Contact Naps to Independent Sleeps: How you can transition and find more you time while bub naps 🤱 👉🏼First, let’s dive into why contact sleep is perfectly normal and why your baby might thrive best when snuggled up with you. The short answer is that you’re their ultimate comfort zone—a place of safety, warmth, and love. From an evolutionary standpoint, babies are born reliant on caregivers for survival, so making close contact is essential, especially during sleep. But is contact sleep a bad habit? 🤔 Far from it! It’s a natural inclination rooted in biology and attachment needs. ✨ Understanding this can alleviate feelings of guilt or failure when seeking to transition to independent sleep. So, how do you gently transition if needed? Here are some tips: 1️⃣ Know your why: Ensure the decision to transition is driven by your needs and not external pressures. Confidence and calmness are key. 2️⃣ Create a comfortable sleep space: Make their sleep environment cosy and familiar. Spend time playing in their sleep area and use familiar scents for reassurance. 3️⃣ Start small: Begin with the easiest nap or part of the night and gradually build from there. Baby steps make the transition smoother. 4️⃣ Nail the transfer: Master the art of transferring your baby to their sleep space gently. Pay attention to their sleep cues and use settling-to-sleep techniques to ease the transition. Remember to understand that the transition may come with some challenges. Trust your instincts and prioritise what feels right for you and your baby. 💕 How are you doing with contact naps? 🥰 or 😵💫?! #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum
When is the best time to start a bedtime routine? Are you struggling to establish a consistent bedtime routine for your little one and time it well so they don’t get overtired? I get it! Parenting can be challenging, especially when it comes to ensuring our babies get the sleep they need to thrive and finding our downtime as tired parents (we need to thrive too!)✨ But did you know that a well-timed bedtime routine can make a world of difference in your baby’s sleep patterns? It true! Take an 8-month-old baby transitioning from 3 to 2 naps, for example. The awake time between those naps and right before bedtime creates sleep pressure and the drive to fall asleep. Unfortunately, if your baby has been awake for longer than their little body can handle, it causes them to be overtired and makes it hard for them to fall and stay asleep at bedtime. This is because of cortisol, also known as the “stress” or “alert” hormone. It begins to rise as soon as your baby hits the awake-time threshold. 🚨 So when should you start your baby’s bedtime routine? Establishing consistent timing for your bedtime routine will help give your baby’s internal body clock a gentle nudge in the right direction. 👍 Aim for starting the routine about 30 minutes before bedtime, aligning with your baby’s natural sleep cues. Remember, every baby is different, so adjust the duration of this pre-sleep routine based on your little one’s age. Older babies may need more time to feel calm and ready for sleep; it’s okay if they need some extra play time too. 😝 PS - If you’re ready to beat those bedtime battles for good then comment or DM me to learn more about sleep support for you and your little one without resorting to any CIO biz. 🫶🏼 Kat x #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #aussiemums #sleepybabies #parentinghelp #parentingsupport #sleepconsulting #safesleep #babysleeptips #babysleepexpert #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #sleepregression #babysleep #sleepconsulting #parentingsupport #aussiemum #aussiekids #goldcoastmums #perthmum #ohheymamas #mumsinbusiness #mumswithhustle #perthmumsandbubs #perthfamily #perthbaby #perthmumtribe #mummasofperth
Are you up in the night finding your little ones dummy? Because it’s fallen out of the cot or they don’t know where to find it? 🔎 Waking up regularly in the night to find and and replace a dummy is pretty tiring 🥱. Here are some quick tips to help to: ...stop the dummies from falling out of the cot ...to make finding the dummy easier for your little one ...plus extra tips to teach your little one how to find and replace the dummy themselves which works really well for lot’s of bubs once around 7/8 months 🌙 Use a comforter or sleep teddy that has a dummy loop or knot on it so that you can attach a spare. During awake time you can practice finding the spare dummy by having some play time in the cot and showing your little one where it is located on the comforter. Super helpful to let your little one practice putting it in themselves too – this will help them to know how to find it and replace it in the night. 🌙 Scatter several dummies in the cot – this way you’ve got more chance of at least one dummy remaining in the cot (unless you have a dummy thrower). 🌙 Purchase a glow in the dark dummy – easier for your little one to find it. 🌙 We don’t recommend using products like dummy chains or cot bumpers as they aren’t considered safe for sleeping. If you want to read our steps on teaching your little one how to find and replace their dummy, comment below with a ♥ and we will send you our FREE ✨ step by step ✨ guide.
Does your baby's room have light peeking through the door frame? 🚪 Here's my sleep environment hack to get the room nice and dark without fancy baby sleep gadgets. All you are going to need is one thing... A dark single fitted sheet. ⬛ Place the sheet around the door (if you have a larger than the standard door, you may need to use a bigger sheet) Sometimes you will need to play around with getting it around the corners just right, but it's so worth the payoff. You'll be amazed how dark this will get your baby's sleep environment. I used a single dark, fitted sheet on Billy's door until he was 2 years old because his room was in such a bright area of our home. 💡 Plus… Billy also had cardboard on his windows and he now only has a small blanket over his window… You honestly don’t need every single fancy gadget to make sleep environments perfect for sleep. 💗 #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #aussiemums #sleepybabies #parentinghelp #parentingsupport #sleepconsulting #safesleep #babysleeptips #babysleepexpert #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #sleepregression #babysleep #sleepconsulting #parentingsupport #aussiemum #aussiekids #goldcoastmums #perthmum #ohheymamas #mumsinbusiness #mumswithhustle #perthmumsandbubs #perthfamily #perthbaby #perthmumtribe #mummasofperth

