Does it affect attachment? - There are three types of stress to consider when we’re talking about it in the context of child development that may cause a child to cry or have some negative feelings - positive stress, tolerable stress, and toxic stress. The stress a child experiences in their early years will affect how their brain develops. As one might guess, we want to avoid our child experiencing toxic stress, especially in the early years of critical brain development. As defined in her research, Hillary A. Franke states that toxic stress “results in prolonged activation of the stress response, with a failure of the body to recover fully. It differs from a normal stress response in that there is a lack of caregiver support, reassurance, or emotional attachments.” https://www.thesoundsleeper.com/blog/sleep-regressions monthly 0.5 2023-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/658c490e-4e93-4881-8cca-cc3a09c8a4cf/marketst-creative-sept2022-11.jpg Blog - Sleep regressions - 3 frequently asked questions If sick, do your best to keep your child comfortable so they can sleep better. Sleep heals. They may have more wakings if they’re uncomfortable or need medicine. Sometimes a few extra snuggles can help too. My best advice is to try to maintain sleep skills, but know that you can always get back on track when your little one is feeling better https://www.thesoundsleeper.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-nap-transitions monthly 0.5 2024-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/9826103f-8bfc-4be9-8d7d-380e8017659e/unsplash-image-ecRuhwPIW7c.jpg Blog - Everything You Need to Know About Nap Transitions If you’ve identified that it’s time for this final transition, you’ll gradually reduce the nap by 30-minutes every few days. You’ll also want to adjust bedtime depending on your child’s behavior. Once they completely drop the nap, you’ll want to offer quiet time. This is simply some time by themself, in their room, for an hour or so. You can have special “quiet time only” toys for this time of day, such as puzzles or legos. You will also offer an earlier bedtime again, around 7/7:30 p.m. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/20a14635-1226-4e24-a3f8-405b7fd7d072/TSS-EOY26.jpg Blog - Everything You Need to Know About Nap Transitions For this transition, you will want to continue to offer both naps to start, but reduce the duration of the first nap. You may start by capping it at an hour, then 30 minutes, or even 15 minutes to help your child get through the morning. You’ll bring the second nap a bit earlier, closer to 12 p.m., and over the course of a few weeks (maybe even 4-6 weeks), you’ll see this nap become one, big consolidated nap, falling right in the middle of your child’s day. As with the previous nap transition, you can bring bedtime 30 minutes earlier during the transition, and gradually move it later as your child can tolerate that much time awake before bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/ba08e664-41ee-4218-b03b-58d8927f0849/nap_babies.jpg Blog - Everything You Need to Know About Nap Transitions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesoundsleeper.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-naps monthly 0.5 2022-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/61d7b50a-cfb1-4ff0-98d5-03f34ae0fb48/the-sleep-sorority-October+21_+2021-MO5_0587.jpg Blog - Everything you need to know about naps - Nap Sleep Environment It should be fully dark in the room where your baby sleeps. you should be playing white noise for the duration of all sleep. your baby should be wearing a sleeping bag, apart from ensuring they’re not cold this is a great sleep association. you should have a solid bedtime and nap routine in place before each period of sleep ( 10 mins before nap time). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/f5b7a56b-5ab6-4a83-b4fa-325e2974b472/Screenshot+2022-11-29+at+14.24.18.png Blog - Everything you need to know about naps Another thing to keep in mind is making sure your little one is following the right wake windows for their age. Having a window that is too short or too long can also result in short naps. Make sure they’re on the correct schedule, and remember that as soon as you think you’ve got it down, it’ll likely change again! They’re constantly growing and developing throughout the first three years of their life, and consequently, their sleep needs are always changing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/1669669924556-P502U5U3WEBBGH1B6SNB/unsplash-image-1vnB2l7j3bY.jpg Blog - Everything you need to know about naps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesoundsleeper.com/blog/are-routines-good-for-babies monthly 0.5 2022-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/5e390cce-df31-4cc4-b840-11a8b89cdeb2/TSS-EOY12.jpg Blog - Are Routines Good for Babies? - “As noted above, we hypothesize that having a bedtime routine has benefits beyond improved sleep, including the broad domains of child mood and emotional–behavioral regulation, parent and family stress/functioning, and child literacy-related outcomes.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303851cea314d36e30a2c9f/c54e9dff-3bf8-49f5-b2be-067c558f0ac9/JUNE2021-10+copy.jpg Blog - Are Routines Good for Babies?
