The CALM Framework for gently building independent sleep — day and night — without losing connection along the way.
If contact naps and contact sleep have been working for your family, there's no rulebook saying you have to change a thing. But if you're ready for a little more space (and a little more sleep of your own), this guide walks you through exactly how — without sleep training, without separation, and without leaving your baby to figure it out alone.
This is our two most-requested guides, combined into one complete resource: everything I teach about moving on from contact sleep at night, using my CALM Framework (Consider, Arrange, Layer, Maintain), plus everything you need to know about how naps themselves shift and change along the way — because day sleep and night sleep are always talking to each other.
You'll get myth-busting, real readiness signs (for your baby and for you), a temperament-based approach so you can tailor the pace to your kid, and a full walkthrough of every nap transition from 4 naps down to none — all woven into one framework instead of two separate documents to piece together yourself.
What's inside:
The CALM Framework — four gentle phases from foundations through holding the change
Myth-busting on what "moving on" does and doesn't require
Signs of readiness for baby and for you, plus a temperament guide
"Know your why" + co-parent alignment exercises
Sleep space setup and a nervous-system regulation guide for you
Step-by-step layering plan for reducing contact, gradually
What to do when a nap won't happen, plus troubleshooting for common snags
Every nap transition explained (3→2, 2→1, last nap goodbye) with signs of readiness and how-tos
A guide to regressions, comparison, and knowing when you're "done"
