A solid stretch of sleep isn’t just a dream. If your family’s been staying up through the night, these words of advice from our experts can help.
IT’S BEEN months, maybe years, since your little one started sleeping through the night. And yet, there you are, wide awake at 2:47 a.m., because she wants water, is scared, or has some need she can’t quite explain.
Your priority is clear: You need your family to sleep. You also have to quit thinking about that awful thing Uncle Howie said to you back when you were first pregnant, about how you wouldn’t be able to get a good night’s rest for the next 18 years.
He was wrong.
Of course, it is likely that there will be occasional sleep setbacks, but you can easily achieve a 95 percent success rate (and problem solve your way through the rest of the time).
There’s just one rule: Total sleep is what counts. Two-year-olds who sleep less than 11 hours per night are five times as likely to have social or emotional problems compared to those who sleep for 13 to 14 hours, according to a study published in Infant Behavior and Development.
