In this bite-sized episode of Thriving Parenting, we dive into the ins and outs of bridging naps—the handy little power naps that can help you survive tricky days with babies and toddlers.

You’ll learn:

• What exactly is a bridging nap and how it works
• When to use it (and when it might backfire)
• Why it’s especially helpful for babies under six months
• Real-life examples for toddlers and older babies
• Troubleshooting tips for early risers and nap refusals

You’ll walk away with another great tool for your parenting toolbox—perfect for navigating nap gaps, early wake-ups, and overtired little ones.
