We actually don’t encourage our parents to be stuck in dark rooms trying to “force” nap extensions.
Because most of the time, catnapping is not resolved by what you do when they wake…
And it certainly isn’t resolved by sitting in a room trying to stretch a nap to a full hour.
If you can support your little one back to sleep and it’s working great.
But for many families, the solution sits deeper than that.
It’s about what your baby is relying on to fall asleep… and how they get back to sleep between cycles.
If your little one needs an external measure feeding, rocking, dummy to fall asleep,
there’s every chance that when they wake, they won’t transition into the next sleep cycle independently.
Instead, they’ll call out… and you’re back in, repeating the same process.
And often, as they get older, those methods stop working altogether.
So instead of getting stuck in the cycle…
We focus on:
• The right awake times
• Building enough sleep pressure
• And most importantly, guiding your baby to learn they can fall asleep and transition cycles without relying on those external supports
This is where real change happens.
