Raise your hand if your child is the master of the 30 minute nap?! Or maybe you've nailed it down to exactly 33 minutes?!  Yes, I hear that ALL the time! Short naps are for sure a common theme with my clients, and we work hard to solve them!  What's the reason behind them? Daytime sleep cycles around about (you guessed it) 30 minutes! So typically the child is waking up after one sleep cycle and not really sure how to go back to sleep.  On this week's podcast I'm sharing this checklist: What's baby looking for?
