This is it, mama. This is the final boss. The last level. The icing on the parenting cake.

​​Well, I suppose you still have about 15 or 16 years of parenting left before you send them off to college, but those are a day at the park compared to this.

I’m talking, of course, about nighttime potty training.
This is another one of those parenting milestones that can seem peculiar to outsiders. Still, for those of us who have been through it, we know that a celebration of epic proportions is in order on the day we finally say our final farewell to diapers. It’s not as sexy as completing your Master’s degree or landing a big promotion, but handing down that Diaper Genie to
one of your friends after getting your toddler 100% potty trained feels pretty similar on the old accomplishment-o-meter.

Today, I’ve some tips for you to determine whether your toddler is ready for nighttime potty training and, if so, how to maximize your chances of success without sacrificing the progress you’ve made with their sleep.

So, jumping right in, is your little one ready to go the night without using the potty?

Notice how I phrased that specifically? I’ve seen nighttime potty training approaches that involve actually going into your child’s bedroom at regular intervals during the night and waking them up to go to the bathroom!
​
All the nopes to this approach. Every last nope in the nope collection. We do not sacrifice sleep for potty training. It’s way too confusing for a toddler to be told, after all of the work they’ve done to finally start sleeping peacefully through the night, that they now have to wake up every three or four hours to go to the bathroom.

If your toddler can’t get through the night without needing to pee, they’re not ready for this.
​
Leave their diaper on at night and tackle this at a later date.

​If, however, your little one’s had a few nights of waking up with a dry diaper, that could mean that they’re up to the challenge. That’s really the prime indicator that this might be a good time to give it a shot. Two or three dry mornings in a week suggests that their bladder muscles have developed to the point where they can hold it for the night, so if that’s the case, let’s give it a shot.

Now, prepare yourself. I’m sure there are stories out there about The Toddler Who Potty Trained Without a Single Accident, but the odds of that happening are not in your favour. Not even close.

So pick a week when you don’t have a whole lot going on, get some extra sheets and PJs at the ready, and get your zen on because the most important thing here is patience. There will be some accidents, and accepting this reality ahead of time will help make the process bearable for you and your little one.
​

​Keep this mindset when you’re explaining what’s going on to your toddler. It’s great to be enthusiastic and super-positive, but don’t make it sound too monumental. We’ve got to keep in mind that this isn’t something they have control over, and building up expectations on them can result in some feelings of failure and disappointment if they do have an accident in the night. This is also something to consider if you’re looking at a “reward chart” or some such thing for nights without an accident. I’m
not inherently against them, but if your toddler tends to get really upset if they don’t make the grade, it might be better to let them succeed or fail without rewards and consequences. 
​

Make sure your toddler gets on the potty right before bed, even if they say they don’t need to go.

I know many parents have found that a potty session 30 minutes before bedtime, followed by another one right before bed, has yielded the best results.
When an accident happens, as it probably will at least a few times, don’t act disappointed or irritated. (Go ahead and feel that way, sure, but you keep that noise to yourself.) Just take your toddler by the hand and walk them back to their room, get them cleaned up and into some fresh pyjamas, and change their bed with the clean sheets you’ve prepared ahead of time.

I do have one really sweet pro tip for you here. Grab some plastic sheeting, lay a layer over the mattress, then add a set of bed sheets, followed by another layer of plastic, and finally another set of bed sheets. That way, if there’s an accident in the night, you just go in, strip off the top layer, and bam! There’s a clean, dry, freshly made bed waiting underneath.

That’ll help get you and your little one back to bed in no time flat.
Keep the room as dark as possible, keep the process brief, and avoid putting your little one in the bath unless absolutely necessary. Getting into the tub is likely to throw a wrench in your child’s sleep for the night. They might get it into their heads that wetting the bed gets them fifteen minutes in the bath, which, for some kids, might sound like a pretty sweet proposition.

So what happens if it doesn’t take? If you’re still experiencing regular accidents after a week or two, consider the situation. Is your toddler ready and just not willing, or willing but not ready? And when you’re deciding, consider whether your own desire to see an end to diapers is influencing your decision. Any sane parent would love to say goodbye to diapers as soon as possible, but there really is no rushing this process. If they’re not ready, they’re not ready, and you’re just putting a lot of unnecessary stress on both of you by trying to get it done before it’s time.

