The Basics of Pediatric Sleep: Toddler Sleep Hygiene

In the fourth part of our on-demand course for pediatric clinicians, “The Basics of Pediatric Sleep,” I discuss the PHDs of Sleep across development.

No, I’m not talking about a graduate degree for understanding sleep, but rather Sleep Patterns, Sleep Hygiene (or Sleep Habits), and Sleep Disturbances.

For toddlers, sleep hygiene focuses on bedtime routines, transition objects, and the importance of staying in a crib until the age of 3 years. This is a safety issue.

At the age of 2 years, most children do not understand “stay in bed,” and if given the opportunity, will get out of bed and wander the house.

In this preview video, I provide some suggestions that you can share with your patients about how to keep children safely in a crib until the age of 3 years.

• Four (4) hours of video content, broken into bite sized videos.
