Join me as a I share a little about me on my very first podcast.

Knowing where to start with sleep training can feel impossible sometimes. I like to look at the big picture because naps can affect nights and nights affect naps. The better the naps are, the better the nights and vice-versa. Something I like to say all the time is that…

Early mornings can be brutal! We all know how it feels to get 1 less hour than we actually need. Maybe you get a irritable a little quicker than normal, maybe you drink more caffeine to fuel your body which can leads you down a rabbit whole on anxiety lane, and maybe just maybe you end up on a googling hiatus trying to figure out why your little one is doing this to you morning after morning after morning which has led you to this blog post.

Some babies are definitely bothered more by having wind stuck in their tummy, while others don’t seem to be affected by it much at all. It very well may be why you and your family have sleepless nights…

Bad sleep habits can happen to anyone; even a baby sleep consultant!

A diagnosis of colic comes when a baby cries for more than 3 hours a day with no obvious cause for the crying.

The 4 month sleep regression often looks like your baby struggling with sleep, even after establishing healthy sleep habits and routines. In this blog post, I’ll share what the 4 month sleep regression is, why it happens, and how you can help your baby through it

Having a sleep environment that is conducive to efficient settling and good sleep, is one of the easiest changes we can make to improve settling and sleep! There are several elements that are important when setting up a successful sleep environment.

Understanding each baby’s temperament and how it is important when deciding what settling techniques and approaches to sleep will best suit your baby. You want to use a technique and approach that will work with your baby’s temperament in order to see the most success.

Sleep associations are ‘things’ that your baby associates with falling asleep. These are good nor bad habits; they simply form part of the way in which your baby is used to settling off to sleep.

Reflux can appear as a result of an immature esophageal tract - the sphincter muscle at the bottom of the esophagus isn’t strong enough to hold the stomach contents down. This is most common, and usually resolves itself as your baby gets older, more mobile and stronger.

Keeping your baby safe is at the forefront of every parent’s mind, but unfortunately in this day and age, there are so many items for sale that are not safe. Some may be marketed in a way that makes you think it is safe, or intended for sleep, but come with small print warnings “to be used only while under supervision” or a “safer” statement.

A dummy is a brilliant tool for settling a newborn baby who just wants to suck. Sucking can be very soothing and calming for your baby, and a dummy can help give mum’s breasts a little break throughout the day.

Melatonin is a hormone that makes us feel sleepy. Its sole purpose is to help us know what time of day it is and what time of year it is. It is stimulated in the dark and is not a “simple process”. These times melatonin spikes are 9-10 am, 12-2 pm and 6-7 pm. That is why these times are great for nap times! At night, melatonin is at its peak around 2-4 am.
