🛌Toddler bedtimes🛌
I tend to get questions asking about when to change toddler bedtimes around.
The bottom line is that you don’t really need to! Just because they are older, doesn’t mean they need a later bedtime.
If you’re having bedtime battles, it doesn’t necessarily mean they need a later bedtime, they may just need more connection time and to look at how they fall asleep.
In some situations, toddlers who don’t nap anymore may need an earlier bedtime to combat overtiredness and to ensure they are getting enough sleep in a 24 hour period.
The exception to this rule may be if they have a ‘danger nap’, in which case a later bedtime may be needed.
It’s all very subjective and every child is different, but the bottom line is, just because they are getting older, doesn’t mean they need a later bedtime ❤️