Today we're chatting naps and, importantly, HOW to drop one when the time's right (there's a right time and a not-so-right time) Let's start with a rough age guide to nap ratio: 🍼 Newborns – 4/5 naps In the newborn phase, your baby will have fragmented and disorganised sleep 🍼 4 to 7/8 months – 3 naps Your baby should start to consolidate their sleep into 3 structured naps 🍼 9 to 14 months – 2 naps It's around here you'll drop to 2 naps, dropping the last nap between 4-5pm in preparation for a BIG SLEEP 🍼 15-18 months – 1 nap Try dropping the first-morning nap and have one long consolidated sleep around lunchtime 🍼 2.5 to 3 years – NAP-FREE! Your bub will likely drop their mid-day nap around this time. I'd recommend some quiet time at lunchtime to help them unwind Do you think your baby's ready to drop a nap? … Not sure? Trust your instincts! 💗 Here are some signs to look out for: 😭 Resisting naps 😭 Consistent early wakes 😭 Night wakes 😭 Bedtime is getting later How to drop a nap: Gradually cut the nap right back until it's only 10-15 minutes long before dropping it completely OR if you're brave, go cold turkey and cut it out completely. Always bring bedtime forward to compensate for the longer awake time and combat over-tiredness at bedtime.💗 #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum
Sleeping through the night 🌙 ....... the meaning of this is often misunderstood??? We want to fill you in on a not so secret, secret 🤫 We don’t really use the term ‘sleeping through the night’ with our clients. Because NO ONE sleeps through the night 😲 Not me. Not you. And not your baby or toddler. Say whattttttttt???? We sleep in sleep cycles and at the end of each cycle we wake up before beginning a new sleep cycle – we don’t sleep 11-12 hours straight without waking. We all wake throughout the night but many of our awakenings are for such a short moment in time that we don’t even know we have done it. Other times we rouse more and then we have to put ourselves back to sleep again from a more awake state which takes a bit more effort. As to whether a baby can “sleep through the night” what is really being asked is “could my baby sleep all night and return to sleep into another sleep cycle on their own”. They might... depending on this 👇 🌝 Baby’s age? 🌝 Baby’s growth? 🌝 Whether or not your baby still has / needs milk overnight? 🌝 Is the room conducive to quality sleep? 🌝 Does your baby have the right foundations in place to support long stretches of sound sleep? 🌝 Are there any negative forces having an effect on the quality of night sleep? 🌝 Does your baby know how to fall asleep and return to sleep? 🌝 Is it YOUR goal to have your baby sleeping without the need for much support throughout the night and is the goal realistic? But even when you might think they have slept through without ever waking... they haven’t. They might have transitioned into another cycle super seamlessly or you might have just not heard or noticed them awake when moving between one cycle to another. Remember those nights where you toss and turn a bit more and sometimes are awake a little longer before returning to sleep, kids do this too, we all do. Follow along @slumberandsprout for more practical, rubbish free, tips 😍

