Just cause I can….
My grandson ❤️❤️❤️

One of the questions I still get asked regularly is “Why does my baby ‘catnap’ during the day”?

The concern then comes that your baby isn’t getting “enough” sleep….💤
Answer…. Some babies only need 9 hours of sleep a day and some babies need 16 hours 🤯

If your baby is sleeping “well” at nighttime (and by that I’m talking 3-4 hour “blocks”) then 1-2 hourly in the day is perfectly “normal” 🙄 for your baby!!

If your baby is consistently 1-2 hours both night and day…. Then we need to talk more ❤️

I utilize the “Possums” approach (neuro protective development), no not “sleep training” but working with your babies natural sleep cycles and circadian rhythms ❤️❤️❤️

Pregnancy nutrition…..
Making sure that you are not only feeding your body but also your baby!

🤰Did you know that one of the main reasons babies/children develop allergies is because they didn’t get the exposure to foods in pregnancy?

🤱🏻 Probably the most common deficiency pregnant mums have is Iron, followed by Vitamin D.

👶 Did you know that if mum has low Vitamin D, then it’s highly likely that baby will as well (and they may need supplements after birth)?

Cravings are generally normal, tolerating only certain foods can also be normal.

Don’t worry if you are experiencing sickness (especially early pregnancy) and are unable to eat too much nutritious foods- eat what you can keep down 🤢

Once that has passed then make thing count to keep your body in peak condition for you and your baby ❤️