To reiterate, one last time, getting your toddler out of their diaper is not worth sacrificing their sleep routine. Don’t attempt this crazy “dream-potty” routine where you try to get them to pee while they’re still sleeping, don’t wake them up halfway through the night to go to the bathroom, and don’t drop two hundred bucks on a bed-wetting alarm. (How is that even a thing?)

You’ll just be trading one issue for another, and since you’ve already put the work in to get them sleeping through the night, you’re much better off just waiting until the moment is right.

How Physical Activity Boosts Natural Sleep Hormones in KidsSleep struggles often frustrate parents. But the answer might not always be in a supplement, sleep coaching or screen restriction. Instead, the solution could be as simple as movement. Science now shows that physical activity boosts natural sleep hormones in kids, supporting melatonin and serotonin balance in a powerful way. While bedtime routines matter, what happens during the day plays a larger role than many expect. This article breaks down the connection between movement and sleep.

Why Kids’ Bodies Respond Strongly to Exercise
Children aren’t just small adults. Their bodies change fast, and so do their sleep rhythms. Hormones shift as they grow, and those shifts affect bedtime.

Unlike adults, kids can’t fake energy. If they don’t move enough, it shows. Their brains build energy during rest, but they release that energy through movement. Without that daily release, sleep becomes lighter and less consistent.
​
Even short bursts of activity help. A game of tag, a backyard run, or jumping over sidewalk cracks gives the brain a natural push. The body then begins its nighttime hormone cycle on time.

When to Encourage Active Play
Not all physical activity supports good sleep. Timing matters more than most people think.

Exercise early in the day sets the stage for restful nights. The brain links daylight and movement with a healthy circadian rhythm. Children who play in the morning or afternoon usually fall asleep faster at night.

Evening exercise might delay that cycle. If your child runs around too close to bedtime, they may struggle to calm down. While some evening walks are fine, rough play or intense sports should wrap up by dinnertime.

Here’s when to aim for movement:

• Before school: A walk, dance session, or bike ride
• After lunch: Playground, stretching, or light chores
• Before dinner: Calm, slow movement like yoga or nature walks

The Benefits Go Beyond Sleep
Physical movement doesn’t just help sleep—it supports nearly every part of a child’s development. In fact, the many benefits of physical activity for children include stronger bones, improved balance, and sharper focus.

When kids move, they gain body awareness. They learn what tired feels like. They begin to recognize rest as a reward, not a punishment. This mindset helps them ease into sleep without resistance.

Exercise also decreases screen time, which helps sleep by itself. Active kids are less likely to stay glued to devices, which can delay melatonin production.

What Sleep Hormones Actually Do in the Brain
Melatonin often gets the spotlight, but it’s only part of the picture. Serotonin—the hormone linked to calmness and happiness—also sets the tone for sleep.

Physical activity raises both of these hormones in natural ways. As kids move, their brains respond with a healthy dose of serotonin. Later, as darkness sets in, that serotonin helps the body create melatonin.

This internal process works best when it follows a routine. The brain wants consistency. Random bursts of activity won’t help much. Instead, a regular pattern allows the brain to predict when it’s time to rest.

Parents who support daily movement are giving their children the tools to rest well, not just now, but long into adulthood.

​By now, I’m sure you’ve heard the stories surrounding essential oils and aromatherapy. Suppose you’re living on this planet and have access to the internet. In that case, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the headlines about peppermint oil being a miracle cure for nausea or oregano oil’s powerful antifungal properties. Many of us have at least one friend from high school who tried their hand selling doTERRA oils, and it’s easy to see why. The global essential oil market was expected to reach almost $12 billion USD by 2022. (That’s not a typo, folks. Twelve billion. With a “B.”)
​
Essential oils are big business, and people who like them like them a lot. 


What are essential oils used for? 
It would be a much more efficient approach to list the afflictions that essential oils aren’t said to remedy. If you ask the Essential Oil advocates, almost every affliction in the book seems to have an essential oil solution.


Doctors and researchers might be more likely to refer you to the success stories of tea tree oil for acne prevention or citrus oil’s ability to prevent bacterial growth since those are more scientifically established. But just for the sake of brevity, I can tell you that Essential Oils, as well as some of their individual components, possess antimicrobial, antiviral, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties as well as purported psychogenic effects such as relieving stress, treating depression, and aiding with insomnia.

