What is it about our obsession with our babies' sleep? At some point or another, we all do this!
In this blog I explore why we obsess over our baby's sleep and the ways we can keep our obsession in check! Guiding you to find balance without the stress of unrealistic expectations, to trust your instincts and to prioritise your well-being.

Ah, the comparison game. Come on, we ALL do this! It's a trap many of us fall into, in pretty much all aspects of our lives, especially in the realm of parenting. And when it comes to baby sleep, this couldn’t be more true!

This blog looks at the common trap of comparing and offers practical tips to focus on your unique parenting journey. Learn how to trust your instincts, stay true to your values, and celebrate the small victories along the way.

Does your little one only want you doing bedtime and if your partner so much as steps into the room all hell breaks loose? Or reject their bedtime milk if you’re not the one giving it to them?

While this behaviour is completely normal during the early years, knowing that doesn’t always provide comfort to the parent on the receiving end of the rejection!

This blog will help you prepare your child for changes, involve your partner in caregiving, and how to keep the calm during transitions.

Deciding to move your baby into their own room is a significant step for both of you. While practical reasons like outgrowing their current sleep space might prompt the change, it's crucial to ensure it's the right time for your family. There’s no universal ‘right’ time for this transition—trust your instincts and move when you and your baby are ready.

This blog covers everything you need to know about this transition, including assessing your reasons for the move, practical tips for preparing the new room, and advice on how to make the cot a familiar and comforting space for your baby. We also explore the emotional aspects for both you and your little one and offer strategies for gradual transitions.

The age-old question that has been asked by parents for millennia: "When will my baby sleep through the night?" It's a universal struggle that every parent can relate to.

Navigating this time is more than just tricky; it’s exhausting! What makes it even harder are the common misconceptions and sleep myths that often get tangled up with the developmental norms for babies. Influences from the media, your social circle, and non-evidence-based advice from professionals can further complicate these expectations.

Separation anxiety is a normal developmental stage in babies characterised by a strong emotional reaction when separated from their primary caregiver—you! It typically emerges around 6 to 8 months of age and can peak between 10 to 18 months, though it can occur earlier or later in some babies.

In this blog I delve into signs of separation anxiety, how you can help your baby and ways to manage sleep issues during this challenging time.

It's natural for everyone to stir at the end of a sleep cycle. It’s just as adults we have the ability to sort ourselves out - get a drink, go for a wee, rearrange the duvet. Babies of course find this tricky. However there are some babies who undoubtedly are able at times to settle themselves back to sleep.

Is your baby a self -soother or a signaller?

You know that day is on the horizon and moving ever closer. The day when your toddler stops napping and that little slice of downtime for you disappears for good. But must it truly be that way?

Before you resign yourself to mourning the loss of naptime, read on!

Around the 15 to 18-month mark, most babies begin transitioning from two naps to one. However, every child is unique, and there may be outliers.

In this blog I offer valuable insights into recognising signs of readiness for your little one to drop to one nap, adjusting nap schedules, and establishing a new routine that works for both you and your little one.

Moving from three naps to two, or from two naps to one, can feel like stepping into the unknown sometimes, with more questions than answers!  Which nap should we drop first? When is the right time to make the change? How do we even begin? It's a whole heap of decisions, and like pretty much everything else to do with raising babies, no one way is the answer for all. 

Here is my rough guide to the 3 to 2 naps transition (and when I say rough, I mean rough!)

Engaging in a contact nap is often considered one of the most wonderful ways to connect with our little ones. This practice is entirely natural, a tradition that humans have embraced for thousands of years.

If you're contemplating a shift from contact napping to cot napping, it's crucial to assess your motivations and ensure it aligns with your and your baby's needs.

If you’ve decided that now is the perfect time to stop contact napping, then this can be done in a gentle and responsive way.
