When it comes to sleep training your baby CAT NAPPING is by far one of the most talked-about problem with babies. 🙈

Whilst it’s totally normal for young babies to sleep just one sleep cycle or less this can become a habit in later months.

Catnapping can become more of an issue beyond 3 - 4 months, when the lack of sleep during the day causes frequent night wakings, an overall grumpy baby, & exhausted parents!

From 3 months onwards, your baby becomes ready for some consistency with routine, longer awake windows, & lengthier naps.

It is not uncommon, however, for catnapping to continue well up to 5-6 months of age!

Here are my top few tips for sleep training your baby & combatting the catnap (3 months onward): 🙌

👉Ensure the room is DARK:
The absence of light sends a critical signal to a child's body that it is time to rest, it also triggers the sleepy hormone melatonin. So darkness is essential.

👉White Noise
White noise plays a key part in optimizing the environment. White noise is very soothing for a baby & toddler, it is proven to improve sleep and lengthen nap times.

👉Warmth/ Temperature
Keeping the room temperature consistent between 19-22 degrees celsius & dressing your baby in suitable clothing/layers is imperative for a longer nap.

👉Timing is key
Catnapping can be an indication of an awake time which is too long (over-tired), or too short (under-tired), so try changing the nap time by 15-30 minutes earlier or later

👉Offer a Top-up
Make sure your baby is NOT hungry before a nap or isn’t due for a feed 30mins after falling asleep – I often advise to offer a “top up” feed before a nap, to rule out hunger as a cause for catnapping.

It may only be 60mls of formula or 5-6mins on the breast.

**This is not an opportunity for your little one to drift off for a power nap. Keep it strictly business - 15-20mins before nap time offer your little one a feed in the living room with the TV on blinds open, ensure you keep bub awake.**

👉Wind downtime:

Ensure the focus remains on winding down and not overstimulating. Start preparing your baby for asleep 5-10 minutes before nap time

👉Self-Settling:

ALWAYS put your baby to sleep drowsy, but awake to encourage self-settling (avoid feeding, rocking, patting, holding to sleep)

If your baby is being fed, rocked or patted to sleep, when they reach light sleep at the end of each sleep cycle, instead of your little one just drifting through onto the next cycle independently, they wake looking for that same prop that got them off to sleep initially.

👉Practice makes perfect

Try for as many naps in his cot or bassinet as possible. However, life goes on and if you have to go out you can follow the 80/20 rule (80% nap at home 20% on the go) or plan trips around their wake window
