Starting solids can be such a fun and exciting time!

But did you know that new foods can sometimes affect your baby’s sleep?

Many babies are starting solids around 6 months of age. Until then, your baby has only had breastmilk or formula as their source of nutrition.

When we introduce new foods, it can sometimes make their tummy feel a bit different.

Not only that but the addition of fibre can change the consistency of your little one’s poos.

Allergens can also cause discomfort & reactions in some children.

Now that we break it down we can see how new foods can cause new & unusual feelings in our little one’s tummies, which can sometimes affect their sleep.

To help avoid major tummy issues or sleep disruptions:

Introduce one new food at a time to start with.

Do this in middle of the day so it doesn’t disrupt their night sleep.

Maintain good milk feeds & offer water with meals to help prevent constipation.

And of course monitor your little one for any reactions & consult with your doctor if required.

Dummies 💫

They are a great tool to help calm & sooth a fussy baby or toddler.

But for some of the younger babies dummies can start to become problematic as they become reliant on it & are a bit too young to be able to replace their dummy on their own.

Luckily there are some options available when it comes to making decisions around whether to keep the dummy or ditch it.

👉🏼4-6 months your can either keep it or ditch it. Some families choose to keep it as their little ones are either not super reliant or it’s not a major problem for them. And even it you were to ditch it, you have options.

👉🏼7/8 months +
It can be easier to keep it & teach your little one to find & replace it on their own. Just be prepared to hold onto it until closer to 2.5-3 years of age when your little one can understand giving the dummy away to the dummy fairy, santa or the easter bunny.

Story time before sleep is a fantastic way to wind down your little one for a peaceful night!

Did you know?

Sophie and her husband had a sleep consultant help to set a routine for their then 7mo daughter. Part of that routine was to read books before sleep!

To this day they read 5 books before bed and their daughter sleeps 11-12 hours a night!

It’s amazing what books can do! 📕 📖

Yet to find the right routine for you & your little one? 🤔

✨✨Consider a Short /Long

Essentially this is a routine with a shorter morning nap & a long 2hr lunch nap (and 3rd catnap if you have a younger bub).

It worked a treat for me as I used to love getting out for a walk in the morning, or in some errands.

And I got to use that long lunch nap for my studies or rest!

Tell me in the comments what routine worked (or is working) for you!

Has your little one’s sleep left you lost & confused & it’s all feeling a bit too much?

Well... I’m here to help!

Just like I did this mum of 22 month old bub.

Within 2 weeks we achieved so much:

From: zero self settling skills (meaning she needed contact & feeding to fall asleep day & night) & a night wake which could not be settled without feeding.

To: Self settling beautifully day & night, no night feeds & we figured out her ideal routine & awake window before bed to support optimal night sleep.

Are you ready for this kind of change?

DM me to learn more.

Have you purchased a sleep trainer clock in the hope that it will be the solution to all of your toddler’s sleep issues?

Well listen up because I have a truth bomb to drop...

💣 Sleep trainer clocks alone will NOT stop your toddler from getting out of bed.

They act as a great visual aid, but without clear boundaries & supporting tools, they are essentially colourful night lights! 🎨

Luckily we have so much to work with when it comes to working on improving toddler sleep so believe me when I say all is not lost.

Need expert support to help you properly utilise sleep trainer clocks & help your toddler want to stay in bed?

‼️Attention tired parents

Just your friendly reminder…

✨Looking after our children, starts with looking after ourselves!

You would have heard my story by now, but as a new parent I too had my struggles with sleep deprivation, to the point of pure exhaustion, burnout, resentment…

Finally getting the sleep I needed was the best way I could have ever looked after myself, so that I could be the best version of myself for my child & family.

(Little did I know sleep would also become my passion in supporting other tired families 🤗)

Prioritising your own sleep might look like:

👉🏼Going to bed early & leaving bedtime to your partner
👉🏼Alternating nights with your partner
👉🏼Introducing bottle feeds or formula so others can help with night feeds
👉🏼Safe co-sleeping (if it works for you)
👉🏼Seeking support from family/friends
👉🏼Or you might even choose sleep training!

Ready to prioritise sleep for yourself & your little one?

The timing of nap transitions can vary from
child to child.

Some babies will transition to 2 naps as early as
6.5 months & some as late as 9 months.

But on average it occurs around
7-8 months of age.

Always remember that every baby is different.

It’s important to look out for signs of readiness rather than what other babies are doing.
