Episode 116: Yes, you can wake your sleeping child
About this episode
This episode discusses when and why parents should wake their sleeping children from naps to improve nighttime sleep.
Waking your child from a nap might feel counterintuitive - especially if you were up half the night with them! But sometimes a long day nap only increases the chances of another tricky night - at some point, we have to put the brakes on this cycle. In this episode of Brand New Little People, Dr Fallon (PhD, Sleep Practitioner) explains when and why your baby or toddler should be woken from their naps.