The four-month sleep regression is the first of 5 regressions in your little one's sleep over the first couple of years. Unlike other sleep regressions, which pass with time, this regression does not go away. This is because the four-month regression is about a neurologically permanent change in your baby's sleep patterns. It's the transition from disorganised newborn sleep to more predictable sleep cycles. So it's really normal to see your baby wake up more often now. 😴 Your baby will now come to a distinct ending to each of their sleep cycles. This can look like waking every 2 hours overnight and every 45 minutes during the day. At the end of each cycle, we partially wake - adults and babies. Your baby will begin to awaken at the end of each sleep cycle, check in with their environment, and ensure everything is still the same as when they first started the sleep. If things are different from the start of when your baby fell asleep, it's more likely your baby will generally completely wake and cry out for your help, looking for the same level of support they had at the beginning of their previous sleep cycle. Because your baby is sleeping in these newly matured patterns, it's the perfect time to layer in some sleep foundations to encourage longer stretches of sleep day and night. But please don't stress if your baby does not fall asleep in their cot on their own just yet or can resettle themselves back to sleep; it takes time. It's important to remember that your baby may still need a feed or two overnight at this young age AND it's normal to see your baby wake, come to the end of a sleep cycle, check in with their sleep environment and either need help to resettle or drift back off for more zzzs. 😴 #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia

Sleep regressions don't exist. ❌ Yeah, okay... but they kinda do. A sleep regression (or progression, whatever you like to call it) is when your baby has been sleeping well and suddenly has a few bumps in the road and hiccups. 😭 Sleep regressions generally last up to 2-6 weeks - depending on your baby and their developmental stage. Most of the time, it's because of development and the need to practice skills, have longer awake times, reduce sleep and adjust to their new milestones. Your baby may not go through EVERY SINGLE sleep regression, but when they do, you'll notice the impacts on their sleep. 😴 If your baby has not always been a solid sleeper and it’s felt like a struggle most of the time, chances are you’re not deep in a regression but more so needing to look at your baby’s sleep foundations to help support less stressful sleep times. #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum

Daytime sleep cycles are around 45 minutes long after your baby goes through the four-month sleep regression. By the 45-minute mark, your baby will either wake and need help to resettle or hopefully be able to settle into another sleep cycle. We can expect to hear our babies stir as they transition between sleep cycles. When a baby wakes up from a sleep cycle, they may not be able to get back to sleep without your help or a missing sleep association. 😴 There are two types of sleep in your baby's sleep cycle: non-rapid eye movement sleep and rapid eye movement sleep (Non-REM and REM sleep). Non-REM sleep is very restful, deep and restorative sleep. There is little movement, deep breathing, and a slow heart rate. 💗 REM sleep occurs after the non-REM sleeping period. REM sleep is an active stage of your baby's sleep cycle. The heart rate quickens, breathing becomes lighter and quicker, eye movements are rapid, and brain blood flow increases. During this period, the dream process occurs, and it's here that babies form and move memories from short-term to long-term and process their learning (pretty amazing right?!) #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #aussiemums #sleepybabies #parentinghelp #parentingsupport #sleepconsulting #safesleep #babysleeptips #babysleepexpert #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #sleepregression #babysleep #sleepconsulting #parentingsupport #aussiemum #aussiekids #goldcoastmums #perthmum #ohheymamas #mumsinbusiness #mumswithhustle #perthmumsandbubs #perthfamily #perthbaby #perthmumtribe #mummasofperth