Do essential oils work? 
It’s hard to say. Most studies involving essential oils haven’t been extended to clinical trials yet. People who use them will swear up and down that they’re effective. However, peer-reviewed scientific studies are still on the fence, largely because it’s challenging to study the effectiveness of many essential oils because they don’t contain one specific component. In an individual oil, up to 400 substances can be identified.


Are essential oils safe for babies? 
Sorry to keep being so ambiguous. That really depends on how the essential oils are used. So far, it appears that there are very few adverse side effects from essential oils when they’re used as directed. However, it’s important to note that, in the US, they do not require approval from the FDA.

​One notable exception is the estrogen-like effects noted for lavender and tea tree oils, which have been linked to breast enlargement in prepubescent boys when applied over long periods of time. 


Will lavender oil help my baby sleep?
I mean, maybe? Much like any other aromatherapy remedy, it might help a little, it might help a lot, or it might have no effect whatsoever. It depends on the baby.
 ​

​What HAS been proven to help your baby sleep more soundly through the night is the development of their independent sleep skills. Babies who can get themselves back to sleep when they wake up at night sleep for longer stretches at a time and have lower proportions of active sleep and higher proportions of quiet sleep.

So, by all means, if you’re comfortable with using essential oils safely and you find them effective, then go to town. But suppose your baby needs a thorough, comprehensive approach to help address the root causes of their sleep issues. In that case, I’m ready to help with a step-by-step approach and all the support you need while they master those independent sleep skills. 
Better nights are right around the corner!

Sleep is one of the most critical aspects of early childhood development, but many parents struggle to establish consistent sleep patterns for their babies and toddlers. While sleep training can seem overwhelming, gradual sleep coaching techniques can lead to long-term success. With the right strategies, parents can help their baby take better naps, eliminate early morning wake-ups, and get their child to sleep better throughout the night. Let's dive into how these techniques can bring harmony to bedtime routines. 

Gradual sleep coaching is a method that involves gently teaching babies to fall asleep on their own without relying on sleep props like pacifiers or rocking. Unlike abrupt methods, such as "cry it out," this approach prioritizes a slower, step-by-step process to help the baby adjust. This minimizes stress for both the child and the parents. Over time, it helps babies learn to soothe themselves and fall asleep independently. This method can help your baby take better naps during the day. 

Consistent nap routines

Establishing consistent nap routines is often one of the biggest challenges for parents. Babies have trouble consolidating daytime sleep, frequently waking up after short naps. Parents can ensure that their child’s sleep environment is dark, free from distractions, and consistent to improve naps. White noise machines or blackout curtains can also help babies stay asleep longer by blocking out sudden noises or daylight. 

One of the most common sleep issues parents face is early morning wake-ups. Waking up too early can affect a child’s mood and energy levels throughout the day, not to mention disrupting the entire family's schedule. Gradual sleep coaching techniques can help move early morning wake-ups to a more reasonable time by adjusting bedtime and managing the child’s sleep environment. 

The first step is assessing the child’s total sleep time. Often, an early wake-up is caused by an overtired or overstimulated child. Making gradual adjustments to the bedtime routine, such as putting your baby to bed earlier or introducing a calming activity before bed, can lead to longer and more consistent sleep. Also, ensure that your child wakes up simultaneously every day. This helps regulate their internal clock, making it easier to eliminate early morning wake-ups altogether. 

Help Your Child Sleep Better

Long-term sleep success hinges on getting your child to sleep through the night. This is where gradual sleep coaching truly shines. When done correctly, this approach can help your child sleep better by addressing underlying habits that disrupt sleep. For example, many babies rely on being rocked, fed, or held to fall asleep, but once they wake up in the middle of the night, they cannot get back to sleep without help. 

Gradually, you can teach your child to self-soothe by slowly reducing your involvement in their sleep routine. Instead of immediately intervening when they wake up, allow a few minutes for them to settle themselves. This might involve reducing the time spent rocking them or slowly transitioning from feeding them to using other calming techniques like gentle back patting or a comforting voice. 

