Illness & the Big Step Out of the Room (13–24 Months | Day 10)
Welcome to Day 10 of the toddler sleep training program! Tonight marks a major milestone—you’ll be moving completely out of your toddler’s room. But first, Dana Obleman shares tips on another common roadblock: illness and how to handle it without losing the sleep progress you’ve worked so hard to build.
Yes, being sick can throw things off—but with the right strategy, you’ll stay on track.
🩺 What you’ll learn in this video:
How to comfort your toddler while staying consistent with sleep routines
Why bed-sharing during illness often creates more problems than it solves
How to be present (without undoing your progress) if your child is sick
When and how to offer comfort at night without reverting to old habits
What to expect—and how to handle—the big transition out of the room tonight
🚪 Pro tip: If your toddler struggles with this new independence, try a more gradual approach—like sitting in the doorway with your legs visible. Every child is different!