How do I help parents get their babies to sleep when it's felt like a *pear-shaped* day in three steps? Step one, ask yourself this question... 🤔 Step one: Do I want to move to an assisted nap? 😴 If you answered yes, move to step two... If you answered no, continue your approach and remember to breathe. Step two: Decide how you would like to do the assisted nap. Is it in your arms, feeding to sleep, rocking to sleep, bouncing to sleep, driving in the car, walking with the pram, or putting Bub in the baby carrier? 🍼 Step three: Give yourself grace. There are plenty of pear-shaped days out there, and they 100% test us as parents, maybe even causing us to shed a few tears. BUT... here's your permission slip to give yourself gentle grace... because there are no bad ways to help your baby drift off to sleep. #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum
A common misconception I hear is: “Sleep training” is about using cry-it-out and strict schedules. 😭 For some parents, sleep training means this... BUT... Here at The Sleeping Co, "sleep training" is about establishing your baby's sleep foundations. Sleep foundations are kind of like a house... A sleep house... and just like any other house, it needs supportive foundations. 🏡 Sleep foundations is about figuring out what brick and mortar your baby needs to support their house and support more restful sleep, happier bubs and calmer parents. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We are so different from each other, naturally. I'm different from you, and your baby is different to mine. So my job as a gentle baby sleep consultant is to find YOUR baby's little differences and guide you with the steps to establish their sleep foundations in a way that suits your parenting style and family dynamics. 🤗 Think about it like this - we are going to be optimising your baby's day and night, looking at environments, wind-down rituals, using the science of sleep to influence sleepy times and nap lengths, calories from milk and solids, and settling to sleep with loads of support and in a way that encourages rest and less stress for parents and babies. So there you have it... The sleep foundations to your baby's sleep house are how I think of "sleep training". 😴 ❌ No crying it out ❌ No leaving the room for timed intervals ❌ No strict schedules Instead, we are finding ways to help you navigate your baby's sleep with an approach that feels right to you and Bub. Are you ready to build your baby's sleep house? 🏡 #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #aussiemums #sleepybabies #parentinghelp #parentingsupport #sleepconsulting #safesleep #babysleeptips #babysleepexpert #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #sleepregression #babysleep #sleepconsulting #parentingsupport #aussiemum #aussiekids #goldcoastmums #perthmum #ohheymamas #mumsinbusiness #mumswithhustle #perthmumsandbubs #perthfamily #perthbaby #perthmumtribe #mummasofperth
Here’s some tips to help with extending your baby’s awake times. They are ready, if: 💜 Baby is a month older 💜 Baby isn’t showing sleep cues when they usually would 💜 Baby is taking longer to fall asleep 💜 Baby has started taking shorter naps but wakes happy 💜 Baby is resisting bedtime They aren’t ready, if: 💜 Baby is a month older 💜 Baby’s tired signs are still present at the same awake times as last month 💜 Baby is still settling to sleep happily at their current times 💜 Baby took a short nap when you tried to extend awake time and woke upset 💜 Baby woke within the first couple of hours of going to bed when you tried to extend awake time Awake time includes any time baby is awake, including feeding and wind-down time between one sleep to the next. As our little cherubs get older their awake times grow too 🌱 But how do we know when it’s time to increase their awake time? Check our yes and no lists above 👆 Increasing your LO’s awake time needs to happen when they are ready and not just because they are a month older. If we shift a LO’s awake time too early we can see all sorts of issues. Aside from them being cranky and upset it can really interfere with naps (ease of settles and duration) as well as night sleep (ease of settles, quality and length). 😴 If your baby is doing just fine on their current awake window and sleeping just as well as they usually would then you don’t need to increase their awake windows just yet. If your baby seems to have more energy during the end of their current awake time, isn’t displaying typical cues, is resisting sleep or not sleeping as well then it’s time to increase awake time. If you are finding yourself in the “yes it might be time” scenarios for a repeated number of days then try increasing your LO’s awake time. It is okay to start small in 5/10 minute increases just to make sure your LO can tolerate the extra time. 👌 Remember there are no rules.

Is your little one having a split night? 🥱 Commonly split nights are caused by a scheduling issue. Things like: 🌙 Too much or not enough day sleep 🌙 Too much or too little awake time before bed Here’s some tips to nail the awake times between last nap and bedtime 👇 You’ll notice with awake windows there is a LOW – MAX range. If your little one is awake for long periods in the night and you are using the MAX end of their awake range, drop their awake time back. The awake length between waking from the last nap and going to bed for the night may vary from day to day and it’s really going to depend on how well your little one slept that afternoon. We’ve put together a few scenarios where a lower awake time may be more appropriate than the higher window and vice versa. 🌙 If your little one only slept for a single cycle of sleep or less for their last nap it’s likely they will be ready for bed at the lower end of their awake time. 🌙 If your little one took a longer sleep of around an hour or more for their last nap they may need the mid-max awake length before bedtime 🌙 If your little one had their last nap in the car it’s likely they won’t handle the max awake time before bed as motion naps aren’t as restorative as sleeping in the cot. 🌙 If your little one is showing obvious tired signs that they are ready for bed before the max awake time then it’s best to take their lead and not hold them out for bed. Rarely does holding a little one out for bed result in better or more night sleep. 🌙 For toddlers on one nap. Often they can handle more awake time in the morning (max range) but only the lower end of awake time before bedtime. Our awake times and sleep needs tables can be found on our feed ✨ Need more help?

