  3. Tackle Nighttime Wake-Ups: Be prepared for common requests like "I’m too hot/cold," "I need milk," or "I want a story" by having a plan in place for how to handle them calmly.
  4. Set Boundaries: Address situations where a child asks for the other parent or caregiver, and reinforce the bedtime routine with a united front.
  5. Maintain the Routine: Consistency over time is key in resolving sleep challenges. Stick to the plan even when it gets tough, and you'll see lasting improvements in your child’s sleep patterns.
