While You Were Sleeping Issue 91 | February 23, 2025 The Sleep Training Survival Guide for Tired Parents ​You finally get them sleeping through the night… until a sleep regression hits, and you're back to square one. Sleep training is tough, but it's even harder when you don't know where to begin. Should you try the Ferber method? The chair method? Or something in between? The options can feel endless, but we're breaking it all down to help you find the right approach. Sleep Training Tips for Every Parent Sleep Quiz When is it safe for babies to sleep on their stomach?   A. 4 months B. 6 months C. 12 months D. 18 months   Scroll to the bottom for the answer! When Should You Switch to a Toddler Bed? Transitioning from a crib to a toddler bed is a significant milestone, but when is the right time? Too early, and your little one might not be ready. Too late, and they might already be climbing out on their own! Experts recommend making the switch between 18 months and 3 years. This is the sweet spot for when toddlers are ready for a new sleep setup. Our team tested countless toddler beds to find the very best options, from cozy, crib-like designs to stylish, long-lasting picks that grow with your child. Ready to make the transition seamless? Find the Best Bed for Your Toddler Sleep Tip of the Week Try the "drowsy but awake" trick. Putting your baby down when they're sleepy but not fully asleep helps them learn to self-soothe.

Not only does a solid bedtime routine help them sleep, but it also helps your kids handle stress and social interactions better, too. If bedtime has been inconsistent in your home, this might be your sign to lock in a routine! Find out how a simple change at night can lead to better days for your little one. See the Science Behind Better Bedtimes Quiz Answer The correct answer is C. 12 months. Babies should always sleep on their backs for at least the first year to lower the risk of SIDS.
