Sleep Shop with Dr. Aubrie DeBear

Start with a peaceful palette

“Use soothing colors like soft blues, greens, or
neutral tones to create a tranquil atmosphere.”

Make it comfy for caregivers, too

“Invest in a comfortable rocking chair or recliner with
good back support for feeding and soothing your baby.”

GET READY FOR A BIG KID BED

“A toddler is usually ready to transition out of their crib
and into a toddler bed when they are around 3 years old
or have expressed a desire to sleep in a bed.”

Prep for the transition

“Prep your toddler by talking about sleeping in the “big kid”
bed a few days ahead of time. And be sure to keep their
bedtime routine consistent when you make the swap.”

Create a focus zone

“A cozy space where big kids can wind down and feel
independent is so important. A personal workspace can really
give them a sense of ownership over their space.”

CLEAR AWAY CLUTTER

“Create a calm environment for sleeping. Adding storage
solutions helps keep things tidy and reduces distractions.”
