  1. 7 Benefits babies and children thrive on a routine

    7 Benefits babies and children thrive on a routine

    Many parents don't want to have routine or a strict schedule because they don't like to feel chained to following it every day and some mums feel a little stressed thinking “gosh if baby needs to nap at 10am what happens if they don't, it's more relaxed to just go with the flow…we prefer to follow baby's cues...” While it is easier sometimes to go with the flow because of the sense of freedom, many babies struggle with that. And those struggles are displayed in disturbed nights, erratic and short naps and a cranky child day to day.  In today's podcast I want I explain why routines benefit all the family, not just your child and hopefully you will take away some positives from it and who knows maybe you may try getting into a little routine and find it works and you have a baby that takes great solid naps and no more cranky toddler!  I would love for you to share this podcast with all your parent friends and let them know I am here to help you with my podcasts and more!

  3. My 3 favorite swaddles

    My 3 favorite swaddles

    I often hear parents report that their baby is like Houdini and performs the most amazing escape act and they just don’t seem to like the swaddle so they stop using it, after many attempts and purchasing many different brands. My take on this is that often those swaddles are either not the right size or more often have not been wrapped correctly. If your baby can get out of it then it was too loose. Now I will caveat that by saying it cant be too tight and legs need to be free to lay in the “froggy” position” to avoid hip dysplasia. In this weeks bite sized podcast I share my favorite swaddles and why!

    Managing toddler sleep regressions

    It may feel like you have been in a sleep deprived funk for 2 years and here we go again, your toddler is protesting at bedtime, stalling at every opportunity and then waking in the night calling, shouting “mummy, daddy” and not only that, they are ready for the day at 5am.  If any or all of this sounds familiar to you, then stick around as I am going to be explaining why this is all happening and give you solutions that work for my 1-1 clients every time so bedtimes are easy, everyone actually looks forward to it because it is a calmer, more enjoyable experience and they are not starting their days at 5am. When can it occur? Hang on to your hats guys because this may happen as early as 15 months. So grab your ear pods and listen to this weeks podcast where I explain all about managing these sleep hurdles and tips to make it all easier for you!

  7. How to sleep train without Cry It Out

    How to sleep train without Cry It Out

    No one wants to hear a baby cry least of all their parents so when it comes to sleep training many parents fear it, say it's not for them, think it is filled with forcing a baby to do something they just can't do and will cry endlessly. I am here to tell you something different in this weeks podcast. It is not any of this at all. Now I will caveat that with saying infants (0-5 months it is a different story. This age sleep needs to be supported and I do not do any sort of formal sleep training until 5 months)  Teaching your baby the skill of falling asleep independently will be gold dust because this is a skill that we all need into adulthood. Yes, there are unicorn babies out there that have no issues at all and many need some help. Other need help. They need to be supported and guided and in this weeks podcast I explain how you can do this without using the term known as cry it out.
