“Small changes in nap schedules can produce big improvements in sleep”- Dr. Marc Weissbluth
Here’s how it works:
•Sleep advice: Dr. Weissbluth’s seven-year study on the development and disappearance of naps highlighted the importance of daytime sleep. This app gives sleep training tips that are based on the infant’s age and evolve as your infant grows. Simply tap on a tip, and more in-depth instruction appears. ***There is no discussion of “extinction” or “cry-it-out” on this App, however, if a parent follows the advice and nap reminders, they will prevent their infant from getting overtired***
•Nap reminders: As naps shift from “biologic” to “clock” time, the program automatically adjusts its reminders to the infant’s age to create the development of healthy sleep habits. For the first four months, the App is designed to give advice based on HSHHC-the age specific advice/reminders that come at 30,60,90, and120 minute intervals, while the child is marked as “awake,” are designed to prevent the child from getting overtired. ***If you find the reminders annoying, please switch the “sleep reminders” off***. The reminders will continue on age appropriate clock schedules for their naps after four months, as recommended by “HSHHC”
•Nap logging: The parent merely taps a button when the child awakens or goes to sleep and the program will start to log the sleep patterns. If you miss logging a period of sleep by tapping on the awake/asleep icon of the baby, go to the bar graph screen and touch “add nap” and you can log retroactively to keep track of sleep schedules. Tap a bar to edit/delete a sleep block. If used correctly, this log should give parents a good idea of their infant’s sleep schedule. ***This is not meant to be a logging app and that is why we did not include feeding, bathing, or any other activity. Also, there is no reason to count up the total number of hours slept*** Parents (and Dr. Weissbluth) can use these logs to analyze trouble spots in a child’s sleep schedule.
•Includes a lullaby from Dr. Weissbluth’s “Sweet Baby” album as well as links to all other Weissbluth Method websites and resources. .
Twin/triplet compatible! ***to add a twin or triplet, just flick the main screen down***
Rest is vital to your child’s health, growth, and development. The Weissbluth Method Infant Nap App will create these healthy habits.
