How I Got My Toddler to Sleep Through the Night

Let’s face it: getting a toddler to sleep through the night feels like mission impossible. I used to be the walking dead—up every hour, begging for five minutes of peace. One night, I decided, enough is enough. The trick? A consistent bedtime routine, just like clockwork. We started with a calming bath, followed by a short bedtime story (no longer than five pages, trust me, toddlers lose interest fast). Then came the magic moment: the sleeping bag. My toddler loved being wrapped up like a burrito, so it became part of the ritual. We dimmed the lights and played soft lullabies, and guess what? The first night, there was no crying, no running out of the room—just quiet. Of course, it didn’t happen instantly, but by sticking to it, my toddler learned the routine, and soon, they were sleeping like a little angel. So, if you’re desperate for a full night of sleep, try consistency. The secret is to make bedtime a calming, predictable event—and maybe cross your fingers for some good luck!
