This weekend is the end of Daylight Savings across most of Australia. Now is the time to prepare!!! Here are some simple steps to help you adjust to the new time schedule:

1️.Gradually shift bedtime: Start adjusting your baby's bedtime by 15 minutes earlier each night leading up to the time change. This will help them ease into the new schedule without disrupting their sleep too much.

2. Adjust naptimes: Similarly, adjust your baby's nap schedule by shifting it earlier in small increments over the days leading up to the time change.

3️. Be consistent: Stick to your baby's new sleep schedule even after the time change. Consistency is key for helping them adapt smoothly.

4️.Use light cues: Light is a powerful cue for our bodies and their circadian rhythm, so expose your baby to natural light in the morning and dim lights in the evening to help regulate their internal clock.

5️. Be patient: It may take a few days for your baby to fully adjust to the new schedule, so be patient and understanding during this transition period.

Remember, every baby is different, so feel free to adjust these tips to suit your little one's needs and always reach out with any questions! Sleepy Baby Sleep Consultancy is here to help!!!

Let's talk about something that can make bedtime a breeze and bring smiles to everyone's faces – a consistent bedtime routine! 💤✨ Here's why it's so important:

1. Better Sleep, Brighter Days: Following a regular bedtime routine helps kids fall asleep faster and enjoy more restful nights, leaving them refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead.

2️. Happy Hearts and Minds: With a consistent bedtime routine, children feel safe and secure, promoting feelings of calmness and happiness that carry over into their waking hours.

3️. Family Harmony: Say goodbye to bedtime battles! Establishing a predictable routine brings peace and harmony to the household, making evenings a time for connection and relaxation.

4️. Healthy Growth and Development: Quality sleep is essential for growing bodies and minds. By sticking to a bedtime routine, you're giving your little ones the fuel they need to thrive and flourish.

5️. Lifelong Habits: Consistency sets the stage for success! By instilling a bedtime routine early on, you're helping your children develop healthy sleep habits that will serve them well throughout their lives.

Newborn sleep is often the greatest challenge a new parent will face. I currently have a 6 week old in the house - I get it!

New parents are more often than not exhausted, emotional and overwhelmed. A baby who then doesn't sleep adds to their feelings of exhaustion. The newborn stage can be HARD! It is always full of emotions - parents and baby's!

A newborn cannot be sleep trained BUT positive habits can most definitely be started from the get go! I am a big believer in SLEEP BREEDING SLEEP!

Here are some facts and tips to help you navigate those precious early sleep stages:

Fact: Newborns sleep a lot – around 14-17 hours a day, but in short bursts.

Tip: Establishing a consistent wind down routine can help signal to your baby that it's time to sleep.

Fact: Newborns have irregular sleep patterns. They often wake up every 2-3 hours for feeding.

Tip: Embrace naps. Encourage your baby to nap during the day to avoid overtiredness, which can make nighttime sleep more challenging.

Fact: Newborns are comforted by familiar sounds and smells. They find comfort in the sounds of your voice and the smell of your skin.

Fact: Newborns are not born with a day/ night sleep cycle. It takes time for them to develop this rhythm.vided by a parent's touch and presence. Keep it simple, trust your instincts, and know that you are the best support for your baby's sleep.

Fact: Newborns are not born with a day/night sleep cycle. It takes time for them to develop this rhythm.

Tip: During night time feedings, keep the lights low and avoid stimulating activities to help your baby learn the difference between day and night. Allow your baby to nap in the living area during daylight hours.

Fact: Safe sleep is crucial for newborns. Always place your baby on their back to sleep and ensure their sleep area is free of loose bedding or soft toys.

🌙 Remember, every baby is different, and it's okay to seek support if you're struggling with your newborn's sleep patterns. Please reach out if you are needing help with your newborn sleep! 💕

Is your bub starting daycare this year?

Are you feeling anxious?
Overwhelmed?
Excited?
Nervous?
All of the above?!

All of these feelings are completely normal! You can expect many changes with this transition into a new type of care. Some may feel very out of your control as you hand over your baby to someone else to care for, for perhaps the first time.

The impact on sleep can also be of concern. Below are some evidence-based insights into sleep patterns and daycare.

Social Stimulation: Daycare introduces infants to increased social interactions, stimulating their cognitive and emotional development. Research suggests this can contribute to improved daytime napping due to enhanced mental and physical engagement.

Establishing Routine: Studies show that structured routines at daycare positively influence sleep patterns. Consistent nap times and activities help regulate the circadian rhythm, fostering better adaptation to a defined sleep schedule.

Transition Period: Scientifically, the initial adjustment to a new environment may cause temporary disruptions in sleep. Studies indicate that most infants experience a transitional phase before adapting to the daycare routine, emphasising the importance of patience.

Quality Sleep at Night: Surprisingly, some studies suggest that the increased daytime stimulation at daycare may contribute to more restful nighttime sleep. The balanced exposure to activities and social interaction during the day can positively impact overall sleep quality.

Communication is Key: Evidence supports the significance of transparent communication with daycare providers. Studies highlight that regular updates and collaboration with caregivers contribute to a smoother transition and better understanding of the child's sleep needs.

Always keep at the front of mind YOU are your childs greatest advocate so if you have questions, queries or concerns always chat to your daycare provider. If you have any other concerns feel free to DM me!

Babies like adults, experience varying levels of sleep throughout the night. You may find yourself watching your bub and wondering exactly how asleep they actually are! Their eyelids may move, they may get the cute little smile, maybe a frown- are they dreaming? Are they awake? Are they 'pretending' to sleep to lull you into a false sense of security? See below for an explanation of those stages of sleep babies (and us!) go through.

NREM (Non-Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep 😴: In the initial phase, baby experiences light sleep, characterized by slow eye movements and occasional movements. This accounts for about 50% of their sleep time.

Transition to Deep Sleep 🌌: As baby delves deeper into the night, they progress to deep sleep. Breathing slows, muscles relax, and it becomes more challenging to wake them.

REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep 🌠: Ah, the dream stage! This usually kicks in around 70-90 minutes after falling asleep. Baby's eyes move rapidly in various directions, and brain activity resembles that of waking hours.

Light Sleep Returns 🌜: Following REM, there's a return to light sleep. This cycle repeats multiple times throughout the night, with each sleep stage playing a crucial role in development and restoration.

Morning Wakefulness ☀️: Towards the end of the night, baby may experience shorter sleep cycles and periods of wakefulness. It's a natural part of the sleep rhythm as they transition to being fully awake.

All sleep is important and helps your baby develop their brain function. Good sleep habits and routines are necessary and achievable (particularly after the 4 month mark). If you are needing any help or have any questions please shoot me a message!
