Hi Nappers,
One minute they’re out like a light — the next week they’re rolling around for 30 minutes before bedtime. So, what’s normal when it comes to how long your baby should take to fall asleep?
In this week’s episode, Sally and Bec break down what sleep onset latency really is, why a quick bedtime isn’t always the goal, and when longer settling is just your baby’s way of winding down. If you’ve ever wondered should I fix this? — this one’s for you.