Do you struggle with getting the timing right with your little ones sleep? 😴 Wondering if they are OVERTIRED or UNDER TIRED when trying to settle them? 😕 This is such a confusing topic but we are going to make it as simple as possible. Because as confusing as it can be TIMING IS IMPORTANT. Timing does matter and we have seen over and over again just how much settles and sleep can be impacted when the timing wasn’t quite right. To help you we’ve popped some things to look out for in the case that your little one is fighting settles and not sleeping well during the day or at night. To avoid an OVERTIRED little one: 🌙 Aim to not exceed age appropriate awake times but bear in mind that not all little ones can handle the highest range of awake time for their age group. 🌙 As a general rule a baby can usually only handle their maximum awake window where their previous sleep was a “restorative nap” by restorative we mean over an hour. For naps less than an hour we often see little ones ready to sleep again at the low – mid range of awake time. For naps over an hour little ones may handle the mid to max range of awake time before needing to sleep again. 🌙 To help with timing - look for tired signs during awake time. Is your baby displaying any of the typical tired cues before the max awake time? Tired cues can be found in our feed. To avoid an UNDER TIRED little one: ⭐Sometimes we over compensate and on days where a little one is having a bad nap day we can worry and keep putting them down at the lower end of their awake time or even less to try and “make up” for sleep. If your little one doesn’t have enough sleep pressure though they will fight sleep and not sleep as well. ⭐If you are putting your baby down at the lower end of their awake window and you are seeing any of the under tired signs listed above then try extend their awake window. You have a range of awake time to experiment with so start off with a 10 minute adjustment and trial from there. Share these tips with another parent 🤍

Dealing with early wakes can be challenging and resolving early wakes between 5:00 - 6:00 am requires time and patience while improving sleep with a good strategy and plan that keeps you sane! Here are some common culprits behind those early morning wake-ups: 🌞 Light streaming into the room ❄️ Feeling too chilly ⏰ Bedtime creeping too late, leading to overtiredness 🌅 First nap of the day happening too soon 😴 Daytime sleep patterns – too much or too little 🛌 Reinforcing early wakes with your presence 🍼 Hunger If your little one tends to rise with the sun a tad too early, here's a solution: 🌅 Try slipping in a 15-minute assisted bridging nap between 7:00 am and 7:30 am to help bridge the gap until their first official nap. For older babies (8+ months), aim to nudge their morning routine closer to that first nap time without shifting the entire day forward.

Lunch Nap Checklist for Babies and Toddlers Let's chat about that midday snooze your little one needs to get rested and not become overtired for the rest of the day. The daunting feeling of achieving this nap doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here's your Lunch Nap Checklist with 7 tips to ensure a smooth naptime: ✨ Timing: Is the morning nap ending at the right time? Monitor nap duration to avoid interfering with the lunch nap. If it is longer than 60 to 90 minutes, consider shortening the morning nap. ✨ Awake time: Is the lunch nap falling within your baby's optimal awake time? ✨ Sleep environment: Create a sleep-worthy nap space for your baby to encourage restful sleep. Think dark, white noise and a sleeping bag. ✨ Feeding: Offer a full milk feed and solids depending on your little one’s age and development stage before the nap to ensure a comfortable and full tummy. ✨ Settling Time: Allocate 30 minutes for settling. If sleep doesn't come, try a 30-minute assisted nap before moving forward. ✨ Resettling Options: Choose the approach that works best for you and your baby, whether it's sticking with your settling method, offering a feed, or opting for a contact nap. ✨ Adjustments: Consider adjusting the next nap or bedtime if needed based on early waking. Bring forward the next nap or bedtime. If it's close to the end of the nap, consider skipping the resettle attempt. Double tap ❤️ if you're mastering the lunch nap!

