In this episode of Oh Crap Potty Training, I dive into the ins and outs of transitioning your child from a crib to a bed and why it’s essential for successful night training. We’re talking about fostering independence, avoiding common pitfalls like sleep sacks and bedtime bottles, and creating a sleep environment that actually works for both you and your kiddo. I’ll share practical tips, including how light exposure affects circadian rhythms, and tackle those sleep “crutches” that might be holding you back in the long run. Plus, some thoughts on breaking habits early to make night training smoother. Let’s set the stage for better sleep and potty training success!
