Avoiding Toddler Bedtime Problems

If sleep can be hard for grownups from time to time, it’s no wonder that toddlers — who have trouble winding down in any situation — have their bouts with restless nights. The good news is that with help from you, these restless phases don’t have to last long. Here’s a look at some of the most common reasons for bedtime problems and some tips on how to remedy them.

Lack of bedtime routine. This has to be the most common — and most easily remedied — roadblock to nightly bliss. Toddlers are creatures of habit. As chaotic as your family schedule may be (and whose isn’t?), setting up a comforting and consistent bedtime routine that starts early enough to ensure sufficient z’s is worth the trouble. The beauty of it is that it doesn’t have to be trouble. In fact, the simpler, the better. The three Bs — bath, bed, and books — are all you need, customized to fit your family, of course. Once your little one comes to expect bath time, followed by one or two stories, followed by a cozy tuck-in, she’ll see it as just another part of her day. It will be a bumpy adjustment at first if she got used to the routine of her nonroutine, but make it sweet, make it relaxing, make it predictable, and she’ll soon go along happily.

Toddler Sleep Problems: Crying, Snoring, and Sleep Schedules

Tackling Toddler Sleep Problems Nocturnal nuisance: Your child cries so hard at bedtime that he makes himself vomit. continued…

Ferberizing is really all about changing your toddlers’ sleep associations, which, in turn, should solve this toddler sleep issue. “If a mom rocks her toddler to sleep, this is that child’s sleep association, but if the goal is to get the toddler to go sleep by themselves, you need to shift the association to one that she can do herself — the Ferber method is one way to do that,” Cradock says.

Toddler Sleep Problems: Crying, Snoring, and Sleep Schedules

Tackling Toddler Sleep Problems

Your 1-year-old cries so hard when you put him to bed that he actually throws up. Your 2-year-old still doesn’t sleep through the night. Your 2-and-a-half-year-old shares your bed, or perhaps your 3-year-old wakes in the middle of the night screaming bloody murder.
