The biggest sleep mistake I see parents make isn't settling... it's getting sleep pressure wrong.
As a paediatric nurse and certified sleep consultant, I see families constantly changing bedtimes, wake windows and naps, when the real problem is that their baby's sleep pressure simply isn't right.
Too much sleep can be just as problematic as not enough.
When your baby's sleep pressure isn't quite right, it can lead to:
• Fighting naps
• Resisting bedtime
• False starts
• Frequent overnight wakes
• Early morning waking
• Short naps
The good news?
Sleep pressure isn't guesswork.