You don’t have to suffer through those teething sleepless nights. 😴 Teething can be a rollercoaster ride for both babies and parents. And there are plenty of strategies to help ease your little one's discomfort and promote better sleep during this phase. If you've been awaiting your baby's tooth but it hasn't made an appearance yet, keep a lookout for that tiny tooth ready to emerge, as it could cause sleep disruption for the next 24-72 hours. Remember, while teething can be challenging, it's only a passing phase. Here are some effective tips to navigate through teething: 🦷 Teething chew toys: Introduce safe teething chew toys for your baby to gnaw on. For added relief, chill them in the freezer before use to soothe tender gums. 🦷 Gentle gum massage: Give your baby's gums some relief by gently massaging them with your fingers. The gentle pressure can help alleviate discomfort and provide comfort. 🦷 Extra cuddles: Sometimes, all your baby needs is extra cuddles and reassurance during teething. Embrace the opportunity for bonding and provide comfort through physical touch. 🦷 Soothe with barrier cream: Excessive drooling can lead to skin irritation around the mouth and chin. Apply a gentle barrier cream to soothe sore skin and protect against irritation. 🦷 Pain relief medication: If your baby is in significant discomfort, consult a healthcare professional for suitable pain relief options. Ensure to follow dosage instructions carefully and seek guidance if needed. 🦷 Nappy-free time: Teething can sometimes disrupt bowel movements, increasing the risk of nappy rash. Give your baby some nappy-free time to allow their skin to breathe and prevent irritation.

Curious if your little one's morning nap can be adjusted to set the day up for great napping? Let's go through a quick checklist: ⏰ Timing: Is your baby napping too early in the morning or for longer than 1.5 hours? 🕐 Awake time: Is the morning nap fitting well within your baby's awake time? 💤 Sleep environment: Ensure your baby's nap space is dark and conducive to sleep with sleep associations such as white noise and a sleeping bag layered in. 🧸 Settling strategies: How long are you trying your settling method? Adjust to match the desired nap length. If unsuccessful, consider a 15-minute assisted nap in your arms before trying something else or abandoning the nap. Waking Up Too Soon? No problem! Adjust the nap schedule by moving the lunch nap earlier based on the waking time. For older toddlers, they might smoothly transition to the lunch nap without needing changes.

Navigating your little one's sleepwear during fluctuating temperatures can be a challenge, especially during these hot Australian nights. 🌞🔥 Dressing your little one appropriately for the entire night is definitely key to help avoid waking in the cooler part of the night from being too cold ❄ Here are some signs they might be feeling chilly: ⭐ Restlessness and rolling all around the cot ⭐ Bumping into the cot sides ⭐ Arms and legs poking through the rails ⭐ Uneasy sleep patterns ⭐ Tucking hands under the tummy trying to find a warm spot ⭐ Frequent waking around 4/5 am To best gauge their comfort, feel the back of their neck or chest rather than relying on chilly cheeks or hands. If your little one feels neutral or cool they are on the cooler side. Since temps tend to dip lowest around 4/5 am, preparing for this chill is the best approach. Here's how to handle the bedtime warmth contrasting with cooler nighttime temperatures: 🌙 Dress them for the chilliest part of the night. If you're concerned about overdressing and it’s too hot at bedtime: 🌙 Layer them for the coldest part of the night but keep the room cool with a fan or AC until you retire for the night or on a timer if you can. 🌙 Or; opt for lighter clothing initially, then adjust with room heating if necessary (especially for rooms dropping below 21/22 degrees). 🌙 Or; if your little one still wakes for a night feed dress them in a lighter sleeping bag at bedtime and swap the bag over before or after your night feed When choosing what to wear, follow the guidelines provided based on room temperature, but remember they're just a starting point. Trial and error, along with monitoring sleep and warmth, will help you find the perfect balance. Share these tips with a friend to help them navigate these tricky bedtime temperature shifts! 🌙🌟
Navigating the 4-Month Sleep Regression 😴 Around the four-month mark (some even as early as 12 weeks), babies often experience a significant sleep regression. This phase marks a transition from disorganised and unpredictable newborn sleep to more regular infant sleep cycles. ✨ The neurological maturation of sleep cycles during this period can lead to increased wakefulness, short naps, more night wakes, and settling difficulties. To help both you and your little one sail through this regression, here are three practical tips: 💗 Establish a Consistent Bedtime Routine: Create a calming routine to signal bedtime consistency. 💗 Encourage Self-Settling Opportunities: Allow your baby opportunities to learn self-settling techniques. 💗 Provide a Sleep-Conducive Environment: Ensure the sleep space is comfortable and conducive to rest. These tips serve as a starting point to help your baby adapt to changing sleep patterns and get the rest they need to thrive. Sleep regressions can be challenging for both babies and parents. If you're stuck in the trenches of zero sleep because of a regression, deep breath. You CAN help your little one get back to sleeping well. My Sleep Essentials Program is here to guide you with a detailed, step-by-step plan for bringing more sleep to the whole family. 🤗 Comment ‘FORTY WINKS’ and I'll send you the link to check out my Baby Sleep Essentials Program.

