Toddler sleep can feel like one of the biggest challenges in the early years of motherhood. By this stage, sleep often stops being just about naps and night wakes, and can start to feel more like a negotiation, a power struggle, or even a knock to our confidence as parents.
In this episode, I’m joined by child sleep specialist Jess Prescott, founder of Jess' Sleep Secrets. Jess works with families navigating everything from bedtime battles and night wakes to co-sleeping transitions and those classic toddler delay tactics.
But rather than focusing on quick fixes, this conversation explores what’s really going on beneath the surface of toddler sleep.
We talk about the developmental shifts that happen in the toddler years, what self-settling actually means, and how parents can move away from trying to control sleep and instead feel more confident and calm in their approach.
In this episode we explore:
• Why toddler sleep often feels so different from baby sleep• What’s really going on when toddlers resist bedtime• The truth about self-settling and independent sleep• How to hold calm, confident boundaries at bedtime• The role parental confidence plays in sleep dynamics• Rethinking expectations around regressions and “sleeping through”
If bedtime currently feels more like a battle than a wind-down, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and hopefully a little more confidence as you navigate this stage.