Consistency is the main step during this process. If you maintain the same bedtime and sleep routine every night, children will be more likely to develop the skills they need to sleep independently. 

Gradual sleep coaching is not a quick fix—it requires time, patience, and persistence. However, the long-term benefits are worth the effort. Children who learn to fall asleep on their own sleep better and develop healthier sleep habits that can last a lifetime. 

Sleep Pattern During Moving

Parents often feel overwhelmed by sleep training, especially during a relocation. In most cases, they turn to a company such as Harris Movers, which understands the importance of healthy sleep, especially during stressful times like moving. Maintaining sleep routines during major life changes, such as moving homes, is necessary to provide consistency for your child. They can help parents navigate challenges and develop a sleep coaching plan that fits their family’s needs. 

Regarding sleep coaching, gradual techniques allow parents to nurture healthy sleep habits over time, avoiding the stress of more intense methods. These approaches are designed to support both the baby and the parents through the process, making it easier to implement lasting changes. Sleep coaching offers a more peaceful way to create consistent sleep patterns, improve naps, address early wake-ups, and help children sleep better. 

The Importance of a Pre-Sleep Routine

Creating a calming pre-sleep routine is another essential strategy in gradual sleep coaching. A soothing bedtime routine helps signal the baby that it’s time to sleep. This could include a warm bath, a gentle massage, or reading a short bedtime story. Over time, consistent routines help babies associate certain activities with sleep, making it easier for them to fall asleep. Ensuring the baby’s sleep environment is consistent across naps and nighttime also reinforces the sleep routine, promoting better sleep habits. 

It’s important to note that gradual sleep coaching isn’t just about improving the child’s sleep. It also benefits parents by reducing stress and promoting family well-being. Parents feel empowered as they see progress with minimal tears. The gentle nature of this approach allows families to remain consistent without the emotional toll that harsher methods can cause. Gradual sleep coaching fosters a positive sleep environment that promotes long-term healthy sleep habits for the entire family. 

Gradual Sleep Coaching Techniques Can Lead to Long-Term Success 

So, now you know. Gradual sleep coaching techniques can lead to long-term success. This method builds long-term healthy habits without overwhelming parents or babies. You can create a calm, consistent bedtime routine that makes sleep easier. Adjusting your baby’s environment helps with naps, early wake-ups, and sleeping through the night. As your child learns to self-soothe, they will begin sleeping better, and your stress levels will decrease. 

Consistency and patience are key. Small, steady changes lead to lasting success. This approach benefits the whole family, creating a peaceful and restful environment. Gradual sleep coaching supports both your baby’s sleep needs and your emotional well-being.

Parenting a toddler can be a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and, sometimes, sleepless nights. If you’ve embarked on the journey of sleep training, you might be familiar with the term "extinction burst." It sounds daunting, but understanding and addressing it can be the key to a peaceful night’s sleep for both you and your little one. Let's dive into what an extinction burst is, why it happens, and how you can navigate through it successfully.

What is an Extinction Burst?
An extinction burst occurs when you first start to withdraw reinforcement from a behaviour—in this case, your toddler’s nighttime awakenings. Picture this: your toddler has gotten used to certain responses when they wake up at night, such as being picked up, rocked, or given a bottle. When you begin sleep training and stop these responses, your toddler might initially escalate their behaviour. This escalation is the extinction burst. Essentially, things get worse before they get better as your child tests the boundaries to see if their previous behaviour will eventually yield the desired response.

Steps to Work Through the Extinction Burst

1. Stay Consistent Consistency is crucial. If you give in even once, your toddler learns that persistence pays off, which can prolong the extinction burst. Stick to your sleep training plan, whether it involves gradual withdrawal, controlled crying, or another method.
2. Create a Solid Bedtime Routine A predictable, calming bedtime routine helps signal to your toddler that it's time to wind down and sleep. Activities like a warm bath, storytime, and gentle lullabies can create a comforting environment that eases the transition to sleep.
3. Comfort Without Reinforcement If your toddler wakes up and cries, offer comfort in a way that doesn’t reinforce the waking behavior. This could mean patting them gently, speaking softly, or using a reassuring phrase. Avoid picking them up, feeding them, or engaging in prolonged interaction.
4. Monitor and Adjust the Environment Ensure your toddler’s sleep environment is conducive to rest. This includes a comfortable temperature, minimal noise, use a white noise machine and a dark blacked out room. Sometimes, environmental factors can exacerbate nighttime awakenings.
5. Stay Calm and Patient Your toddler will take cues from your behaviour. Staying calm, patient, and reassuring can help them feel secure even during the tumultuous period of an extinction burst. Remember, this phase is temporary and will pass.
6. Keep Track of Progress Chart your toddler’s sleep patterns and any changes in behaviour. This can help you identify improvements and stay motivated. Progress might be slow, but even small steps forward are a win. Use the Rested App to track your child's sleep. 

