Daycare sleep problems are one of the most common challenges parents face, especially when baby and toddler naps suddenly become inconsistent outside the home. But what’s actually driving these changes, and how can parents approach it?

In this episode of Ask the Doulas, we’re joined by certified pediatric sleep coach Allison Egidi, founder of Sleep and Wellness Coach, who has supported over 1,000 families in improving baby and toddler sleep and navigating daycare sleep transitions.

We dive into:
 • Why babies and toddlers sleep differently at daycare vs at home
 • How structure, routine, and peer environment impact naps
 • How to prepare your baby before starting daycare
 • How to talk with caregivers about sleep routines and expectations
 • What to do when daycare naps are inconsistent or fall apart

Whether you're just starting daycare or trying to stabilise sleep after the transition, this conversation helps you feel more confident supporting your child’s sleep in real-world childcare settings.

🎧 Perfect for expecting parents, working parents, and families navigating daycare sleep challenges with babies and toddlers.
