Text us your sleep questions.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jessica from Rooted in Routine, who shares expert insights on how to successfully manage two big milestones in a toddler’s life: potty training and sleep routines. For many parents, the challenges of sleep regressions, nighttime accidents, and potty training setbacks can feel overwhelming. Jessica helps us tackle these topics with practical advice to help parents support their child’s development without compromising on sleep. 

We cover the essentials, including:

  • Signs of Potty Training Readiness: How to know if your toddler is ready to start potty training.
  • Daytime vs. Nighttime Potty Training: Should parents focus on daytime potty training first, or can they tackle nighttime potty training at the same time?
  • Nighttime Potty Training Tips: Proven strategies for helping your child stay dry overnight, including whether to wake them or let them sleep through the night.
  • Managing Potty-Related Bedtime Delays: Tips for handling common bedtime stalling tactics involving trips to the potty.
  • Hydration and Bedtime: Guidelines on balancing hydration and reducing nighttime accidents by managing fluid intake before bedtime.
  • Navigating Sleep Regressions: Strategies for managing sleep setbacks during the potty training process and other big milestones.
  • Handling Nighttime Accidents: Best practices for responding to accidents in the night—should you wake your child or wait until morning?
  • Creating Routines for Sleep and Potty Training: The importance of routines in helping children succeed with both potty training and sleep.
  • Encouraging Independence: How to support your child in using the potty at night while ensuring restful sleep for everyone.
  • Common Potty Training Mistakes: Pitfalls that may impact your child’s sleep quality and how to avoid them.

Tune in now to learn more about setting up successful toddler potty training routines and fostering good sleep habits for a smoother transition through these milestones!
