As the seasons start to shift, I’m having more and more conversations with parents about early morning wakes, especially between 3 & 5am.⁠

Many parents have not adjusted their little ones sleep atire since last month, or even since Xmas!

Before jumping to routines or sleep training… have you considered the temperature?⁠

The early hours of the morning are often the coldest part of the night. And while you might be warm going to bed, you’ve probably noticed yourself pulling the covers up around 3am. I know I have!⁠

Your baby feels that drop too⁠

My recommendation:⁠

✔ Dress your little one for the cooler early morning temperature, not just bedtime⁠
✔ If you’re worried about them being too warm when going down intially, use a fan and the turn the fan off when you go to bed⁠

(Unless you’re getting up overnight, then you can adjust as needed)⁠

Sometimes it’s not routine… Sometimes it’s just temperature, and an easy fix!⁠

Just some food for thought ⁠

In March 2027, I’ll be heading to Nepal as part of a 23 day medical tour with Nurses in Action.

To say I’m excited would be an understatement.

As a midwife & registered nurse, this kind of work sits right at the heart of why I do what I do; supporting families, educating, and helping create better outcomes, wherever that may be.

As part of my commitment, I pay for all of my expenses AND I also need to fundraise $1850.

So from today my "buy me a coffee" will be help me get to Nepal.. with all proceeds going towards the medical tour. If you’d like to contribute the link is in my bio. Every bit of support helps make this possible.

This isn’t about ticking a travel box for me, it is about stepping into something bigger. I will be part of a team of healthcare professionals working together to support communities in Nepal, where access to care isn’t always guaranteed.

Through out the program I will be emersing myself within the community through

✨ Child and maternal health
✨ Wound management
✨ Immunisations
✨ General nursing care
✨ Medical camps in remote communities (often seeing 200–300 patients in a single day)
✨ Home visits
✨ Health education in schools and local communities
✨ Supporting sustainable practices around hygiene, sanitation and nursing care

Programs like this aren’t just about short-term help. They’re about building capacity, sharing knowledge, and supporting long-term, sustainable change within communities.

I’ll share more as the time gets closer

Your baby might not need a new routine… they might just be overtired.⁠

I know that routines are often the first thing parents change when sleep becomes unsettled. ⁠

But before you overhaul your entire day, it’s important to look at what’s really happening underneath the surface.⁠

One of the biggest reasons I see babies suddenly fighting sleep, cat napping or waking early is not because their routine is “wrong”… but because their little bodies are running on cortisol.⁠

When babies stay awake too long, their body releases cortisol — the stress hormone that gives them a burst of energy to keep going. Parents often think, “Wow, they don’t look tired anymore!” when in fact they have missed their sleep window.⁠

What does this look like?⁠

▪️ Short naps⁠
▪️ Difficult bedtime settles⁠
▪️ Early morning wakes⁠
▪️ Suddenly resisting the routine that used to work⁠

Before you change everything — slow down.⁠

Look at their tired signs.⁠
Look at their awake windows.⁠
Look at how much daytime sleep they are actually getting.⁠

Sometimes the answer isn’t a new routine… it’s simply helping your baby get back into balance. A simple step - slow your BTR down.⁠

Every baby is different. Every family is different. If what you’re doing is working — keep doing it.⁠

Just some P2B food for thought.

I’m often described as black and white in my recommendations.⁠

And you know what… initially, that’s probably true.⁠

When I walk into a family’s home, most parents are overwhelmed.⁠
Overwhelmed with advice.⁠
Overwhelmed with conflicting information.⁠
Overwhelmed with what they “should” be doing.⁠

There is so much noise around parenting.⁠

So where do we start?⁠

We start with a plan.⁠

I work through the who, what, when and why, your baby, your family, your routines, your goals. And together we create a clear starting point.⁠

Because when you’re overwhelmed, you don’t need more noise…⁠

You need clarity.⁠

But here’s the important part…⁠

That plan is never set in stone.⁠

As we work together:⁠

• Your baby grows⁠
• Your baby changes⁠
• Your confidence grows⁠
• Your family dynamics evolve⁠

And the plan evolves too.⁠

So yes… I may sound black and white at the beginning.⁠

But to me it’s not black and white...⁠

It’s a starting point.⁠

From there, we adjust, refine and work together…⁠
Because every baby, every family and every journey is different ⁠

Our Story

My name is Michelle Jackson and I am a Registered Midwife, Registered Nurse, Infant Sleep Specialist and Childbirth Educator. In the past 20 years, I have worked extensively in both private and public practice in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. My experience includes all facets of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting. I am also a mother of 3 children, and as a mother and midwife, I realise that life is busy. I am passionate about supporting families which is how P2b was founded. PRIVATE ANTENATAL CLASSES I have a passion for antenatal education and saw that there was a need for more personalised and private antenatal classes on the Gold Coast. Not everyone has the time to attend large groups of childbirth classes over 4-6 weeks. As a result, I started P2B offering a unique service on the Gold Coast providing practical, unbiased, evidence based and personalised antenatal education ….. all in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Classes take anything from 4 - 5 hours. They can be done over 2 days/nights or on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon. My personal birth and parenting experiences are vast. They include a vaginal delivery and caesarean section. As a result, I strongly believe that individual birthing and parenting options / choice is paramount. I aim to support, respect and inform parents to be of their birthing and parenting choices no matter what that may be. Labour is a amazing journey into the unknown. It is important to focus on what awaits you at the end of your long, hard journey! SLEEP & SETTLING ADVICE I also believe that one of the most important lessons we can teach our baby's is the art of sleep. I know from personal experience how stressful it can be when your baby doesn't sleep. My sleep and settling techniques are age dependent. I offer assistance with routines that are flexible yet structured and most importantly adapted specifically to you and your baby. I offer online advice - This service includes an initial phone consultation and then follow up emails, text and phone support as required. I also offer in home visits for up to 2 hours or up to 4 hours. All in home consultations include 1 week ongoing support.

EARLY PARENTING SUPPORT

Being a parent is an exciting and rewarding experience and P2B offers a range of parenting support services including weekly weighs and early parenting education. Continuity of care is essential for new parents and this service allows for P2B to support parents through their transition into parenthood – all from the comfort of their own home.

P2B postnatal support includes 5 x 1 hour (in your home) visits post hospital discharge. These visits need to can be utilized within the first 10 weeks’ post birth.
