Hi Nappers,
Toddlers are fierce, especially when they hit the infamous two-year sleep regression.
One day they’re napping like angels; the next, they’re backflipping out of the cot, screaming blue murder, and convincing you they’re ready to drop the nap altogether.
Spoiler: they’re not. But they’re very convincing.
In this week’s episode, we’re sharing exactly what’s happening behind the scenes, how long it really lasts, and the mindset shift that will help you hold steady when your toddler tries to call the shots. Plus: the “milk run” nap rescue plan you’ll want in your back pocket.
