How to Handle Night Wakings Like a Pro (13–24 Months | Day 1, Video 4)
You’ve made it to the final prep video before Night 1—great job! In Day 1, Video 4, Dana Obleman shares key strategies to help you handle those middle-of-the-night wake-ups that are common in the early stages of toddler sleep training.
It’s totally normal to feel a mix of nerves and excitement—but remember, tonight marks the beginning of your toddler learning real sleep skills. And that’s something to celebrate!
🌙 What you’ll learn in this video:
– Why waiting a few minutes before responding to wake-ups can actually help
– How to respond using the same approach you used at bedtime
– Why it’s time to stop overnight feeds—and how to do it without confusion
– How partners or helpers can play a key role, especially if you’ve been breastfeeding
– Why consistency is key (even if the night feels long!)
📝 If you’re planning to use the “leave and check” method instead of staying in the room, there’s a downloadable step-by-step guide waiting for you at https://sleepsense.net/plus, along with a Sleep Tracker and other helpful tools.
💪 You’ve got this! Stay consistent, hang in there until at least 6:00am, and we’ll check in again tomorrow morning with more guidance.
