It’s ok to ask for help ♥️

You can’t pour from an empty cup. YOUR well being is SO important, and your little ones will benefit too 🥰

Look after yourself ♥️

Sleep Cues…

Do you look out for them?

Early ones are the best to look out for to get your little one down for there naps and bedtime with less fuss. If you always look for the late ones it could mean they are harder to settle.

Tell me in the comments what you signals you follow for your little one and what works for you ⬇️

6 Healthy Sleep Habits 💤

✨Use warm lighting if a night light is needed or if you are feeding in the night. This type of lighting keeps everything calm and not bright enough to stimulate them.
✨Black out blinds are an absolute saviour especially on those light mornings and evenings that we will soon start to see. They are helpful for naps at home aswell.
✨ Starting the day at the same time, this allows yours child’s body clock to get in sync. Their day becomes more predictable and really helps with naps and bedtime.
✨ Don’t skip naps if your child still has them. Obviously this sometimes happens for different reasons and that’s fine but where you can try and get the right amount of sleep in the day that appropriate for your child’s age.
✨Having their room at the optimal temp of 16-20 degrees and dressing them in the appropriate clothes and sleep wear can really help.
✨Introduce a comforter, really helpful for them feeling secure and safe whilst falling to sleep.

How can I help your child get better sleep and YOU!

✨FOUNDATIONS - Where it all begins, this is the key to your journey to better sleep. When these foundations are laid down properly there may be no need for formal sleep training.

✨ FORMAL SUPPORT - There may be some associations that need to be broken to help get better sleep, we can do this using gentle methods and as it’s not one size fits all we can use hybrid methods that will suit your child’s temperament and your parenting style.

CONSOLIDATE - Working out a sleep plan that’s best for you as a family, we do this as a team this is not me telling you what to do this is us working together and deciding the plan, then you will implement it with my support along the way.

✨ Newborns ✨

Newborns are not born with a circadian rhythm (internal body clock ⏰) or melatonin (our sleepy hormone 💤) These develop around 9-12 weeks. This often results in newborns not knowing the difference between day and night.

💡 Tips for day and night confusion.

☀️ Day

✨ Wake baby up roughly at the same time everyday, open the blinds/curtains and let lots of natural day light in.
✨ Expose babies to indirect sunlight. Going on walks and keeping the blinds/curtains open.
✨ Allow noise levels in the household to be normal. Babies can sleep through noise for the first few months. Allow siblings to play, or chat to friends or have the tv on in the background.
✨ Enjoy play time, interacting and chatting with your baby when awake.

🌙 Night
✨ Close blinds/curtains and have a dimly lit room.
✨ Introduce a simple bed time routine they will soon get use to. Bath, book, milk, sleeping bag or swaddle.
✨Introduce white noise to blockout any external sounds. This will become a positive sleep association.
