8,000 of you are here, which feels like the perfect number of people to collectively agree that a baby monitor notification can change the entire vibe of an evening in 0.2 seconds. 😂

Thank you for following, sharing, sending these posts to your group chats, and trusting me with the very real chaos that is baby and toddler sleep.

I think as Moms, we put so much pressure on ourselves to have everything figured out. The right plan, the right decisions, the right next steps for our kids, our careers, our families.

But if motherhood has taught me anything, it’s that life rarely goes exactly according to plan. And sometimes, that’s a really good thing.

Some of the best parts of my life have come from unexpected turns, changing priorities, and learning to let go of what I thought things should look like.

I’m so grateful for the family I have and the incredible team I get to work with every day.

A little reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to build a life you love. ❤️

If bedtime has suddenly become a struggle, the last nap of the day might be the first thing to look at. 👀

A nap that ends too late can leave your baby or toddler without enough awake time before bed which can show up as taking forever to fall asleep, early morning rising, playing or rolling around in the crib, bedtime protests or night wakes.

When should the last nap end? ⬇️

➡️ 4–5 months: 5:00–6:00 PM
➡️ 6 months (on 3 naps): 5:00 PM
➡️ 6 months (on 2 naps): 4:00 PM
➡️ 7–13 months: 4:00 PM
➡️ 14–17 months: 3:00 PM
➡️ 18 months–2.5 years: 2:00–2:30 PM

A few important things:

These are guidelines, not hard rules.

Your child’s sleep needs, nap length, wake time, bedtime and current nap schedule all matter.

If bedtime is going well? You don’t need to change something just because a chart says so.

But if bedtime has recently gotten harder, your child is taking much longer to fall asleep, or bedtime keeps creeping later and later, take a look at when that final nap is ending.

Sometimes a small adjustment is all that’s needed.

📌 Save this chart so the next time bedtime goes sideways, you have somewhere simple to start.

If your baby isn’t sleeping 12 hours overnight, it doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong.

One of the biggest misconceptions in baby sleep is that every baby “should” sleep 7pm–7am.

Most don’t.

Many babies max out at 10.5–11.5 hours overnight and total sleep in 24 hours matters more than a perfect 12-hour night.

Here’s a realistic 24-hour sleep guide:

4–6 months → 13–15 hours total
6–8 months → 13–14 hours total
8–12 months → 12–14 hours total
12–18 months → 12–13 hours total
18–24 months → 11–13 hours total

Before adjusting bedtime, adding feeds, or assuming a regression look at total daily sleep first.

❤️ Save this so you can run the numbers tonight.

Night one was a disaster, so the routine must not be working… right? Not necessarily. 👀

Rebecca is an SLP and owner of Bespoke Speech Therapy for Kids Toronto. Andria is a pediatric sleep consultant and owner of Family Sleep & Wellness Experts. And while they come at routines from their professional perspectives, they have something else in common: they’re both moms who know what bedtime can actually look like in real life. 😅

And they agree on this one: don’t change the plan after one hard night.

When you introduce a new bedtime routine or boundary, your child may push back because it’s new. They’re learning what to expect, testing the boundary and figuring out whether it’s actually going to stay where you put it.

This is where parents change the plan too quickly.

Give it a few nights. Keep the routine the same. Keep your boundaries clear. Offer appropriate choices without letting those choices become another stalling mechanism.

Sometimes consistency is exactly what your child needs to understand: Okay, this is what happens now.

That moment when you think… “Just let them sleep, I need a break.” I get it.

But that extra 20-30 minutes of a late afternoon nap often turns into bedtime taking forever, more night wakings and earlier mornings.

A late nap cuts into sleep pressure and that’s what impacts night sleep.

You can let them sleep but just know you’re usually trading quiet now for a harder bedtime and night later.

Save this for the moment you KNOW you should wake them… but don’t 😂

Your child does not need the Pinterest-perfect bedtime routine. And that’s coming from two people who spend a LOT of time talking about routines. 😉

Rebecca is an SLP and owner of Bespoke Speech Therapy for Kids Toronto. Andria is a pediatric sleep consultant and owner of Family Sleep & Wellness Experts. They’re also both moms.

Bath. Books. Songs. Prayers. Face washing. Cuddles. Whatever works for YOUR family.

What matters more is that your child knows what happens next and where the routine begins and ends.

And that consistency can support more than sleep. When we use the same words around the same familiar steps, children have repeated opportunities to understand that language and eventually participate in the routine themselves.

Your routine should be simple enough that you can realistically repeat it night after night and familiar enough that another caregiver can step in and follow it too.

There is no perfect routine. Just one that works for your family. 🤍
