Toddler Sleep Solutions – Transitioning to the Toddler Bed and Staying in the Room S2E42 Episode 77
In this episode Dr. Sylvia Bank and Dr. Vivian Carlin tackle a common parenting challenge: transitioning toddlers from a crib to a toddler bed and managing the sleep disruptions that can follow. They share practical strategies for establishing strong bedtime routines, handling the newfound freedom toddlers have to leave their beds, and resetting sleep habits after setbacks like illness or travel. Drawing from both clinical experience and life with large families, the hosts discuss tools such as positive reinforcement, reward systems, bedtime passes, and comfort objects to help toddlers stay in bed and sleep independently. They also review guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics on timing the crib-to-bed transition, maintaining consistent routines, and keeping young explorers safe at night—giving parents realistic, actionable tips to help the whole household get better sleep.
