Nap Length Tips & Night 5 Regression (13–24 Months | Day 5)
Welcome to Day 5 of the toddler sleep training course! Last night marked your first night with the chair in the middle of the room—a big step toward more independent sleep. Whether it went great or was a bit rough, you’re right on track.
In today’s video, Dana Obleman shares tips for helping your toddler start to take longer naps—and explains a common (and temporary!) setback many families experience on Night 5.
🛏️ What you’ll learn in this video:
– Why the #1 nap goal this week is just getting your toddler down in the crib
– How to tell if your child is ready to drop from two naps to one
– Two methods for lengthening short naps—and how to know which one to try
– What a “Night 5 regression” looks like and why it’s totally normal
– How to stay consistent, even when things feel like they’ve taken a step back
🎯 Progress isn’t always linear—but every step you’re taking now is building strong, lasting sleep habits. Stick with it!
