In this episode of Thriving Parent-ing, I explored the concept of 'catnapping' in babies, which refers to shorter naps usually lasting one sleep cycle of about 45-50 minutes.
The discussion includes whether parents should be concerned about catnapping and various strategies to potentially extend their baby's naps. I explained the development of baby sleep cycles, from the early weeks to around six months, and how changes in sleep patterns can affect nap duration. Key topics include creating a sleep-friendly environment, understanding and interpreting baby's tired signs, and the pros and cons of using resettling techniques. Practical tips such as darkening the room, using white noise, ensuring the baby is well-fed, and gradually extending awake times are provided.
This episode underscores the importance of tailoring sleep solutions to each baby's unique needs and emphasizes that catnapping is a normal phase for many infants. I also reassure parents to appreciate the perfect moments with their children while navigating sleep challenges.
