is having 5am wake ups every day. She’s still on 3 naps.

- I have an 11 month old who wakes early (like 5am) every day. I’ve heard capping the first nap of the day can help with this. Do you think so?

- My 11 month old has always sucked her fingers to get to sleep. Is this bad?

- What are your best tips for breaking sleep habits with a 2 year old? He still wakes every 2 hours and I have to go rock him.

- My baby is 8 weeks old and only feeds and rocks to sleep. Should I be trying to change these habits now?
