Baby’s are born to communicate – their survival depends on it. How they look at you with those cute big eyes? Their chubby cheeks and squishy huggable arms and legs. The way they squeak and babble baby talk to you, OH my ovaries!!! 🥹🥰🥰

Babies are dependent on us for everything, absolutely everything. So, it makes sense that we would be gaga over them! The survival of our race depends on it!!

But how do you read them?

🩷 Watch their gaze – where they turn their eyes, in what direction? Are they looking for engagement and play? Or are they signalling play time is over? It’s now bedtime? Are their eyes looking straight at you? Or are they glazed over and seem to be daydreaming? So much can be said by just a look! Am I right?

🩷 Watch their expression - this will reinforce your gut instincts about how your baby is feeling. Their facial expression will let you know how they are feeling.
How is your baby moving? Are their arms and legs doing calm tai-chi type movements? Or are they boxing with fists closed? Is their torso squirming and twisting? Are they pulling up their legs towards their face? Or are they lying with arms up above their head still and quiet?

🩷 Lastly, what sort of sounds are they making? If a baby needs your help you will know about it! If they are in any discomfort or danger or pain, you will know about it! Also, the same if they’re happy and content…

We need to take the time to be curious about what they are trying to tell us and put all this information together as well as listening to our gut instincts or our mothering brain! Our matrescence!

Be patient, be curious and trust yourself knowing you are the best parent for your baby!

Let’s not make baby sleep so complicated!
It’s not your job to put your baby to sleep!!

You know what is your job though?

To make their sleep environment conducive to fall asleep, what does that mean? To make the area calm and chill, like you’re in a spa – sh sh sh sh, relax, breathe deeply, manifest positivity! ✨😄

Your other job?
To identify when your baby is tired – watch their body language – they are talking to you Mumma!! Is their sleep pressure high? How do you know? Would you like more information around this?

Your final job?
Reinforce your emotional connection with your baby so they feel safe. This is probably THE most important part.

If you’re feeling unsure, stressed and worrying - your baby will not feel safe enough to drop off to sleep. This includes you doing self-care – daily!! It’s not indulgent, it’s necessary for the emotional health of your family!!

Once you start doing this you will all be getting sleep!

I want to dedicate this post to the many Mums out there that are feeling defeated, exhausted, touched out and desperate because of a lack of sleep. But not just because of a lack of sleep, because of failed expectations.

They’re feeling like they’ve failed themselves and their babies (which they haven’t) because of western society’s cultural expectations that their baby should be acting or behaving or sleeping in a certain way and they’re not.

They have done nothing wrong!

Their charge is that they’re listening to what society deems as “good parenting” Not listening to their instincts, not listening to their baby’s body language, not listening to their new inner Mother’s voice. Instead, they are watching the clock, timing feeds, timing sleeps and awake windows and listening to everyone else’s advice. Complicating something that is biological and natural.

How can we change this? How can we support you? What do you need?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments. 😊

Did you know that newborn babies only have two cycles of sleep? 😴✨

50% of their sleeping time is in active sleep — where they are dreaming 💭, twitching, smiling , eyes flicking open and closed , and their little bodies moving around. So much so that as we’re looking at them, we’re thinking, “They’re awake!!” 😳 … but the worst part is that it feels like you’ve only just put them down! Arrgghh!! 😩

This is where we need to have confidence in our abilities to listen to our gut instincts and read our baby’s body language. If they need our help, they will absolutely ask for it — they’ll cry out to you, “Help! I need you!” 🥺

But if they don’t need our help, they may continue being noisy and appearing like they’re “awake” — yet stay in this active sleep for a good 45 minutes to an hour!

Trust and responsiveness are everything in a newborn’s life. They feel safe when they know their parent will come when (and if) they call out 🫶🏼.

The gorgeous baby in this video ended up sleeping on the mat for an hour before waking for a feed 🍼. Watch how his eyes open and close 👀, then he has a little stretch before settling again 😌.

You’ve got this! 💛 😁

Developmental assessments are scheduled at crucial stages:
✅ birth to 14 days
✅ 8 weeks
✅ 4 months
✅ 1 year old
✅ and 2 years old!

These check-ins are designed to monitor your child’s growth and development, quickly identifying any delays so that treatment and therapies can start early.

The sooner a delay is identified, the better the chances your child has to reach their full potential within the normal developmental age range.

You might choose to book these developmental assessments with Baa Baa Baby instead of attending your local Child Health Clinic. This way, you and your baby can build a special, consistent relationship with Monique, who will be there for you throughout their childhood. Does this sound good?

