035: Floor Beds, Toddler Naps, and Baby Sleep

The Ultimate Baby Podcast

When it comes to baby and toddler sleep, there is nothing linear about it. However, making the best decisions for your family is all that matters. We recently upgraded both kids to using floor beds. I share all about this experience and the benefits of having a floor bed. As well as all the ebbs and flows with naps and nighttime sleep with infant and toddler sleep.
