❤️ Using positive self talk can help you cope when trying to calm your cranky baby.

❤️ If you have noise sensitivities we recommend wearing headphones or ear plugs to help you stay calm.

❤️ If you're worried there is a medical reason for your baby's crying, or you are struggling to cope with your baby's behaviour, seek support from your GP, health nurse, or paediatrician.

👉🏽 Be gentle on yourself. You are learning and so is your baby. It gets easier.

You might feel pressured to change how or where you settle your baby for sleep. If you are happy with how you settle your baby, and they have a safe sleep space, you don't need to change a thing.

But it's also ok to make changes if your settling approach is causing difficulties for you or your baby.

💫 We are all on our own parenting journey and we can make decisions and change our minds along the way.

❤️ There is more than one right way to parent.

"I wish I found you first" 👉🏽 we hear this all the time in our paediatric sleep clinics.

If the advice you've received goes against RACGP guidelines, defies the scientific consensus on infant sleep, and perhaps most importantly, makes your baby's sleep WORSE - then it's got to go 👋🏽

You aren’t in competition with anyone else. Someone else’s baby having more sleep than your baby says nothing at all about the quality of your parenting.

Did you know that just 10 minutes too much day sleep, for some babies, can make night time settling and night waking WAY more challenging?⁠
⁠
If the daily rhythm is out of whack, cot settling is going to feel like an impossibly agonising obstacle to overcome. ⁠
⁠
🙋‍♀️ Dr Fallon's advice? Don't even try cot settling until you've nailed the right daily rhythm for your little one. ⁠
⁠
Some babies show tired signs long before they're actually ready for sleep.⁠
⁠
Identifying your baby's unique sleep needs and implementing a tailored daily rhythm is a game changer 🏆⁠

Solving sleep challenges isn't just for the kids. It’s a gift to the whole family. Ready to reclaim your time and energy?⁠

If your toddler is fearful of being alone, then no reward will be big enough to help them overcome that fear. Reward charts should be used only when trying to increase motivation to make good choices - and your toddler's fear is not a choice (⬅️ read that again)

It's about building their confidence and you have to start small.

Show them:
💖 they are capable
💖 they are confident
💖 you are proud of them

Making changes to where or how your toddler falls asleep, doesn't have to be dramatic/traumatic/scary. You can make small changes, celebrate your wins, and before you know it your toddler will be full of confidence and sleeping like the little legend they are 💪🏼

Cosleeping toddler? You've got 3 options:
1️⃣ Don't sweat it - wait until they're old enough they decide to sleep in their own bed ✅
2️⃣ Keep cosleeping but tag team with your coparent, plan naps for yourself, & work on other aspects of your wellbeing ✅
3️⃣ Build your toddler's confidence so they're happy to sleep in their own bed ✅

All options are valid, but guess which is our favourite? Yep, it's number 3️⃣💫

The third option protects everyones sleep and well...we heard sleep is important 😉
