hi
i'm dr bruce hewitt and this segment of
our video series on helping your child
learn to sleep successfully covers ages
9 to 18 months by 9-10 months a baby's
biological clock is mature
and they are synchronized to a 24-hour
day
just like an adult therefore wait times
nap times and bedtimes can be at the
same time each day
which leads me to the most important
piece of sleep advice
that i can give keep your child's wait
time
the same each day this is important
because modern lifestyles can be chaotic
but if you keep the wake
time the same each day
you'll discover it's a lot easier to get
back on schedule
i actually think this advice applies
equally
to childhood to adolescence and to
adulthood
gradually the time spent tending to them
in the middle of the night will decrease
in length
and your comfort measures will evolve
from picking them up and rocking them
to just padding them on the back to
using your sleep cues to just verbal
comfort
and ultimately over maybe the course of
two or three weeks
just using comfort verbally from the
door
for parents who worry about letting your
baby cry
please keep this in mind the main thing
that gives the baby
a sense of security is the
predictability
of what's going to happen next
so if your response in the middle of the
night is consistent
your baby will quickly learn that they
haven't been abandoned
that they are safe and they will become
more confident sleeping
throughout the night without your
intervention
i would say that this age range is the
most
problematic for parents if your baby is
still not sleeping through the night
please look at the sleep log attached to
this website
fill it out call the clinic make an
appointment and let's have a
conversation
now in our next segment we will talk
about one of the most challenging sleep
problems that toddlers experience
between the ages of 18 and 36 months