When to Seek Professional Help
If you find that the extinction burst is lasting longer than expected, or if you're struggling to stay consistent and need additional support, don’t hesitate to seek help from a professional. A certified pediatric sleep consultant can offer personalized advice and strategies tailored to your child’s needs. They can also provide the emotional support you need during this challenging time.

Final Thoughts
Navigating through an extinction burst during sleep training can be exhausting, but it’s a vital step toward helping your toddler learn to self-soothe and sleep independently. By staying consistent, creating a comforting bedtime routine, and seeking help when necessary, you can guide your child through this phase and onto restful nights for the entire family.

Remember, you’re not alone in this journey. Many parents have faced the same challenges and come out the other side with happier, well-rested children. Hold on to that thought, keep pushing through, and soon, peaceful nights will become the norm rather than the exception.

Throughout the sleep training process, I'm often asked how to keep baby awake through their feeding during the bedtime routine.


When you're working on sleep training, my number one rule is to keep your baby wide awake through any feeds. 


Nine times out of ten, the problem is that the bottle or breast has become a sleep prop. If you don't break the connection your baby has between the feed and sleep, the process will be so much more complicated.

It can cause night wake-ups, and then when they wake up at night, they will still have the idea that they need a bottle or breast to get back to sleep at night. 


I suggest moving the feeding up in the bedtime routine. Most people have a feeding as the last step. That can be tricky, especially if they're not napping great yet. They could be tired by the time bedtime comes. By the time they've had a bath, and you've got jammies on, reading stories, and then you're going into a feed, they might be way too exhausted even to try to stay awake for the feed.

Then you're fighting a battle of tickling and talking to them and trying to keep them awake, and they're so tired they really can't help you out. I suggest you move it up to before the bath.

Have the feed, then the bath, jammies, stories, and then bed. That will help break any connection they have with the bottle related to sleep.

If that feels a bit early in the routine, move it immediately after the bath. Sometimes, the tub stimulates children a little, so the feed can help calm them down. Most children really like their bath, so they'll be a bit more awake when you get to the feed.

Then, you can move on to the next steps. The good news is that the better naps get, the less tired they'll be by bedtime, so that's something to look forward to.

The more the separation between the bottle and sleep develops, the less likely they are to try to fall asleep at the bottle. You'll find that with time, even if they are exhausted, they won't use the feeding as a prop.

There won't be a connection there anymore. Your baby will happily have their feed and then put themselves to sleep just fine when they get to the crib.

Moving to a new house can be an exciting adventure, but it often comes with a fair share of anxiety and uncertainty for children. One of the key challenges parents face during this transition is helping children adjust to a new bedroom, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining healthy sleep habits. In this article, we'll explore how comfort items and sleep aids can be instrumental in creating a soothing and welcoming environment for your child. By doing so, you'll not only ease their transition but also ensure that they maintain healthy sleep habits during a move. Let's delve into making a new bedroom a comforting haven for your little one.

Creating a Cozy Haven

When embarking on helping children adjust to a new bedroom, the first step is to create a cozy haven that feels like home. Preparations should start even before the relocation. Therefore, make sure to organize everything thoughtfully as you pack up their old bedroom for the move. This approach ensures their favorite items and comfort pieces are readily accessible in their new space. Soft, inviting bedding with familiar patterns or colors can make the new room feel like a comforting cocoon. Consider involving your child in the decoration process, allowing them to choose a few decor items or wall art pieces that resonate with their personality.

Additionally, if possible, maintain the layout of their old bedroom as closely as possible. Familiarity in placement can provide a sense of continuity that's incredibly reassuring during this period of change. Remember, the goal is to craft an atmosphere that fosters feelings of safety and security, helping your child transition smoothly to their new bedroom.

