In last week's episode, we talked all about realistic expectations for a baby and toddler's sleep at daycare.

This week, we're diving into more specifics about what it looks like to sleep train a baby or toddler in daycare. We're covering:

• What to request from and communicate to the daycare provider
• The importance of advocating for your little one
• Realistic expectations for sleep at daycare and at home
• Practical advice about what day of the week might be best to start sleep training

And more!

It is not uncommon for babies and toddlers to sleep differently at daycare than they do at home - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

So in this episode, I am sharing realistic expectations you can have about daycare sleep. I will help you think through what questions to ask your daycare providers about sleep at their center, and I will also share what you can realistically expect from your baby and toddler as they nap at daycare.

Our goal is that you feel more prepared knowing what sleep will likely look like at daycare, as well as how to help your baby or toddler still sleep well when they get home!

There are certain milestones we talk about a lot in parenting - learning to crawl, walk, eat food for the first time, the first word, etc. And there are some sleep milestones we talk about regularly, like sleeping through the night, moving baby to their own room, or transitioning to a big bed.

One sleep milestone we don't often talk about but is certainly a transition, is giving our toddlers a pillow and blanket.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• When it's safe to give your toddler a pillow and blanket
• How to go about giving them the pillow and blanket
• The best toddler pillows and blankets
