Health Tip: Naptime for Toddlers
By LadyLively on April 9, 2014
It’s important to teach your toddler healthy sleep habits, experts say.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these suggestions to help your toddler get a good night’s sleep:
- Create a bedtime schedule based on when your child seems to become sleepy.
- Develop a soothing routine of a bath, stories and some quiet time.
- If you get a late start and want to keep your toddler’s bedtime on track, prepared a shorter version of the daily routine.
- Be consistent, to help your child know what to expect.
- Make sure your child is comfortable and has a favorite comfort item ( for example, a blanket or stuffed animal) in bed.