Will my baby only be able to sleep in the dark if I start sleeping them in a pitch-dark room for all sleep? Answer: Let me ease your nerves because this won't be the case. By providing your baby with an optimal sleep environment, we can work on their sleep foundations and achieve restorative sleep, which will help them sleep in different environments in the future. 4 things you need to offer to your baby to achieve independent sleep ✨ Optimal sleep environment ✨ Age-appropriate awake windows ✨ Commitment and consistency ✨ Offer an independent nap before using your settling method to see if they put themselves to sleep. A lot of the time, we don't offer our babies the opportunity to put themselves to sleep and try to self-settle. If you feel brave, I would offer some independent sleep for every sleep (except the third nap). Put them down in their cot, walk out of the room, pause and see what they do! They may not do it the first time, but they will improve as we offer this more and more. If this just feels too much for you, please don't feel any pressure to do it; just go ahead with your settling method. 🤗 #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum

What exactly qualifies as a short nap for a baby? Generally, anything lasting less than 45-30 minutes falls into this category, especially if you aim for a 1-2-hour nap. But when you follow a structured nap routine alternating between short and long naps, the first nap of the day (generally limited to 30 minutes) and the last nap (the intentional catnap) get a free pass on being short. 😴 6 reasons why your cheeky bub takes short naps: 💤 Overtiredness 💤 Undertiredness 💤 Developmental changes around 3-4 months old 💤 Poor sleep environments 💤 Hunger 💤 Illness, sickness, reflux and tummy discomfort 📌 Save this post for the future #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #aussiemums #sleepybabies #parentinghelp #parentingsupport #sleepconsulting #safesleep #babysleeptips #babysleepexpert #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #sleepregression #babysleep #sleepconsulting #parentingsupport #aussiemum #aussiekids #goldcoastmums #perthmum #ohheymamas #mumsinbusiness #mumswithhustle #perthmumsandbubs #perthfamily #perthbaby #perthmumtribe #mummasofperth

Ever wondered why your baby wakes up at the crack of dawn? Early wakes are considered any time between 5:00 - 6:00 am and the reasons for these wakes can range from: 🍼 Light coming into the room 🍼 Coldness at that time of the morning 🍼 Their bedtime is too late, causing them to be overtired 🍼 The first nap of the day is happening too early 🍼 Getting too much or too little day sleep 🍼 You may not be giving them enough time to resettle themselves back to sleep 🍼 Hunger 🍼 And, of course, the notorious influence of birds (IYKYK). Did you know there is a simple solution to fixing these early rises? If your little one decides to wake up at 5 am, the simple solution to starting the day with success is treating it as if they had woken up at 2 am, choose your ideal wake-up time and stick with your chosen settling method until then. It might feel intense and challenging in the short term, but the results will be worth it. Remember that giving them some space is okay if your little one is fussing but not in full cry mode. They might just need a little resettling time due to the low sleep pressure here. Having a plan in place for those mornings when your little one doesn't quite want to hit the snooze button will save you from feeling like the day is already off track. Resolving early rising can take about 1-3 weeks of being consistent with your adjustments and tweaks. Early rising can be *soooooo* frustrating. This is why it helps to focus on sleep schedules and foundations to combat these early morning wakes and win the long-term game of overall great sleep. 💗 #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum

While dummies can calm babies and extend their Zs, there's a downside as they grow older. Midnight dummy replacements might become a nightly routine, and disruptions can occur if your baby wakes up seeking it mid-nap or during the night. 😴 From around 6 months, teaching your baby to find and replace their dummy becomes an achievable goal with practice and consistency. However, consistency may only come around 8 months. For babies younger than 6 months, an alternative is to ditch the dummy and focus on helping your little one self-settle without it. 💤 Remember, dummies can offer comfort and a sense of security, especially in the early months, but if you’re ready to get rid of it there are lots of hands-on settle methods to use to get them to sleep without the dummy. #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum

