Bedtime falling past 8pm? Want to make it earlier? ⬇️

If your babe is under 3 months old a later bedtime is super common and quite normal so you can either roll with it until they are above 3 months or without pressure make some of the changes below especially if they are coming 10-12 weeks and above.

💕Your little one will likely be used to a certain amount of naps each day even when you don’t think your little one has a structure. They often do take a particular amount of naps each day so before you can consider making any changes you need to make sure you map how many naps your little one is used to. Because here’s the thing, you don’t want to suddenly bring bedtime forward, rip them off of one of their naps and put them down too early too quickly or they will absolutely treat bedtime like a nap and it will either be very difficult settle for them or they will sleep for one cycle and wake up like it was a nap.

From there though what time your little one starts their morning is important. I would definitely consider having them up earlier, so 7 am or earlier. You would even consider 6.30 a.m. if it means you are able to still fit in the usual amount of naps per day but it brings bedtime forward slightly. 🫶

Don’t be afraid to cap the last nap of the day to 15 to 20 minutes if they are on three or more naps in a day this will help you move your bedtime forward slowly but surely.

it takes a slow adjustment to bring bedtime forward start with 10 to 15 minutes earlier and if you do need to drop a nap make sure your early naps are span out well enough so that bedtime isn’t suddenly falling too early than what they are used to.

Two things you want to avoid is suddenly dropping a nap if they aren’t ready in order to bring it forward and suddenly going to a much earlier bedtime than they are used to ❤️

First things first, what’s working, works.
There is absolutely no need to change something, for what?
A timeline is definitely a great tool, but it is simply just that.
If your little one is doing well, we definitely don’t want to be pushing to drop naps early.
Here’s the other side of it:

Dropping naps too soon can cause more frequent night waking, early mornings, catnapping, and more irritability.

Some little ones can drop naps and for a day or two it works well but after a few days the cracks start to appear.
The longer you can keep naps, the more likely your little one is to be ready for the longer awake times.

Even buying yourself a couple of weeks actually helps age-wise for your little one to transition easier.

There is no win in dropping naps sooner than your little one needs. I’d they need to then great but if not then no rush.

If your little one is dropping naps way too soon those every chance that it’s about their sleep habits and sleep hygiene more so than actually needing more awake time ❤️

Most consultant training out there gives you a framework but not the depth of experience to navigate the real challenges that come up with families. That’s why so many parents are left feeling like their baby “just can’t be helped” or it must be reflux or teething. In reality, it’s often not that at all. It’s that experience and time in the field is what teaches you how to adapt, how to read between the lines, and how to support families through complex situations.

This isn’t like selling a product you can learn inside-out. Every baby, every family, every environment is different. Sleep is layered feeding, temperament, medical, age, parental approach, all play a role. The more experience you gain, the faster you can spot what’s really going on beneath the surface and tailor your support with confidence.

Walking a path that’s already been travelled makes the journey so much easier. When you have access to someone who’s worked with thousands of families, across every type of sleep challenge imaginable, the level of insight and troubleshooting you gain is next level. Experience shared is experience multiplied and it’s what separates a consultant who feels stuck from one who thrives.

❌ 5 min naps are “normal”
❌ They will grow out of bad sleep
❌ Tired babies will sleep when they are ready
❌ Start rice cereal at 3 months to get a sleep through
❌ All babies should be 7-7 with a 2 hour midday nap. Whilst there’s nothing wrong with this, this schedule isn’t realistic for many.

What sleep rule have you thrown out?
