Sleep vs. Real Life

Room Sharing, Sibling Noise & Big Disruptions

Life Doesn’t Pause for Perfect Sleep

You’ve got a toddler yelling in the next room.
Your baby’s crib just moved.
Daycare drop-offs are chaotic.

Sleep training isn’t happening in a vacuum—and that’s okay.

At Sleepy Little One, we help parents adapt without losing progress.

Sharing a Room? Here's How to Make It Work

✅ Use a white noise machine near the crib
✅ Space beds/cribs apart
✅ Keep bedtime routines separate if possible
✅ Use a visual barrier (curtain, divider) if needed

It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just predictable.

Crib-to-Bed Transition

If your toddler is climbing or resisting the crib, it may be time.

✅ Wait until at least 2.5–3 years, if possible
✅ Set clear bedtime boundaries
✅ Use toddler-safe sleep sacks or a clock light

The key: Keep expectations consistent.

Dealing with Travel, Daycare, or Moves

Big changes = disrupted sleep.

Your job? Stay calm and return to basics:

✅ Familiar sleep cues (same book, same phrase)
✅ Recreate the sleep environment (white noise, sleep sack)
✅ Don’t rush—give 1–2 weeks to settle

Final Thought

You don’t need a silent house and perfect crib to sleep train.
You need consistency, patience, and a few tools to pivot when life gets messy.

You’re not off track—you’re just in real life.
