Sleep is important! It’s important for baby development, and for parents. Your child will be in a better mood if they get the right amount of sleep. For a toddler, napping too much may make it harder to get to sleep at night. This means no sleep for parents. If they nap too little, they may be too overtired to get to sleep at night. This also means no sleep for parents. How much sleep is enough, and when should it happen? It seems like a simple question, but answers differ widely.