Establishing a bedtime routine for your little one is a surefire way to help them relax into night sleep without all the tears and sleep well overnight. ✨ Here's a simple guide for establishing a calming bedtime routine: 1. Begin the wind-down 30 minutes before bedtime. Consistency helps sync with your baby's natural sleep cues and internal body clock. 🕰️ 2. Dim the lights to create a relaxed environment. If your little one prefers, slip them into a sleeping bag to avoid upset right before bed. 💡 3. Add gentle and winding down activities and rituals that create comforting cues for your baby to shift from playtime to sleep mode. 🤱 Every family needs a bedtime routine specific to their dynamic; embrace the little rituals that work for your baby and fam.

Q. When will I feel confident with my baby’s sleep? 🤔 A. Confidence doesn’t come from trying to stick to harsh step-by-step sleep schedules and unsolicited “you should…” parenting advice. Confidence comes from learning and having realistic expectations based on your baby’s age and temperament, ditching the pressure to be the Insta-perfect parent, putting your phone down and actually taking notice. And then? Learning how to respond to and support your baby, troubleshoot sleep issues when poop hits the fan and knowing what next (by going with the flow(charts)) … becomes a whole lot fluffin’ easier. It's easy to feel like you've tried EVERYTHING to improve your baby's sleep (and yours too!) The endless nights, the sleep schedules and wind down routines, the expert advice – it can feel like an uphill battle.😣 But here's the truth... Parenthood is an ever-evolving adventure, and so is your baby's sleep journey. Just when you think you've tried it all, there's another path to explore and another thing to try. You’ll be surprised by what you haven't tried yet. It could be a new sleep routine, a fresh perspective, or an unexpected strategy that transforms your baby's sleep. #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum

How to find the right awake time for your little one? As your baby grows, so does their need for awake time, which is staying awake longer and sleeping less during the day. 🕰️To find your baby's awake time to support good naps, first start with an age-appropriate awake time. Begin experimenting with this time throughout the day in between their naps. ➡️ For younger babies, experiment with 5-15 minutes on either side of that time. ➡️ For older babies and toddlers, the time to experiment might be 15-30 minutes on either side of the recommended age-appropriate awake time. If you need to stretch your little one’s awake time, gradually extend the time in 5-15 minute increments each day and adjust it to find the perfect balance for your baby’s specific needs. Experimenting with awake times? Comment TIME, and let's navigate this journey together! I'll send you a blog post for mastering your baby's naps and awake times. #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #aussiemums #sleepybabies #parentinghelp #parentingsupport #sleepconsulting #safesleep #babysleeptips #babysleepexpert #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #sleepregression #babysleep #sleepconsulting #parentingsupport #aussiemum #aussiekids #goldcoastmums #perthmum #ohheymamas #mumsinbusiness #mumswithhustle #perthmumsandbubs #perthfamily #perthbaby #perthmumtribe #mummasofperth

3 Tips to Darken Your Little One’s Room at Nap Time 1️⃣ Window: Cardboard, foil, or specialised blackout curtains are game-changers to keep unwanted light from creeping in. 🌑 2️⃣ LED Lights: Tame the glow of electronics with Blu Tack, a bandaid, or black tape to cover LED lights and create a dark sleep environment. 🖤 3️⃣ Doorways: If light sneaks under the door, drape a single fitted sheet over it – a simple yet effective way to keep the room in complete darkness! 🚪🌌 🌟 Nightlight Tips: Wondering when to introduce a nightlight? Around age three is perfect, especially if your little one is facing nighttime fears. Opt for warm tones like amber or red to avoid disrupting sleep. 📌 Save this post and get ready for a better nights sleep. #sleeptrainingconsultant #sleepconsultant #sleepingbabies #sleepybabies #childsleepconsultant #infantsleepconsultant #sleepconsultants #babysleepconsultant #healthysleep #babysleeping #mummasofperth #mumsperth #mumsbusinessperth #perthmumsinbusiness #perthmummyblogger #perthmumsandbubs #perthmummas #perthmumboss #perthmumwa #perthmumlife #perthfamily #mumsquad #mumsupportingmums #mumsofperth #aussiekids #smallbusinessaustralia #perthmums #perthkids #ohheymamas #perthmum