How does it feel for you when your child all of a sudden chucks a tanty? Hahaha 😂

Your brain goes “Holy sh$*!! 🤯 How do I stop this?” Because it makes us feel uncomfortable 😬. It’s hard for us to sit in discomfort – it’s not something we’re taught to do, so not many of us are good at it… me included! 🙋‍♀️

Plus, we as adults feel we have to fix everything!

It’s our child, therefore our responsibility, to calm our child’s nervous system and fix whatever they’re complaining about so we can go on with our happy lives 😌✨ Isn’t that right?

I’m telling you here and now… STOP! ✋

This is the first step. Stop whatever you’re doing and just watch your child for a second 👀. It doesn’t have to be long – even though it feels like an eternity – it’s only a second or maybe two before you open your mouth.

Next is to BREATHE 🌬️😮‍💨

Have you noticed when we get into a stressful moment (eg. our child having a meltdown) we hold our breath? That alone sets our nervous system off into a spiralling stressed-out state – that’s when we yell, scream, threaten, smack… basically turning into our parents (which we never want to do).

But when you breathe – and focus on a longer exhalation 🌬️– you switch on the Frontal Cortex part of your brain 🧠, your Intelligence Centre – the one that differentiates us from animals.

When this is working, you’re more likely to make a responsive response rather than a reactive one. Meaning you respond with kindness and patience . Then we can validate them and their feelings 🤗, which will de-escalate the situation and stress by more than 50% – how good is that?!

Are you leading the way with every decision in your day? 🤯
From what activities you’re doing, to what clothes they’re wearing, to the food they’re eating…

Imagine how they would feel. 💭

This is more than a simple strategy — it’s worth a million dollars in your child’s confidence and self-worth 💛✨

When you invite your child’s opinion, you’re showing them respect 🤍
You’re acknowledging that they have an opinion, that it matters, and that you’re interested in hearing it.
You might not always agree — but you’re still recognising and respecting their voice 🙌

When children feel seen and heard 👀👂
They feel valued… and deeply loved 🥰

Asking for their opinion doesn’t mean you have to do what they suggest ❌➡️✅
This is where consistency and boundaries come in. Clear boundaries give your child the structure they need to feel safe — and with safety comes happiness and play! 🌈🧸

Example 👇
“I can see you really want to play outside today 🌞. That would make you so happy. We can do that tomorrow when it’s cooler (we’ve been having some very hot weather here in Perth, WA 🔥). Today, we can do one of your other favourite things — playing with your train set inside in the air-conditioning 🚂❄️.”

Make a mental note to follow through, and later say:
“Remember on Monday when you wanted to play outside? Would you like to do that today?” 🗓️💬

Are you trapped in your toddler’s room every single night? 😩
Lying in the dark, waiting for them to fall asleep… 🌙
Dreading that they might hear you sneak out just as you think they’re finally asleep? 🫣

Each night you swear it’s going to be different — but here you are again… and again! 😵‍💫
Arghhh!!
And on top of that, you’re absolutely exhausted! 😴
Do you feel like everything you try just doesn’t work?! 🤯

I’m here for you 🤍

I come to your home, where you are relaxed and your toddler is relaxed. Together, we go through everything — from your child’s personality, sleep education at this age, what you’ve tried before, what’s worked in the past, and of course… actually getting your toddler to sleep! 💤✨

How good does that sound? 🙌
Are you ready to change your life and finally get more sleep? 🌈

Can you tell when your baby is doing the tired cry? 😴👶

When they do this cry, they will also show some tired signs physically – which might give you a hint that this is the tired cry. 👀
What does it sound like?

It’s like when we yawn 🥱 but with a cry added to it. We often go “ahhh” ourselves when we yawn, imagine that – but as a cry 😢. Their mouth is open wide 😮 and it’s an “ow-ow” type sound 🔊.

Baby Sienna here is saying very clearly, “I’m tired, I need to sleep” 😴💤

Can you hear it? 👂

Play it over and over 🔁 so you start to recognise the “owww” part more easily.
Now, if you start to suspect your baby is getting tired 🤍 – watch their body language 👶👐, but also close your eyes 😌 and really listen to the cry they are making 👂✨

Can you hear it?

Just look at this gorgeous baby! 😍 Such a calm baby, with good manners and so patient with us and his mumma!! 😂💙

His behaviour is shouting out “I’m tired!” 😴📣 He’s got red eyes and red eyebrows 👀🔴, his gaze is spacing out, and he’s also not wanting to engage 🙈.

Now then, he’s starting to get frustrated with us adults 😩 “How clearer can I show you – I’m tired?” 🤷‍♂️💤 and so he starts to do a little grizzle as well.

Oh right – you’re tired!! 😆 Let me give you a cuddle 🤗💞

Watch for the little signs! 👀✨ The beauty that’s in your child, if we only just stop and take the time to look 💛🌸

Do you need help identifying what these are in your baby? 🤱💭