The Power of Familiarity

Comfort items are akin to a child's trusted companions. They carry the essence of familiarity, providing security amid change. These cherished items are crucial when helping children adjust to a new bedroom. Whether it's a stuffed animal, a well-loved blanket, or a favorite toy, these treasures can soothe and reassure the child.
 
As you settle into the new space, encourage your child to place their beloved items in appropriate locations. Their old bedtime buddies can serve as anchors, connecting the past with the present. The scent and touch of these items can evoke a strong sense of comfort, helping your child feel more at ease in their unfamiliar surroundings.

Familiarity doesn't just stop at comfort items. Consider replicating the lighting conditions and room temperature from their previous bedroom. If the old room had a cozy reading nook, recreate something similar. These seemingly small elements collectively contribute to creating a reassuring ambiance, reinforcing the idea that this new bedroom is still a safe and welcoming place.

Nightlights and Sleep Aids
Light and darkness significantly affect sleep, especially for children adjusting to a new bedroom. The fear of the dark can be a common challenge during this transition, and nightlights can be a simple yet effective solution. A gentle nightlight can provide a reassuring glow, dispelling shadows and making the room feel less intimidating. Opt for a soft, warm light or dim red light that won't disrupt sleep patterns.

In addition to nightlights, consider incorporating sleep aids into your child's bedtime routine. White noise machines can drown out unfamiliar sounds, creating a peaceful auditory environment. Ocean or rain sounds can be particularly helpful in lulling your child to sleep. Using a Zenimal to help your child drift off to sleep with a peaceful sleep meditation or story. 

It's essential to choose sleep aids that are age-appropriate and safe for your child's use. These aids can offer comfort and security, making adjusting to a new bedroom a smoother experience. The goal is to create an environment where your child feels protected and relaxed, ensuring a good night's sleep even in unfamiliar surroundings.

Bedtime Routine

Establishing a consistent bedtime routine is one of the most effective ways to help children adjust to a new bedroom. This ritual signals your child that it's time to wind down and provides a sense of predictability in their new environment. 

Begin by setting a bedtime and sticking to it as closely as possible, even on weekends. That helps regulate your child's internal clock and ensures they get the recommended amount of sleep for their age. Incorporate calming activities like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or gentle cuddling into the routine. These activities help your child relax and create positive associations with bedtime.

If you have a baby, a well-structured bedtime routine can be instrumental in helping them get better naps throughout the day. Keep the room dimly lit to signal that it's nighttime. As you go through the routine consistently, your child will understand that it's time for sleep, adjusting their new bedroom to be smoother and more restful.

Parental Support and Communication

Your support and open communication are indispensable while helping children adjust to a new bedroom. Children often look to their parents for reassurance, especially in times of change. Here are some key ways to provide the support your child needs:

• Listen to Their Concerns: Encourage your child to express their feelings and concerns about the new bedroom. Listening actively and empathetically can help alleviate their worries.
• Be Patient and Understanding: Adjusting to a new environment can take time. Be patient with any sleep disturbances or anxiety your child may experience. Reassure them that it's normal to feel this way.
• Stay Consistent: Consistency in your approach is crucial. Stick to the established bedtime routine, even when faced with resistance. This consistency provides a sense of security.
• Physical Presence: Spend extra time with your child in their new bedroom, whether reading a story or simply sitting together. Your presence can make the room feel cozier.
• Positive Reinforcement: Celebrate small victories. When your child successfully sleeps through the night or becomes more comfortable in their new space, acknowledge and praise their efforts.
  
  

Maintaining open lines of communication and offering unwavering support will help your child confidently navigate the adjustment period, reinforcing their sense of security in their new bedroom.

In Conclusion
​
In helping children adjust to a new bedroom, we've discovered the incredible impact of comfort items, sleep aids, and a consistent bedtime routine. Parental support, communication, and proactive problem-solving play pivotal roles in this transition. Remember, maintaining healthy sleep habits during a move is essential for your child's well-being. By creating a cozy haven, embracing familiarity, and providing the necessary tools for comfort, you can ensure that your child not only adjusts but thrives in their new bedroom.
