Just wanting a good nights sleep for you and your baby? Let me show you how easy it can be to help your baby learn positive sleep associations while being sensitive to your child’s emotional social and cognitive development. For 20 years I have worked with parents and babies sharing techniques that empower you to lovingly support your baby to learn the skills of self-settling and onto a positive routine that supports you them and your relationship and leads to a happy secure confident baby and parent bond. Lullababy SOS sleep programs are not your traditional controlled crying, comfort settling, gradual extinction methods of sleep training. This program is about helping you understand the science behind sleep development, how positive bedtime routines and association teach your baby how to self settle with Developmental readiness, minimises negative sleep associations and helps them to be confident in their overall routine and day-to-day. If negative sleep associations are already in place the Lullababy SOS program will show you how you can gently and respectfully remove these associations while supporting your baby during this transition so they feel secure confident and can build these self-settling skills with minimal stress to them and you so the whole family can get the sleep they need to thrive. Trusted by over 10,000 parents globally to support them and their babies. For booking and more information check out www.lullababysos.com.au

They say you parent the way you were parented…
But what if the map you were given wasn’t safe?
What if it was blank—or worse, filled with pain?

Becoming a mother when you didn’t feel mothered changes everything. 💔

I became a mum with my heart wide open, but my wounds still whispered, “Don’t mess this up.”

So I learned.

I studied child development and attachment years before I ever held my own baby.
Because I didn’t want to guess how to be a good mum
I wanted to break the cycle. 🕊️

If this hits home for you, know that you are not alone. I see you. I hear you.
if you entered motherhood not without the road map but with a longing

To do it differently.
To offer what you never received.
To soften the edges and heal what shaped you.
I see you

Breaking the cycle is silent.
It’s quiet.
It’s confronting.
It’s choosing to grow with your child.

It’s holding your baby with a love that was not inbuilt and had to be learned, not remembered.
This is why I do what I do—for my child, and for you and yours.
So you have a place to be held while you learn to hold.
A space where we meet grief with gentleness,
and grow into the mums our children—and our younger selves—needed all along.

As a Regional director of the APSC, it surprises me that so many parents don't do a little more research on the Sleep Consultant that the choose to support them with navigating a crucial stage in the child development and their parenting journey. To become a full member of the APSC you need to meet certain criteria and have a minimum of 5 years experience working in the field. Did you know that there are fewer than 15 consultants who have met this standard and are registered with the APSC Aus/NZ. You wouldn't trust and pay top 💸 for a first year apprentice to work on your home and you shouldn't with your child. Do your research before booking a consultant

Drop-offs don’t have to feel like a daily heartbreak.

January brings big shifts.
New daycare.
New rooms.
New faces.
New routines.

If tears are showing up at drop-off, try this.

Fill their cuddle cup.

Before you leave home:
• Big cuddle.
• “Oops, this part needs more.”
• Another cuddle.
• Fill it again.
• One last squeeze until it’s overflowing.

At daycare:
Move with calm confidence.
Bag away. Lunchbox in. Bottle down.
Clear. Steady. Predictable.

Right before you leave:
One more squeeze.
“All your cuddles to last until I come back.”

Then go.

Children feel what you carry.
Your calm helps them settle.
Your confidence helps them feel safe.
And at pick-up?
Big squeezes.
Cuddle cup refilled.

Lots of little ones start childcare toward the end of January.
If your child is one of them, this transition matters more than people realise.

A settled start isn’t about toughening them up.
It’s about preparation, familiarity, and connection.

Here are my key tips for a smoother childcare transition
(this is a shortened version of the full blog on my website):

• Research your centre
Visit. Ask questions. Watch how educators respond to children, not just what they say.

• Arrange playdates first
Short, supported social time helps your child practise being with others while you stay close.

• Introduce a comforter
A familiar lovie from home can offer safety when everything else feels new.

• Support early self-settling
Gentle settling skills before childcare reduce stress for your child and their educators.

• Expect illness and plan for it
Start when possible in a calmer season and support immunity with good nutrition and probiotics.

• Label everything
It saves time, stress, and missing favourite items.

• Create a childcare wardrobe
Comfort over cuteness. Mess is part of learning.

• Keep drop-offs short
A calm, confident goodbye is easier than a long, emotional one. Hand over to a trusted educator.

• Simplify evenings at home
Easy dinners. Reconnection first. Bedtime second.

• Trust the transition
Disruption is normal. Children settle when they feel safe, supported, and understood.

If you want the deeper guidance behind each of these points, the full blog is on my website.
This phase can feel big — but with the right support, it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Happy childcare journey! 😊

Early Rising? Let’s Fix It Together 🌞

Summers early 🌅 can bring early wake-ups — and I know how tough that feels! A common mistake is adjusting the first nap too early. For example, if your 6-month-old wakes at 5 a.m., try keeping them in the cot (with support) until 6 a.m., then start your day and aim for the first nap around 8 a.m. — based on your desired wake time, not the actual one.

💡 Tips to beat early rising:

Keep the room cool and comfy.

Rule out hunger.

Avoid overtiredness.

Balance day sleep.

Block out that early morning light. With Block out blinds

Speaking of light — our Sweed Dreams Blockout Blinds are a game changer for creating a dark, peaceful sleep space. Easy to use, affordable, portable and reusable! (Link in comments)

Let’s tackle early rising together and help your little one (and you!) sleep better. 💛

Our Story

Hi, I'm Elaine Harvey, wife, mum, owner of Lullababy SOS. I’m an Early Childhood Educator and a Certified Paediatric Sleep Consultant and the Australasia Regional Director for the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants. I help mums and dads with all things baby and Toddler related with a special focus on sleep settling and routine. I have worked with over 10,0000 families over 18 years, both in Australia and globally. Over this time, I've seen how parenting has changed. Parents now have access to more information and resources about Early Childhood development than ever before, but sadly they seem to be more confused than ever. Babies, unfortunately, don't come with a manual, and everyday parents are searching the internet for that little nugget that will finally help them. They are putting pressure on themselves and feel the pressure externally to have all the answers.

Parenting is a journey, and each day what you learn can change your perspective, build your confidence or erode it away. I want you to know you are not alone; you're not supposed to have all the answers; you're not supposed to know how to manage every situation every day. For every problem, there are many solutions some that will work for you and some that won't. My goal first and foremost is to help parents understand how they have everything they need to help their little ones grow and develop. I show parents how to breakdown the overwhelm with a healthy routine, understand sleep science and make small changes that make a HUGE difference so they can find their confidence in their parenting power.

Help for parents who are finding it hard to cope with the lack of sleep so many parents suffer when their child is not sleeping well Private sleep consultations, overnight support, help with routines, nighttime sleep, naps, day sleeps and feeding issues. Mothers group workshops, professional development talks & workshops, telephone & internet support, practical postnatal rescue & survival techniques to settle baby. Sleep Specialist
