Hi Karissa,
Thank you for visiting The Baby Sleep Site! In general, we like to say that if it’s working for your family and safe for everybody, stick with what you’re doing. Some families co-sleep for a portion of the night, and some for the entire night, but if you all feel like you’re getting enough sleep, and you’ve talked with your healthcare professional to make sure your sleeping situation is safe, then go for it. If your daughter starts waking when you transfer her, or you see increased night waking in general at any point, then you might want to start weaning away from co-sleeping at the beginning of the night, but this is not a problem every baby will have, so wait and see how it goes.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi @Reagan – Thank you for writing to us! I’m sorry that this past week has been so tough for your little guy’s naps! Naps can be tough, and short naps can be very common! Keep offering many naps since they are so short, and encourage them to lengthen as you have been doing, and hopefully this will pass with this wonder week! This article on our blog should help too:

Good luck Reagan!

Hi Emmamae – Thank you for writing to us, and I am sorry that sleep has been so rough for you and your 15 month old! Being awake from 12am till 10am is brutal!! Since you mentioned it coming on suddenly, I would recommend checking in with your little one’s doctor, to rule out any illnesses or physical reason for this abrupt change.
If you get the all clear from his doctors, it may be time to really dive into his schedule to see what is going on. One of our expert sleep consultants would love to take an in depth look at his sleep history and details about his day and night sleep and can help with 100% personalized and customized help. She would want/need to look at the whole picture to find out why his sleep regressed so badly and to then make a plan to help!

Hang in there Emmamae!

Hi @Haley and thank you for stopping by the Baby Sleep Site. I apologize if you were upset by this portion of the article. The Wonder Weeks is a book (and app) that many parents today are using and we wanted to be sure to highlight how the big developmental changes covered in the book can affect sleep and behaviors of the child. We of course know that all parenting philosophies are different as well as all children, so we try to cover the bases and provide information that each family is welcome to use and decide what works best for them. 🙂 By “Discipline” we just mean setting some limits for the child in order to protect their sleep, not punishing them (you can see our suggestions in this article: https://www.babysleepsite.com/toddlers/limit-setting-toddler/). We understand they are young and figuring out life so being grumpy and pushing limits is an important part of the process and I definitely agree, should not be discouraged, but often they need some guidance. I hope that provides more clarity where the article was coming from. Thanks for adding to our discussion!
